Honest opinion of bakabt?

It was the best place to download most anime. Now I think I will move to AB because building ratio on Bakabt is pain. They accept things too slow even if you offer obivously best stuff out there.

The only place for old and obscure animu for me, now I can only watch new shit from nyaa

>>155912686
Request reseeds on nyaa.

>>155912474
Do they have same seeding point system as Jpopsuki? I'm always seeding some torrents (like 100 on Jpopsuki) but since it's completely random if people download some shit then even with high speed upload I send only like 10-50MB per month so the "points for time seeding torrents" is a fantastic system. Does BakaBT have the same system? If no then… well, shit, since I've been downloading tons of stuff and seeding it for long time too yet with BakaBT I never uploaded a byte. Wasn't logged in so thay may be the reason why.

Poor man's AB

>>155913797
AB lacks screenshots, it is a major flaw.

You can upload them yourself. It's just not as strongly enforced.

>>155913895
BakaBT lacks of torrents.

Great for any archival anime.

What is AB?

I rarely used it because I only follow the current season's shows, having already seen most of the worthwhile old anime before 2010.

But when I did use BakaBT, it was really good. It reminded me of an honest AnimeSuki. AnimeSuki back in the day hosted illegal torrents but the forum was filled with hypocritical faggots who would deny wrongdoing. At least BakaBT's community was honest about what they were doing and didn't give no fucks.

Jews finally killed them and that's a tragedy. Jews hate us poorfags.

>>155914658
OOH 15 THOUSAND PEOPLE HOW IMPRESSIVE

AB staff said in the BakaBT thread that the support/recovery channel on IRC got spammed with tons of people wanting to regain access to their account, but none got theirs back because all of them where disabled either for cheating and H&R's. Those who seed and respect the private tracker atmosphere are already on AB, and those currently trying to get in due to BBT's won't get accepted either way.

While I dislike /a/'s lazy mindset surrounding torrenting, it is worth mentioning that anime piracy has never been closer to collapse than ever before. The only real "strongholds" left are nyaa+HS, which are pretty much one identity.

Is it ever coming back?

Also I have a shit ratio, is it even worth fixing?

Seems like too much work especially when I only have a handful of old anime I want to download.

>>155914775
>that anime piracy has never been closer to collapse than ever before
How sooo?

>>155914775
What about TT?

Can someone explain to me what on earth happened to anime subbing and torrenting? It's all gone to shit these past few years. It can't all be because crunchyroll.

>>155914257
>extremy few people
They had applications open for ages and it was easy as fuck to get in. Even my irl friends that watched like 10 anime were able to get in. If you never got an account it's nobodies fault but your own.

>>155914658
>What did he do?
By being the worst of /a/, /r9k/, /lgbt/ and /x/ combined. I'm talking a tranny who is delusional and believe singularity is just around the corner and in our lifetime and hopes for singularity to save him because he refuse to take responsibility for his own life, goes on about lol weed is a wonder drug lmao, muh reality ain't real, massive drama queen who calls everyone who mocks his singularity dream a pessimist even though he's constantly talking about suicide and attempted suicides and throwing hissy fits over people making fun of him on 4chan (mainly /g/'s ptg threads though there's spillovers from /a/ as well).

Basically, take the most pathetic of /a/'s ronery threads and the worst of crazy tranny stereotypes.

>>155914775
>that anime piracy has never been closer to collapse than ever before
>The only real "strongholds" left are nyaa+HS
Not really no. You'll be surprised by how the russians, gooks and chinks are archiving stuff as well.

>>155914775
That's why I hate those idiots who cheer everytime something like this happens, because normalfags get BTFO or bullshit like that.
Any pirating site is good for us just by existing, just by being a possible source in case something happens, that very much includes streaming sites.
We don't have to use them, but the more material is distributed, the better. Minor sites dying, usually due lack of support is one thing, but any major death is dangerous, especially if pressure from content providers is to blame: it gives them victories and makes them look way more powerfull than they are, which might scare others into giving up, too. BakaBT were idiots for going private, considering nyaa exists.
And AB might die tomorrow for some reason, things like that happened, what will those cheering faggots do then?
The more the better, but there have been very few new big piracy groups in the last few years.

>>155914871
There was no reason, because options existed that didn't require application.
It's actually understandable most people never tried.

>>155914883
I look at his post history and the first thing I see is an apology for real life pedofilia. Sheesh. Now I'm scared of inviting people from here. On a side note, do you know if inviting /a/nons is a bannable offense?

>>155914975
>do you know if inviting /a/nons is a bannable offense?
Technically, the rules already said you shouldn't invite through public sites. But traditionally, they don't give a fuck with people flat out saying they've done so. Can't say about now.

>>155915054
Probably better to wait until the BakaBT craze died down.

>>155914932
Pretty much.

