/a/ - Animu & Mango★

>>769677

Sorry, but can't you read? That happens when there's too many applications pending in the queue. Soon it reopens.

>>769673 (OP)

YES YES, I've gotten sick of bakabt and licensing, And scrounging the open net for torrents is suffering.

Accept my application AB! as soon as they aren't pending anymore

>>769683

Yes, and VNs

>>769683

I can't believe bakabt still doesn't allow licensed stuff even after they've become private. What was the point of that, then?

>>769686

They don't want the popo shutting them down. They've had some bad experiences in the past.

>temporarily closed

i bet by the time they open again it will be 3 am where i live

>>769683

Its a way more complete package, you can find licensed stuff, art books, vns, live action (I don't know how good that collection is though), music. 9/10 times you'll find what you want there, obscure 80s stuff, VN tls long after the translation team dried up into dust. Its really amazing, I don't think there's anything like it.

I would have tried to apply, but I can't seed regularly so I'll pass this time.

I can only torrent one or two episodes at a time when the network admin isn't paying attention, or he gets mad at me for "inviting every hacker on the internet onto our network", and since seeding is a longer-term thing I can't do it reliably.

>>769715

This kind of stuff is why I'm glad I life off of welfare instead of my parents.

>What's a bittorrent

>You hackin' again?

Keep in mind my father's idea of hacking is the one time he caught me playing nethack on a green screen.

>>769715

Whats the definition of your admin's inviting every hacker on the internet? How would one arrive at that conclusion? Seeing your bandwidth usage. port connections, ip connections?

>Animebytes

A private tracker would be nice but I don't have upload speed to seed anything.

>>769723

What if the admin is just appalled by anons taste and bullies him for it?

>>769729

I'm going to download some random epub/pdf/whatever that's popular and hope I can get some nice yen from it.

>>769729

Upload speed really isn't an issue, since AB's economy is super easy compared to most private trackers (like BBT, now that it's private). Just leaving a decent number of things seeding will earn enough credit to download, all 1080p is freeleech so there's not many huge things that will eat ratio, and the ratio requirement is very low (0.2).

>>769733

>ratio requirement is very low (0.2)

I figured they would ask for more than that. If the application opens again then I might try to get in then.

>>769733

> very low (0.2).

>my current ratio: 0.16

That sounds reachable. I guess its worth a shot. Do they have lewds?

>>769684

Is it just translated stuff?

>>769733

My upload speed is 1/12th of my download speed. When you factor in random overhead and speed drops, my calculations say I'll be able to download something every 16 quintillion years.

Seems like a tracker I can use.

>>769730

Well, that might be part of it, since he complains that I waste bandwidth on a plan with no download cap on "foreign garbage".

>>769733

>the ratio requirement is very low (0.2).

Oh, even I manage more than that. Admittedly that's mostly from episodes downloaded right after they air rather than seeding completed stuff, but still.

In my living circumstances I have to use a hotspot to view my anime. Would seeding with my hotspot cause problems?

Guess I'll give it a shot if applications open up again. Been missing out on easy access to things since bakabt clammed up.

Back open.

>>769760

Closed.

I'm already on it. It's pretty good while waiting to gather 2500 points on ADC.

>took so long filling out the form they closed it again

motherfucker

>>769767

>is there anyway you can go back and resubmit?

I don't know this is my first attempt.

But I can always reroll life, as long as I'm reborn on the side of history with anime.

>>769776

It was nice knowing you anon.

>>769773

>Try out 4g, because 'ids da bess t. salesman'

Love it.

>>769779

Check this out: I used to pay up the ass for a lousy 80mb/s (advertised**) connection in Canada. It was actually more like 50. Now I live in buttfuck-nowhere Eastern Europe and am getting 80mb/s download for next to nothing. As soon as these lazy fucks get off holidays, they're upgrading it to 300mb/s for something like $30 a month. And that's because they force you to pay for cable along with your internet.

>>769783

Oh, woe is you, 50 megabits.

>6 megabit down, advertised

>1 megabit up

>$250/mo

>in practice drops to 1 megabit between 5 and 12 in the evening, with 200 ping

Now that's Canadian internet.

>>769787

Jesus, man, what hellhole do you live in?

>>769787

How is this shit legal? The answer is "Canada.", right?

