Why is /a/ so butthurt about MT going down? You know there are

>>108686563
No one cares about it going down since some anon bought the data, it's the information that was hacked that made everyone go bonkers.

>>108686619

Before that, there were tons of people trying to download the whole library. Where did said data go?

Scanlations are disappearing from the internet anyway

Daily reminder that Daiz killed MT and stole the donation.

direct downloads have higher quality than manga streaming sites run by sleazy admins whose main priority is maximizing their ad revenue from Google

for manga you don't care about, like Bleach, using pandamanga site is fine. But you wouldn't use a shitty streaming site that resizes and resamples and degrades visual quality down on a manga like Berserk or Blame! or what have you, would you?

>>108686941
MangaTraders has neither of those because muh licensing.

It bothers me because it was my go-to place for downloading releases from groups that only post on reader sites/irc.
>>108686563
>You know there are torrent sites like bakabt that can easily replace it, right? Just download Deluge and start torrenting
If you only read completed manga, sure. Also Deluge is a shit client.

MT did a great job at hosting loads of manga that isn't actually available in other places, for instance when a scanlator's site no longer exists or when their files are fucked for some reason. Their volume batches are also nice sometimes.

MT is valuable tool in the toolbox.

>>108686977
Oh yea? what do you use?

>>108687108
Kazaa.

>>108686563
Good luck finding seeders for old or unpopular stuff.

>>108686563
Speaking of Deluge, how come this client can't read letters other than the standard alphabet? I can't download anything japanese nor I can't download Love Live shits because theres a letter "µ" in the filename.

>>108687185
When that happens I just save the torrent file and open it manually, then it works.

>>108687108
After new versions of uTorrent turned to shit, I tried both Deluge and Transmission for a couple months each, but they both suck so in the end I just went back to uTorrent 2.2.1

Is there anything wrong with qBit?

>>108687461
No.

>>108686977
XDCC is fine but some don't have it.

It grips my asshole who some people only upload to readersites. MT was indeed useful in those situations, even if you had to wait a while.

>>108687461
if you support entropy, yes.

>>108687461
I would change to it, if I could import my torrents from utorrent through resume.dat. Real shame it can't.

>>108687162
And good luck finding torrents for stuff that wasn't even finished scanlating.

I could count on the fingers of my hands the number of times I've been on MangaTraders, but I was grateful for its existence every time I went there. It's quite sad, it was a place where I knew they had what I was looking for.

>>108686619
I hope that's true. I hope someone backed everything up. And I hope that said someone creates an FTP server.

Bakabt doesn't have much that's newer/unfinished.
Mangatraders was always great for series with shitty secret club scanlators who only give download links to their livejournal friends too.

>>108686758
Where are they going to? Hyperinternet?

BakaBT has uncompleted manga available like One Piece and Berserk, they update when entire volumes are completed.

>>108688150

No, they update whenever an "arc" finishes, and their definition is a bit loose.

Shorter series don't get partial releases at all.

He didn't buy the data. The bitcoins were given before the hacking and were a donation to pay for the server costs since the paypal donations were lost.

I was in #tradersnetwork at the time.
~$900 was the lost paypal donations.
$900 was for the upcoming payment on the 14th.
A lot of silliness and drama ensued because of someone from /pol/ trolling the channel.

In the end, Blue agreed to let Wilik (Aftershock) keep the full amount. Not like he had much choice though.

Some time later, an hour or two I believe, Blue asked for access so that he could download his own copy as well, since Sakisan was already given access.

If you want to see that as paying for the content, ok.

>>108688576

But why? What did they have to do with any of this?

>>108688897
They did the hacking, distribution, and cracking of the database info.

>>108688960
Yes, as I stated that was part of the drama. Wilik was trolling the /pol/ troll and everyone else at that time. That's what he later claimed anyway. If you want me to paste logs I can, but there's no real point to do so.