With that said though, BBT isn't necessarily going private. The current downtime is mainly them changing servers, presumably to one not in US/some other country that doesn't give a shit.

>>155915108
Hah, no chance in hell.
Because why scare the users like that?
Just take it down for a while, say on twitter you're changing servers because of the reasons and be back within days/a week, and all with little drama.
No, they're real.

No opinion since I can't download off them.

>>155914924
>You'll be surprised by how the russians, gooks and chinks are archiving stuff as well.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that stuff is lost, there will always be people who archive high quality encodes and raw's. The real difficulty is to centralize seeders around a public platform so that everyone profits from it while remaining immune to DCMA and co.

>>155914932
Torrents and especially magnet links make it possible to keep data alive without retaining availability of a single site, which is a huge advantage over traditional online piracy, though as the past has shown us with the first incarnation of the pirate bay, kat.cr etc. that seeders leave non-site bound torrents simply because the community was destroyed.

Small sites can't carry all the weight, and the community surrounding piracy (not just anime) is very centralized, more so as we would wish.

>>155914971
AB is actually medium/high size when it comes to private tracker size. I wouldn't call it a small at all.

>>155914775
xdcc bots have been the same shit for 25 years, what are you even talking about? the only thing is newsgroups died and torrents become the main thing people use.

>>155915308
>xdcc bots have been the same shit for 25 years
Good luck getting anything from bots when they get 1000x the ususal traffic.

>>155915308
xdcc, samba, ddl and other centralized ftp-based piracy options only work with small groups of leachers since costs can easily go out of hand for the hoster.

10+ year ago the amount of people depending on XDCC etc. was so small that this was never an issue.

Basically this >>155915408

>>155915217
That still doesn't mean it's
>has never been closer to collapse than ever before

How many years of enjoying anime do we have left? Amazon and Steam got enough money to kill places like hs or nyaa.

>>155915521
Technically it is, doesn't mean it's imminent.
There's certainly a trend I don't like at all: way too few subbing groups, a major torrent source essentially dying for everyone, streaming sites being more worthless than ever before, direct downloads being dead, AB not having applications and so on.

I used it a little before I got invited into AB, It's useful but you have so many alternative these days so I don't know why everyone is overreacting to them going Private.

>>155914971
Sure, I get why people never bothered applying. But then they shouldn't go around saying shit like
>you can't actually check for yourself whether they tell the truth or not
and trying to paint AB like some super secret hard to get into club when it's not.

>>155915633
>streaming sites
usually I stream two or three episodes to see if it's worth watching, then I download - and back in the day, before I knew about torrents and before I visited /a/, I streamed everything.
And they have become fucking lazy: no updates to BD-releases, even if they're uncensored, over-reliance on one or two players, with videos usually having only one, dead vids everywhere and no one giving a fuck about reports.
Remember animecrazy? They died in 2013.
After megaupload died in 2011 or so they replaced all megaupload-streams within a few days, and they used them for half of their shows. Last streaming site I used for more than getting myself a sample. Such dedication doesn't exist anymore.

>>155915633
There is no technically because your trends are bullshit. There's fewer sub groups because we have more official sources now. Torrent sites come and go, it's nothing new. Illegal stream sites become more worthless because legal streams are more common. Pirates are still ripping from official sources so you're still getting your free shows.

Direct downloads aren't dead, you just don't know where to look for the replacements. AB having no applications is due to their current capacity met. Again, nothing new, they've closed and then open when they are able to increase capacity.

Stop scaremongering, for fuck's sake.

>>155915707
>you have so many alternative these days
No, that's the point.

>>155915773
>trying to paint AB like some super secret hard to get into club when it's not.

>>155915796

>>155914603
>can't be for inactivity
Are you sure? If you don't log in for 10 weeks it's considered inactivity, no matter if you seed or not.

>>155915845
It isn't, really. Mods still turn a blind eye to people asking for invites on public forums as long as you're not being stupid (i.e. use temp email to exchange your real email, wait a while after getting the invite to sign up etc).

>>155915845
Why, thank you.
Time for some hitting, followed by some running!

>>155915707
No you can't. Try and find old anime with good seeds, you won't.

Just because the epik sekrit club you use to measure you e-peen in threads such as these is going down it doesn't mean torrenting is dead.

Instead of relying on fat neets to keep your trackers up, you should like the grown ups and move on to decentralized communities, which won't go down because an idiot was threatened.

>>155916258
>decentralized communities
But I don't know what they are.

>>155913895
You can upload them yourself and get 400 yen for the first 20 screenshots upload to a release.

Before you didn't even need to download and be seeding a series to do so,you could just download something from nyaa or bakabt,take screenshots and proceed to not seed the series but they changed it recently.