I'm barely able to seed AB torrents, maybe it's just me. And it's not my internet because torrents from public trackers I can seed just fine, but for AB I seed torrents for months and I barely upload anything. I think there's too many people uploading so I don't get the chance since my connection isn't the best.

Is it possible to get rejected based on your answers to questions 2 through 5? Aside from shit answers, will they reject you based on anime preferences/not talking to them in IRC/your knowledge of torrent terms/etc?

>>769789

Ontario. And not even Northern Ontario; I live within a couple hours' drive of no less than five cities with population over half a million. I live 25 minutes from a university.

>>769790

I'll keep it short for rule 9. Toronto and Ottawa together have enough population that their votes outweigh the rest of the province, so as long as the provincial government promises to benefit them they will always get reelected. Why subsidize infrastructure elsewhere? Or if you do, and the companies you paid instead use the money to upgrade Toronto yet again, why bother getting mad at them? A decade or so ago the government spent over a billion dollars to not build a power plant in an important Toronto riding, then when they started getting investigated they accidentally wiped the computer with the files on it. The minister responsible was elected to be the province's Premier after the cost of the cancellation came to light.

Technically what I have isn't even classified as "high speed internet"

>>769792

I would hope that the anime preferences and torrent term questions are just to make sure you're both human and know what you're even applying for. I could imagine the IRC/forum thing causing a rejection depending on the tracker, but hopefully this one isn't too cliquey and it won't make a difference as long as you're reasonable.

>>769794

>Technically what I have isn't even classified as "high speed internet"

I should clarify, the CRTC considers high speed internet a "basic service" that all homes should have the possibility of getting, given its importance these days. The theoretical minimum they set is 50Mb/s up, 10 down.

>>769792

I don't think so.

I even messed up the definition of ratio, yet I passed. My impression is that they just want long and fleshed out answers, it doesn't matter if you have shit taste.

>>769792

I'd think that they mostly want to make sure people are applying out of interest and not malicious intent, and that they can understand and articulate things at at least a basic level, to keep out shitters who can't even string a coherent sentence together.

>>769798

Awesome, so it's like 8/a/ - private tracker edition.

>>769798

I do hope that's their reason for it and there's not a dishonest reason for those questions.

>>769795

Seriously? I have never seen speeds that fast anywhere my entire life until the past year where I've moved to Winnipeg.

>>769813

I'm glad I'm not the only one autistic enough to have done this.

>>769753

>invite only

>need ration on other popular tracker

Sekret clubs everywhere.

>>769838

Every time I end up downloading something and it has hardsubs I rationalize it by telling myself it's nostalgic. It helps a little.

>>769815

>>769813

Be careful when you paste it, a lot of people were complaining that the text would get cut on the IRC and it would end up sending half your answer.

Any second now.

>>769868

>IRC application

Fuck. Guess I need to re-install it.

>>769878

The way things are going I think am going to have to quit watching anime. I just wanted to download my shows I'm not smart enough or have the energy for irc seedboxes and all this other crap. Should of made a bbt account when I had the chance.

>>769813

M-me too. They reopened.

>>769888

It's back open. No IRC needed. Just text boxes on a screen. What >>769868 is true though and the text doesn't automatically wrap and you have to hit enter to put text onto a new line so it doesn't get cut off.

Sent mine in! They changed and added some new questions.

Is it an issue if you've never used a private tracker before? The way the first question is worded almost implies it's necessary.

Honestly the whole questionnaire feels retarded. Feels like I'm back in high school bullshitting answers. I'm struggling to even explain why I like my favourite anime.

>>769895

My application got accepted immediately. I have never used a private tracker before either.

>>769895

I'm sure it's definetly seen as a bonus if you have previous experience. Although as long as you are not retarded and know how private trackers work, it should work out in your favor.

Just put your autism to good use for fuck's sake anon.

>>769895

I think it's mainly to stop people/scripts just throwing in applications by pressing a button.

I just read that you can't use a VPN while applying. RIP my application.

>How and where did you find out about us?

I am tempt to just put in "googling "super sekret animu club""

>>769915

>wake up

>refresh

>it's open

>submit

>it goes through

Jesus blesses those who wake up early.