I hope at least you are being a well-intentioned buy misinformed rather than a troll.

What matters is that the manga is going to be saved and distributed.

I knew this shitty site woud get fucked

About a day or two before it was hacked I saw that they had $2000 in bitcoin donations. That's like waving a lottery ticket out your window in a ghetto neighbourhood

Fucking retards

>MD5 with no salt
They were asking to be hacked.

>>108690141
This wasn't discovered until after the hacking occurred.

That's just as silly as saying, "She was asking to be raped. Underneath her bulky artic wear parka and thick insulated leggings and several layers of clothing, she was wearing a thong."

>>108690269
Well, that is asking to be raped.

>>108690447
Is there a video or webm for this?

I think I saw it before but I wanna see the start

Meanwhile on IRC, Daiz is plotting and succeeding to convince everyone to be under his command and for everyone to follow of his rules.

>>108690269

Oh god, gooooood.

>>108688995
They could have held it in their fucking pants until we finished downloading the manga. It risked the admins taking down the site forever and taking their data with them. Luckily we managed to negotiate and work something out, but it's no thanks to some fucking dumbasses that were antagonizing them on their IRC.

I stopped browsing the threads after they got the bitcoin donation system up

So you're telling me some guy donated the money to cover the costs of the servers, but they somehow got hacked, and they're fucked and just not going to go back online?

Jesus Christ, I stopped browsing because I thought this shit was done with. Why are people in general such stupid faggots? Why does stupid shit like this have to happen?

>>108691132
>Why are people in general such stupid faggots?

And also specifically these people:
>>108688499

>>108690722
No, it had really shit security.

The hack was done on an unsecured development portal that allowed editting the DB directly. It was accessible by just using the folder name for that tool. The hacker got access to the forums that way and somehow ended up with root access.

>>108686563

HS pls.

>>108690855
It's not about justification. It's about danger prevention.

The great irony here is that /a/'s help fucked the site over harder than it was fucked over by PayPal.

MT may have been able to get enough bitcoin donations to pay running costs without /a/. After all, they've been working off donations in the pass as well.

But /a/ got involved. And they formed an archiving project. And a jackass in the archiving project decided to create himself an admin user through SQL injection. And then the jackass decided to post the entire DB to "help" the project. And then other jackass decided to scrape it for passwords.

>>108691433
You know what could have saved MT?
An admin who has read at least one online guide about server security.

>>108691556
This.

>>108691556
Are you trying to defend attacking a site for no good reason?

Just how massive will those torrent files be? The .torrent themselves. Files should amount to the thousands. Even if distributed over several torrents, they should be pretty big.

>>108700212
He's just one person, though.

I think .torrent size depends more on number of chunks than on number of contained files. With big enough chunks .torrent can be rather small.

You're all very welcome. I don't mind being thanked. I just don't want the thread to be about me. There are many other anons working harder than me at this with their fancy servers and knowledge of networking and tools and scripts. For a simple gathering of anons, sakisan's team is pretty amazing and it really speaks to the kind of diversity that browses /a/. They're doing the bulk of the work. I just throw money at things with reckless abandon, ask questions about the most basic things, and help out with what I can.

>>108700524
There will likely be multiple torrent files, most likely separated by alphabetical groups. In such a case, certain letters will have a lot more than others. Q for example, would be filled with Qualia the Purple and... I really don't know what else.

Is it not possible to have direct downloads? Most people who tend to use manga download sites are usually looking for obscure unfinished series that'll probably hardly get any seeds.

>>108701431
Two somewhat related questions: where are you located and where are the MT servers located? Also, I imagine you have really fast internet connection.

That's out of my ability to answer for now. I'm not the one with the ability to host anything. The MT Admin confirmed that MangaTraders utilized 110 Terabytes of Download Bandwidth a month. Someone might be able to handle such a thing. Mind you, once this torrent goes out, people with such capabilities will want to get their hands on everything. So the faster our team can finish everything and get it all out, the sooner the rest of the internet can come out with their own solutions to this problem.