You do realize torrent sites getting replaced is nothing new right? Sites don't matter, the content does and as far as public trackers go, PB going down didn't matter. A bunch of other sites sprang up and took its place. It's how it's always been.

But sure, keep being retarded. People who aren't you will keep downloading while you keep spouting stupid shit.

>>155916371

Is there other sites with the older and more obscure stuff that provides incentive to seed?
I do not know much about AB as I have been using BakaBT for many years.
I know BakaBT is not down permanently, however, this brings to light that I should use many different sources and I would also like to contribute making torrents and sharing torrents.
Are there any good websites that talk about creating and sharing torrents?
Like for example if I wanted to download Dr.Slump from BakaBT and then upload that torrent to AB or Nyaa, if there any information on that?

>>155921825
It's probably already on AB. Fucking almost everything is on AB. I'm not even joking.

>>155921862

That's hilarious but shows how little you watch. There's a surprising amount of stuff on Bakabt that isn't available on AB because it was either never uploaded or was uploaded a few years ago but the torrent was automatically pruned because nobody was fucking seeding.

>>155921825
Dr.Slump is already in nyaa.

>>155921908
Well that leads to the question I had asked, if I can download from bakabt then upload to somewhere like AB
>>155921922
I was just using it as an example

>>155921908
I rarely watch anime, you got me.
I mostly read visual novels, and I've recently started reading light novels. I was going by the considerably large collection they have of VNs, though they are still missing quite a bit. I guess the lower amount of works helps in uploading everythin worthy of downloading.
>>155921995
I see little reason as to why you wouldn't be able to. Most of what I've uploaded was from a variety of sources. All you're supposed to do is eliminate any blatant traces of the source you downloaded from.

This is possible with any competent torrent client.
In deluge right click and enable "download in sequential order".

>>155922416
If many people download from XDCC bots at a time, then speed suffers.

>>155922532
It depends on the show. IRC has some things readily available that aren't currently seeded on Nyaa. For example, some things which still have a fansubbed version uploaded (Igano_Kabamaru, Gosenzosama), and some things with R1 DVD rips (Battle Athletes Victory, a fair amount of Exiled-Destiny rips)

There are some other titles though which are currently unseeded without a readily available IRC source though. such as Future Police Urashiman and Plawres Sanshiro

You have to seed your hit and runs for the designated time. You can download a zip file of all your hit and runs I think, or just download them individually.

Pretty sure you can fix your hit and runs in less than a week. Ratio is harder to fix, but you really don't need ratio.

Obviously, but it's about trust, not about sharing publicly as you claimed before.

>>155924335
I guess I'll have to just sit down and seed everything.
Question - do you get any bonus points for the time spent seeding, like on other trackers, or is it just about the sheer amount of gbs you upload?

>>155924583
Currently it's at about 7TB and near completion, with about 150 seasons/movies/OVAs, etc remaining and 1,513 titles included so far.

>>155924676

You'll get yen, which is the bonus points. It's really easy farming yen.

>>155924705

You have to be an absolutely greedy piece of shitto to go to those shitty websites and sell invites. Especially because if you're caught, literally everyone is banned so there's not even a good payoff out of it. And considering the private trackers are probably spying all the time on torrent invite forums it's just a fucking stupid move. /a/nons are just a bunch of weeaboys, they ain't gonna waste their opportunity to access AB.

I have two invites.

>>155924676
It says the longer you seed and the less seeders it has, the more yen you will get. I have a tb of download but only 2gb upload a day. Yen helps because I made 3k and trade it every three days for upload credit.

>>155924796
A large majority of it I haven't watched. To compile the list of titles to add I looked at:

-rankings on ANN, AniDB, MAL (lol), and other sites
-titles by genre
-titles by year
-titles by director and producer
-titles by studio
-various "watch these" thumbnail sheets, like the kind you posted on /r/ recommendation threads
-Various other lists on forums online
-my own knowledge from watching anime

Most anime post-2011 is shit, so a lot of that is lacking. I'm sure I'm missing some older gems too, like Giant Gorg. If anyone has any suggestions of things to add, I'll put them in my 'Anime to DL.txt' file.

>>155918613

I haven't used IRC since I had to use it to get a goddess account.

Really sad considering I downloaded all my anime through XDCC ten years ago.

>>155924796
Not him, but I did something similar back in 2012-2013 with a similar assortment, but only recently grabbed Giant Gorg for it since the subs were only finished more recently then when I created the archive.

>>155924885
I suppose I'll probably need to grab an invite somewhere at some point, though I'm hoping that BakaBT ends up being open enough after the dust settles, since my old account was pruned. Not exactly in a rush though, thanks to having most hard to find titles I'm interested in archived.

>>155918937
>You are stealing other people's potential earnings, assholes.

Yes, what's your point? Like I'd watch anime if I had to pay for it.