>>769897

>My application got accepted immediately

That's amazing anon, mine is saying 1-3 days for review.

>>769966

The rabbit really came through for me this month.

>Late at night.

>It's open.

>Spend an hour typing out my answer (in bed, on phone).

>Submit

>"We're sorry, the email you used in not accepted."

>All my answers gone.

Well fuck you too. My main email is hotmail.

>>770064

Welp, good to know. You just helped me not get fucked. Gotta remember my gmail now though..

>>770079

What about protonmail? They may be mountainjews, but surely a step up from guuguru.

>Applications from your IP are not allowed, sorry!

>Proxies and VPNs are not allowed to apply with.

Well, that's a pain in the ass for no good reason.

>>770082

Fuck, really? Where are you from? Now I'm worried I won't get accepted just because of where I am even though I have good ratios in my other private tracker accounts I was going to use in my submission.

>>770091

I'm using a VPN because my government are a gaggle of cunts. I can disable it, but it's a bit annoying because blocking VPNs doesn't really add any security to the site.

>>770092

This.

I barely use the site anymore because I can't be bothered to switch stuff off/on every time.

>>770093

Do they require you to use a clearnet connection every time you visit the site too? I thought it was just for registration.

>>770096

>Do they require you to use a clearnet connection every time you visit the site too?

Yes.

>>770097

Well, fuck that bullshit. I'd rather support public trackers, even if it means losing out on a bit of content.

It's their loss too, since I tend to seed far more than I leech.

>>770079

Protonmail gets accepted everywhere.

>>770097

I wonder what reason they have behind it. Even RED allows VPNs, provided that you give them all the information ahead of time.

>>770123

>NAS

Man, I need to get me one of those. Having all my data scattered across a small pile of HDDs is suffering.

Could you also tell me if the confirmation email has a certain expiry date? Like "You have to confirm your new account in three days or it's cancelled." sort of thing? I'm going to be away from home for a week and wonder what to expect.

>>770092

They're blocking VPNs to make sure nobody is sharing an account. Which is still rather dumb, it's not like they have anything to lose from a shared account so long as it's following the site rules. I forgot about that rule and used a fairly popular VPN service for like 2 years before I got caught for it though, so they don't monitor it much apparently.

However, you can use a private VPN if you notify them ahead of time.

>>770096

You need a clearnet for using the site, but your torrents can go through anything, so your actual content upload/download doesn't have to be clearnet.

>>770126

Yeah there's a 3 day confirmation.

>>770153

Use an extension like >>769694 or you will miss it for sure. The window is way smaller than an hour.

>>770103

>public trackers

There does not appear to be anything stopping people from downloading the AB content then resharing on a public tracker.

>>770097

Well, I guess my application is getting denied then.

It was open when I refreshed just now. I was annoyed to find some questions changed, so instead of pasting I had to actually edit and separate some things.

>questions claim to be optional

>won't let you submit without filling them in

Goddamnit, I didn't make answers for these.

>>770218

Just say they aren't applicable, that's what I did for the one about the online anime list.

If anyone is worried about VPN, don't be. I applied under a VPN and got accepted.

>>770220

>>770219

Probably should of did that then. I doubt they'd appreciate my half assed answers. From experience from these types of things, the people reviewing them are more looking for reasons to disqualify you than approve, so the less you write the better.

Will saying i learned about the site from the imageboard 8chan get me disqualified?

>>770225

Just leave it at imageboard if you're worried about it.

>>770224

I just wrote down for the current anime the one's that I enjoyed and why I like them. For the sites you use for keeping an online record I put down that I didn't use any sites to keep a record of anime I watched.

Answering all these questions feels like a homework in Chinese cartoon studies.

I've never actually thought about why I liked a certain series enough to fill in more than one sentence.

Well seems I didn't get approved though you can reapply if you can improved your answer but you must use the same email as before. Time to rework my answers.

>>770226

I tried this but I'm willing to assume that they want to know the websites that people are coming from to have a general idea of the influx of users.

>>770233

I used imageboard and got approved fine.

>>770234

Applications closed again and my responses were deleted so I couldn't even copy and save them for later.

>imageboard

The reason why I would be a little weary about answering that with this is because of stuff like /ptg/ which can get you banned from private trackers if they know you post there.