Was Masamune still the head admin at MT? I remember he was the head of Hentaitraders back when that still existed.

How does one help with the downloading?

So wait was the $1800~ of donations really stolen?

So is Woxxy not saving manga?

So my email was on the list that was floating around which only had the encrypted passwords, but wasn't on the list with the decrypted ones. How safe am I?

>>108703142
They weren't encrypted, they were MD5 sums, they were the same as plaintext, if someone has the MD5 hash of your password they can instantly reverse it and use your password.

>>108703142
Change your fucking passwords

>>108703142
Safe unless you used the same password somewhere else because the site is dead now.

>>108703201
If it's the same password you use for any common site that uses email as your username then you should change that password.

>>108703201

Never knew about it, I would believe it though. "The Company" a "scanlator group" (they only do Korean web comics) is one of the worst groups out there and does pretty much everything you listed and as you probably know are the owners of Batoto.

>>108707514
I dislike plenty: easygoing scans, village idiot, and most of all kisu kiss manga (not to be confused with KISS manga) are all at the top of my list for picking up dozens of new series every month and thinking for some reason they own or have a claim on "their project" while they take months between releases with a fucked up series prioritization system where great series are queued for FOTM/shit.

Kisu is probably the worst group that is still alive though and instead of just annoying me like the other two is pure cancer for the manga scene. The series are not great, and they have released version 6 of some of the chapters, but check out the versions by Kisu and other group for All You Need is Kill and the Accelerator manga. Yes, they are so bad another group chooses to take over series they do.

So anyway, what would be the best way to keep manga up other than torrents? I've heard much about bitcon-blockchain-like file storage networks lately but all seem to be vaporware.

My emails, username, and passwords are not in any of the lists floating around in this thread. What the hell, how did I log in? I know I had an MT account.

>>108703201
Don't be retarded, you can only "reverse" an MD5 hash by bruteforcing. GPU's can do billions per second so any widely used password pattern will get cracked very quickly, thanks to all the plaintext password leaks we've gotten.

But if your password is a random string of 20+ characters then it isn't going to be reversed anytime soon.

Scanlators are too full of themselves to let you autodownload chapters without making you visit their site somehow.

Some do have direct ftp downloads, that's always nice.

>>108713178
How could a web site make enough money to survive by doing this? People would not need to visit it at all.

It would be very easy to make this, a site with rss and magnet urls for torrents. But if I were to create this, it would need to pay for itself at least.

>>108713036

There's a reason nobody uses torrents. When you've got series only 3 people end up downloading, seeds don't last long.

Definitely not.

>>108714067
That was out of fairness. We've been through this many times. We were going to get everything off MT and that's what we will do. Searching for fujoshi secret clubs has nothing to do with MT so we don't give a fuck.

It doesn't seem completely unreasonable that I have to dl from their website/read from their reader to a certain extent if I really want it. Most of the time I don't hoard/keep the files on my comp. Am I one of the few that feel this way?

Can't really agree with this considering how volatile scanlator groups are. They could disappear a year later with their links going with them.

A year? Hahahah. Try a day.

Thing is, groups close. Then you have the occasional group that likes to spring clean and out go the links to their older series that they dropped. And the new groups don't always repost them.

When that does happen, I am fucked. No lie. I know, but I just don't have the motivation to optimize my storage and organization. But as it is, I don't have a strong attachment but when it is gone, I am going to regret it.

The person you replied to isn't me. You have no idea if they even like bl and not just providing information instead.
You look like an angry child afraid to catch the gay.

I don't reeally want to make a new thread for something as small as this. Does anyone know if someone is ripping crunchyroll's manga? I wanna read love theory, but I don't wanna pay crunchyroll, nor do I wanna read it off mangafox. Mangaupdates only marks them as scanlators
