Anime Tosho will begin shutting down permanently on 2026-05-09

This is a somewhat temporary page made especially for the beta version of this website. It's to collect all your death threats, love messages, requests to the code monkeys or just suggestions/issues/questions/criticisms/idle talk or whatever feedback you think is worth our database space.

thank you for everything, this has been a really good alternative to nyaa.si as i can no longer reach the main site where i live.
really hoping for a revival of some sort by someone though.

Admin, surely there's a way?

Put a notice up on the site offering the chance for applicants to take over the site, spend a little time training them how to navigate the idiosyncrasies of your code (I know you once said that the code wasn't designed for others) Whats the worse that could happen? It's going to crash and burn anyway.

You also have the option of doing a crowd funding to go towards site costs and rewarding you for your efforts? I would donate.

If someone wants to take over the site, they can do so by running their own copy of it. I'm happy to direct users to such copies.
I can answer some questions around the code, but I do expect people to mostly figure it out for themselves.

Thank you for everything and having to shoulder it all. This has been a wonderful site and great communication with everybody as well. Hopefully in the future you are able to restart the site again or possibly with more help later on. It has been amazing to have the ease of use and wish you the very best in life and all future endeavors.

@Admin Thanks for everything~<333

I'm digging through the open sourced code.
I spot a lot of technical debt, which feels like a annoying bunch of chores to deal with.

I can't wrap my head around what https://github.com/animetosho/uploader-php-ext tries to resolve though.
What and why couldn't be done in PHP?

probably for speed as php is slow and many more things

Most of it isn't so useful. In fact, I think you can run without it as the code has fallbacks for if it isn't there.

sendfile is slightly more efficient than read+write calls for uploading, but it only works with raw streams and basically all hosts these days use HTTPS, so doesn't get used any more. Though there's OpenSSL's SSL_sendfile if you want to go there, but the efficiency gain might not be worth it.
posix_fadvise was meant to help hint the disk scheduler, but you can mostly get the same effect with large read buffers, which is what the script does anyway, so not all that useful.

swap4 encoding is used for obfuscation when wrapping uploads in 7z archives. Currently no uploaders wrap uploads in 7z, but it's there if it's ever needed.
You can of course do the encoding in PHP, but the ways I could come up with were all significantly slower than doing it in a custom extension.

love you admin + everyone who interacted with me(including my anon comments) in the comments, this is part of my fav. sites list, this site was the reason i was able to interact with 2B, Trix, admin and so many more people, also i am so happy to have a release of mine listed before the shutdown as a memory, meow

Now we have a date. I figured earlier in the month was going to be a reality based on previous posts about data consumption and lowering activity until it resets.

Thank you again. Everything must come to dust.

I only just saw the message of the shutdown D= You've probably already read this kind of message thousands of times but I also want to add my appreciation for your work and this site. I used it as an unofficial tracker on top of a place to dl my anime and it will be sorely missed. There's nothing to really quite replace it in my heart but wishing you the best in your future endeavors.