>>770235

That makes sense. I would honestly be surprised if saying you came from 8ch would get you banned. I'm sure the majority of users on AB are from imageboards of one kind or another.

>>770236

I don't think it would, the reason the /ptg/ drama happened is because there were users giving out invites to people they didn't know.

>>770235

Not that anon, but I just said I heard from imageboards about the sites and got approved as well. I wanted to leave it as general as possible.

>>770234

I think what mostly got me was explaining my favorite anime/manga series more than anything else. I have a hard time expressing my self on these kinds of questions and they probably expected something more out of my answer.

>>770240

I know what you mean. Normally it's "I like it because I like it," without putting much, if any, thought into why. Thankfully the answer I gave must have been sufficient.

>>770243

Yes.

>>769673 (OP)

I just spent an hour filling out the application only to get stuck with the "temporarily closed" message.

Fuck it, I'll continue dealing with public trackers.

>>770245

>>770245

Just have it typed out prior so you can paste into the answers straight away.

Missed the last submission entry, so I decided to retype out all of my answers into a text file. I additionally setup a script which periodically checks the page to see if it's still closed and if not plays a really loud and fast pace song.

>>770255

Should be there straight away.

Do they allow loli porn? I know their forums are very Christian.

>>770222

Then you were lucky. Official policy is to block VPNs.

>>770258

I'd like an answer to this too.

>>770261

>>770258

Of course they allow loli.

I just avoid the forums entirely, I don't want to expose an unpopular opinion and get someone who is friends with a moderator mad and get in trouble. Also the most of the staff have shit taste, just check their profiles.

>>770237

I think that will stop happening. Several rules changed a few months ago, and not only it's harder now to obtain invites than before, if the person you gave an invite to fucks up and gets banned you get banned too.

>>770261

>Then you were lucky

Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and not asked permission to browse AB with a VPN on if they hadn't realised.

>>770270

Wow, I have never seen such an involved sign up for a dl site before... ever. What do they do with the info?

I take it domestic means 'Murrica right?

>>770288

They use it to weed out people to keep their secret club elusive.

Domestic means like your real ip as opposed to a vpn / tor / whatever.

>>770286

My guess is that it's easier to regulate the users and manage sharing accounts or accessing from other countries. Or my more farfetched guess is that they have to deal with piracy laws and are data mining static IPs in exchange of keeping the operation afloat.

Regarding VPNs from their rule section:

>Browsing the website using Tor or an unapproved proxy/VPN (including paid ones) is prohibited. If you would like to use a VPN for browsing get it approved via Staff PM beforehand. Only VPNs with unshared AND static IP will be considered. Transversely, torrenting via VPN is not only allowed but also recommended.

>>770298

>Download personalised torrent in clearnet

>Immediately link it to your VPN when downloading via client

Not suspect at all.

>>770310

Why on earth would you tell them if you're a virgin or not?

>>770331

Good luck!

Just got in about 5 hours after I sent in my application.

IT'S OPEN, I just sent mine, >>770331 how'd you set up notifications for this?

>>770336

I wrote a script for FISH (It's a shell for GNU/Linux). Every 5 minutes it checks the application page and if applications are open it plays a file with mpv.

clear; while true
    if not curl -s https://animebytes.tv/register/apply | grep -qo we reached limit
        echo APPLICATIONS OPENED
        mpv pathtoasonghere
        break
    else
        echo (date) APPLICATIONS CLOSED
        sleep 300
    end
end

>>770338

I hope your song was let the bodies hit the floor.

>>770341

What email address got you rejected? My waifu.club address got accepted.

>>770341

>>770342

>>770343

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Hotmail and outlook are no go so far, but gmail is okay?

They always open it just after I go to sleep or work, I missed it by an hour multiple times now. I don't even care anymore.

>>770346

It's open right now?

>>770345

After a quick searx, it looks like hotmail / outlook's email servers sometimes block email messages where they don't even go into spam which means that the staff have to spend extra time trying to get it to work.

What's with all of these "undisclosed perks and responsibilities" in the user classes wiki page?

>>770345

>not using cock.li

Got VPN approval for multiple IP's. Nice.

>>770347

>It's open right now???

Well, I've been at work for 2 hours and not leaving until another 3. It's gonna close by the time I get home, and I bet they'll re-open it as I go to sleep again.