>>155924976
Part of that is due to the prep time it takes post and after download. The file system is very organized (autism powers ENGAGE).

Each sub-title has a "preview image" which can be browsed to view the titles by image.

Each subtitle also has a "quality info" file, which I'll eventually add to a searchable database.

>>155914305
1080p is just bloat. Very few anime is even made for that resolution so you're just getting an upscale. 720p's the superior option.

Yo senpaitachi, how bout we go 1 for 1. I give you a bakabt invite when the sites up, and you give me one to AB?

>>155925337
And on the file System organization, each main Title gets it's own folder (ex. Sailor Moon). Each subtitle (ex. Sailor Moon Sailor Stars) then gets a subfolder. Each subfolder gets a preview image and qaulity info file.

The preview images are named the same title as the subtile, as are the qaulity info files.

On the root of each drive a "Catalogue" folder exists, with an "Info Files" folder, containing all info file .txt files. Also a "Preview Image" folder, containing all preview images. Titles with multiple subtitles that do not start with the main title (ex. 'Turn A Gundam.jpg') are renamed in this folder to have the main title before the subtitle (ex 'Gundam - Turn A Gundam.jpg') to allow the preview images to be browsed alphabetically by main title.

There is also a 'File List.PDF' which is basically a 'find' command pulling the file list in 'main title---subtitle' format, allowing all titles to be viewed via text. This is what the pastebins I posted are.

The above exist individually for Anime, Hentai, Manga, and Live Action.

The Conan vs Lupin movie is an example of that. For these rare instance, I put the video files in one main title's folder (ex. Conan), along with the "quality info.txt" file and preview image. In the other main title's folder (ex. Lupin), I simply put the preview image and "quality info" file but no actual video files.

This may cause someone to have to switch disks to actually play the video file (ex. Lupin is on disk 3, while Conan is on disk 1), but as far as browsing the series goes (whether that be through the pdf file list, preview images, etc.), the experience is unaffected and everything still stays in easy to browse main title---subtitle alphabetical arrangement.

I say "switch disks" as the collection is all stored on external hard drives (with backups) for easy portability and sharing with peers.

WD My Passports, each in a different color, for easy identification, housed in a waterproof Pelican case.

That is pretty cool actually. How long have you been working on it? What do you use to manage organization? How much do you download a month?

Roll.

>>155926841
The organization is all manually done, except for ensuring the data on the main and backup disks stays the same. For that I use Beyond Compare.

I started in fall of 2013. Working on it was my way of coping with the breakup of a long term GF who I had lived in multiple states with and my way of hiding from the world due to too much social anxiety from too much weed (had recently moved to the W Coast at that point).

A large majority of the work (about 1,100 titles) added over 2013-2014. The remaining titles were added over the 2015-2017 range, but I slowed down a lot on it then, as I moved onto other things. I still work on it now and then and probably will have it done by the end of the year.

And yet those people seem to be able to at least make e-friends easy, something that seem thoroughly impossible to me.

>>155927390
You and me both bro. I'm sure lots of other faggots out there are like us.

>>155927390
Who needs friends when you have /a/?
I went a week without talking to anyone outside of work even on the internet. I made one blog post on /a/ and everything was fine then.

>>155927137
So you browse /a/ huh

Yeah, but the point of the collection isn't to download every title possible. 95% of anime is not worth watching. Rather, the point is to have a collection of the best and essential titles of various time periods, genres, studios, directors, animators, themes, etc..

Of course "best" is completely up to opinion, but that's why I tried to be very comprehensive in creating my list of what to download. Here is a small sample of some of what I used to build the download list:

-Various favorite studios and directors
-http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5655
-Terrible anime
-http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5317 //manga list & "Interesting Shorts" (non-anime) thread, anime already done
-Directors: [Kojima, Masayuki], [Kobayashi Osamu (Beck)]
-Creator: [Matsumoto Leiji (999)], [Fukumoto Nobuyuki (Kaiji)], [Ootomo Katsuhiro (Akira)], [Narita Ryougo (DRR!!, Baccano)], [Hiroe Rei (Black Lagoon)]

Pretty false.

Why not sit down and watch stuff before putting in on?

>>155927689
There are a bunch of "Top x" ANN articles also I think that could help you.

>>155924502
When did you snatch Now and Then, Here and There? If it was a while ago you should probably switch to my encode (kuchikirukia). Same for Texhnolyze.
Kite you should have Dogway or mine.

Keep an eye out for Crest of the Stars S1. It should be done in a day or so and is a pretty decent improvement over KAA.

I'll put them on the "Anime to DL.txt" list then

>>155927604
Not that often. I don't really talk about what I watch, I just watch it.

How's my ratio 150kb/s internet download and only 50kb/s upload.

I have an idea. What if everyone just uploaded their old anime to goddess?