>>770377

Did they really change the admission process that much?

>>770439

No, it was a pain back then too. They did leave it open for more than 20 minutes at a time though.

>>770451

Think it has less to do with time and more to do with their queue getting filed up more quickly now than before.

>>769733

I just got in.

Jesus christ even those HUEG lossless 1080p bluray copies are freeleech.

Did anyone got rejected so far? Just asking.

>>770451

Don't they close it after 10 submissions regardless of the amount of time it is up?

>>770483

>10 submissions

That's a pretty small pool. I wonder how many more people they want to bring into the sekrit club.

It's open, just sent mine

>>770493

It's not open for me. Anyone else can confirm if it's open or closed or what's going on?

>>770493

That's what I heard from anon's, I am not sure of the number myself. But I think it is 10 submissions, then they review then, then open submissions back up again. Also is anyone else having trouble using qbittorrent to download off of AB?

>>770498

qB is working just fine for me. Check your version against the whitelist. The only file I had trouble with was my Urusei Yatsura folder which didn't want to check against the new torrent.

>>770498

I also use qb and i'm having no problems. Check the version you are using in the Whitelist.

>>770498

"I heard it from someone" doesn't actually mean dick fuck all and there is no reason for you to think anything without evidence.

>>770509

>almost two hours

I think some of you are trying too hard with this. I spent 30 minutes max pre-typing my answer out and got accepted fine.

I was denied because of my answer to question number three, the one about anime that you have watched recently. I am not sure what I did wrong, I went over the last three anime that I watched. I think it might have been because I did it in paragraph form, on my next try I'm going to make it a list and then a short description for each.

>>770519

Wow, what a bunch of rotten dicks. What animey did you choose?

>>770519

Anon... changing the formatting won't change your shit tastes.

>>770509

>have never tried this hard on an application even for employment purposes

/a/ in a nutshell

>>770519

I got in by just saying I was watching Konohana Kitan and Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryouko and that I like them, so I don't think it was your formatting, maybe they were just being dicks.

>>770522

I said I was in the process of watching Yuru Yuri season three and had finish watching Ousama Game (which I pointed out was bad) and Net-juu No Susume (which I liked).

>>770525

Maybe I was just unlucky with the reviewer.

>>770529

I got my review written in my notepad and I also say I watched ousama game in it and it's bad. Maybe the reviewer is one of the retards who actually like it?

>>770519

>>770529

I have no idea how the hell I got in.

>>770519

I just listed what I was watching this season and said it was enjoyable but nothing amazing. I think they might be getting sick of applications at this point.

Applications are back open if you missed it / were rejected.

>>770158

There isn't. Hopefully people do that.

It's just a shame that torrent clients don't have a "private tracker mode" in which they share the torrent via DHT but track bandwidth statistics separately for DHT and the private trackers. If that was an option it would make it much easier to get people to share private torrents on public trackers.

AHHH. I was writing up my answers and missed it again. Really nervous I'm going to miss it for good.

>>770558

They raised their user limit by 3,000, since it is 18,000 now, from what I have found off those torrent tracker sites. So chances are if you are just patient and wait with your answers ready you should be able to get in.

Are the short windows just a way of filtering out people who aren't dedicated enough to keep on top of when it opens and have answers prepared beforehand?

>>770562

I think it's so they don't get hundreds or thousands of applications at a time to make it somewhat easier to approve or deny.

>>770562

It's probably a mix between trying to not have to resolve too many applications at once and not accepting more applications than slots you have left.

How long do the temporary closings usually last? I'm wondering if I should stay up later than usual to make sure I get in.

>>770612

The last one was like 30-40 minutes.

>>770525

I got denied having written much the same, same shows in fact. I assume they have multiple people reviewing applications, and that they aren't working off uniform standards. Fuck them then, I ain't going to write a five page essay.

>>770638

> I ain't going to write a five page essay

There is absolutely no need to. I just listed what I'm watching this season and said something along the lines of this Blend S and Imouto are the shows I'm enjoying most and overall this season is pretty decent but nothing amazing.

>>770562

I wrote a bunch of 1 sentence answers plus keep it generic/ambiguous as much as possible and got in fine.

>>770664

Filtering from 1960s to 1980s gives 2109 results.

>>770673

Try hitting "enter" after, too. If that doesn't work then yeah - you fucked up.

>>770559

>having only one main email

>it's hotmail

>current year

Really, what's wrong with you people?

>>770706

While everyone who uses AB is autistic to some degree I think they're trying to keep the mega autists out.

>>770707

If anything they want the mega autists.

The kind of guys who will get a 15 seed ratio then brag about it on the forums, that's what private trackers need.

>>770708

By the replies in this thread the mega autists have been denied.

>>770706

Or maybe it goes like:

>Anon writes an autistic essay in the application form

>Staff member recieves it for review

>"Ah fuck I dont want to read all of this shit."

>Denies application

I was accepted within 5 minutes of my application submission and I didnt spend too much time on questions. 2 or 3 sentences at max. I didnt know it would be this hard for everyone else.

Thanks again for the good luck Tewi.

>>770707

I was afraid I was being really autistic in my application, but I still managed to get in. I even hit the character limit for some of the questions.

>>770715

The ones that I wrote the most for were the favorite anime and currently watching questions. Even then, I only wrote about a paragraph. If anons are getting in that are writing large amounts of text or just barely writing anything at all then the ones reviewing these applications seem to have wildly different expectations.

I missed by an hour again when I went to sleep, I went to nap a little today and now woke up just in time to sent my application.

I hit the character limit on recent watches but only talked about this season, hope it gets accepted.

The torrent client question made me think, what do you guys use? I've been using utorrent 2.2.1 for years, the one without ads. But if there's any better I'd rather change honestly.

>>770727

qBittorrent is what most people switched to. The 4.0 branch is still unstable from what I hear, so you might want to stay on version 3.3.x for the time being.

>>770727

qbittorrent.

It's basically a straight upgrade from utorrent and looks almost exactly the same.

>>770727

I've been using an old version of deluge, almost 2 years old. I mentioned that in my application, I hope that doesn't kill me.

>>770730

>>770732

>>770732

Qbittorrent is an horribly bloated bugfest. Among the big problems:

- depends on the buggy libtorrent-rasterbar that depends on the buggy boost

- depends on Qt even when compiled withotu GUI

- no client/daemon architecture

- 2600 open issues on the github (the most I've actually seen)

- development focused on features, not on stability

If I was forced to use Windows, I'd use Transmission-qt.

Most of what you're saying sounds like nitpicking. I can't imagine someone who's used utorrent up until today caring about something like dependencies or architecture, and caring about the number of bugs something has in the abstract instead of whether it functions well for your purposes is pure autism.

>>770758

Not that anon, but I've used Qbittorent before and when it ran out of HDD space it threw itself into an I/O error loop and basically froze my machine sending out error messages. Pretty amateurish.

>>770707

>>770709

Joke's on you buddy; I wrote a mega autist essay and was accepted when I awoke in the morning.

>>770715

I ran into the same issue on the favorite anime/currently watching sections.

>>770727

There is absolutely no reason why anyone would still use any version of utorrent.

I've been using Deluge for the past two years and it has been working very well.

>>770761

See, that would be an example of a specific bug that actually matters. I do remember that it had some I/O bug when I first tried it years ago, although not nearly as bad as what you're describing. Since the version I'm using now doesn't do that, I don't see how it matters for either my use or for recommending it to others.

I just tried transmission and a bunch of torrents that I was seeding but I thought nobody was leeching started seeding.

The only issue I have so far is that it picked my native language as default but the translation is incomplete and shit, and I can't figure out how to put it in english.

>>770737

Just name every elitist thing you've done in the last 6 months. Dropped Jojo, finished your semi-annual SEL rewatch, have autistic opinions on iM@S branches, all that shit goes in there.

>>770829

They accepted me and some of my statements were just wrong.

I was on bad sleep and I said something along the lines of "90s trend of making an anime about a party straight out of a mmorpg", even though when most of those animes were made mmorpgs didn't exist and they were really based on tolkien/dungeons and dragons.

>>770839

In my first attempt I wrote a lot and it didn't go through. Now in my second attempt I wrote a lot less.

I think being accepted or not isn't related to anything relevant, I think it's pure luck.

>>770845

There are suggestions dealing with this very thing in the wiki, anon.

>>770839

Rough, I went in being a snarky dick when I wasn't clear enough on something and still got in years ago.

>>770845

I downloaded 50GBs of freeleech.

I'm going to hell.

>>770845

Something becomes hit and run only if you don't seed it for a specific duration. Just take your time and download freeleech.

>>770845

If you downloaded freeleech you only need to seed those torrents for three days, regardless of whether anyone leeches them or not. If they weren't freeleech and your ratio is now fucked, then you're a god damned idiot and I recommend you download and seed currently airing stuff, since it's always freeleech and many people will be leeching it.

>>770845

You will never be banned for having a low ratio. You dpwnlpading privileges will be taken away though if your ratio goes below 0.2 but that doesnt tak away your acess to the site which means you can still seed and build your ratio back up.

In order for things to not mark you as hit and run it is required for you to seed torrents you download more than 10% of for 72 hours.

I had given up but managed to get in, and it was really worth it in the end.

I have been trying to download the same 2013 show with 0 seeders on best torrent for weeks stuck at %85 with about 3 leechers. And this site has a better quality freeleech version of it with like 40 seeders among others quality/sub versions. All the old VNs I haven't been able to find raw with seeders are here too.

If anyone hasn't got in yet try harder, looks like there's about space left for 1300 people but they might close it before that to allow space for invites.

>>770839

What did you even write? I only talked about this season for recent watches and 2 for favorite. I put Hyouge mono for my favorite too, your pic related. I was going to write LoGH but since I don't know the what politics the reviewer has I refrained, though according to stats LoGH is pretty popular on AB so it wouldn't have been a problem.

Just write honestly to show you know your shit without sounding like a tumblrweeb and there probably won't be a problem.

Still waiting for this shit to open back up. Everyone says they get accepted right after they send the application, but then it stays closed for 10+ hours. What gives?

>>770930

I got accepted after a day, I think it just depends.

>>770930

>everyone

I'm pretty sure that's actually one or two guys.

10+ hours sounds about right.

>>770928

Yo I put my two "favorite" anime as Love Hina (shit taste) and K-On! (generic, might as well write Cowboy Bebop) because they were baby's first animu for me at two different points in my life and basically put me on the road to becoming a total weebshit. Now I was thinking that picking two favorite anime is ridiculous, so I just wrote passionately about two shows that had a major impact on me. The point is how shit my choices were and I got accepted anyway.

I did make up for it by laying it down heavy when it came to seasonal shit.

.>>770989

I mentioned Kaiji too, along with Chihayafuru and Tesagure. I also sperged out about denpa songs and some doujin circles no one's ever heard of, but I got in. It really makes me wonder what they're even looking for.

>>770983

Nice, I finally got mine in too. Hope we both get accepted

>>770989

>>770992

Weird, I also mentioned Kaiji as a favorite. Maybe one of the people screening these is a big Kaiji fan, and I'll get in easy. Fingers crossed.

I got in with what is essentially "I don't actually listen to a lot of Japanese music outside of the occasional Touhou remix and that I don't know who composed what since I just look at whether or not I like what I'm hearing" written in my application.

>>771041

That's what I did with Love Live since they are just using the HS torrent.

https://animebytes.tv/forums.php?action=viewthread&threadid=471 for maximum disgust. Just torrent and forget the "community".

>>771079

Care to elaborate for those of us not in the secret club yet?

Seems to be the most related thread on the board so far. I've been looking for any news on the whole battle between nyaa.pantsu and nyaa.si. There seems to be a lot of current airing shows missing from pantsu, starting somewhere around Dec 22nd. I'm wondering if anything happened with sub groups that made them stop posting onto pantsu. Anyone know what's going on?

>>771126

I just use shanaproject, I'm pretty sure it searches both.

Hey, will I get an email when I'm accepted/rejected, or do I have to keep checking my status on that page of theirs? I'm wondering cause I want to turn my VPN back on to do some shit but they don't want you going to their site with one on.

>>771134

You will get an email for acception, but not rejection.

How long does it typically take to get a response. I've been waiting almost 24 freaking hours.

>>771194

Mine took about 24 hours.

I autistically counted them.

>>771126

I thought pantsu just ripped the torrents from Nyaa.si if they didn't have it.

I miss it every time.
