GangsterCat said: those pirate hunters' life must be so sad that they are doing their best to stop people from having fun Especially considering bakaBT was mainly an anime archive for old stuff. This isn't going to help the anime industry earn a single cent. Nobody is going to track down old DVDs of 20 year old shows for fuck sake. |

Lord_Lamington said: It's a virtual certainty that bootleg streaming sites like Kiss got their original videos for older shows from BBT, since it was generally the most convenient or only source to download those titles. So users of those sites have indirectly benefited from BBT, even if they haven't actually been there or used the tracker.I've never used it before so it doesn't really bother me |

Get used to this kinda thing. It's hard to believe because it's lasted so long, but we're still in the Wild West days of the internet. There is A LOT of $ being spent pressuring the law makers and in R&D on how to automate take-downs. You don't think The Sony/Funimation/Lantis/etc. etc. of the world don't know about nyaa? They do, and they will take them down eventually. I don't know what form it will take, but I do know this wont last forever. Someone will pass some law and then combined with a breakthrough in quantum computing or some shit, there wont be any illegal media sites to be found. This will probably be 10+ years down the road but it will for sure happen in our lifetimes. Pirates will have to make due with the dark web or IRC more exotic p2p-type services unless they can innovate, which they haven't in quite some time. |

This ruins the availability of old anime forever. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the worst thing that has ever happened to the western anime community and also me personally in regards to anime. There will be hundreds of titles now that I'll never be able to watch. This might honestly make me lose the motivation to keep up with anime in general... I'm literally depressed right now. |

@Pullman You can still get a lot of old and obscure anime via IRC, can't you? Any fansubbing group that's still alive (and even some that are inactive, I'd think) usually keeps all of their releases available via an IRC bot, which is honestly easier than torrenting anyway. For the rest, if this really does end up remaining permanent with BakaBT (there's still a possibility they could remain public under a different host, or that their seeding policies may change for members if they remain private) then the community will adjust slowly. Namely, older titles are likely to start getting seeded more on Nyaa or some alternative site... although for the most obscure stuff I guess even that is small hope. I do agree that this is a pretty big hit to the community that serves no purpose. BakaBT was basically legit (or at least as legit as possible) in my eyes since, as you said, most of their stuff was old and unlicensed, and they took down anything they received copyright violation claims over. |

There isn't even any legal alternative that would profit from this harassment. It's just out of spite. Literally the worst day. My internet also sucks but I've managed to build up 30 GB upload. Should you get back in, basically just download freeleech and seed that. Assuming nothing changes, you have a 25 GB buffer of things you can leech before you get warned. Just keep below specifically 25 GB download until you've amassed up to 10 GB upload. For 3 months I've UTW's Fate/Zero, Kametsu's UBW and Some-Stuffs' JoJo 2012 and 2014 to get this ratio (with a little help from some soundtracks I picked up along the way, but literally 95% of that upload is from 3 months of those 4 shows). A lot of old shows aren't gonna be freeleech due to a lack of 1080p but anything you can find in 1080p that you want, grab because it'll be freeleech. If the 25GB buffer doesn't last until you have at least 10GB of upload, I'm fairly sure they make the entire site freeleech for a few days during the winter holidays. The key thing is stay below the 25GB buffer so you don't get warned so that you can continue grabbing freeleech. Either way, they always advertised using the public tracker anonymously to leech and then seed those files with your account so I'll imagine they'll put in place a similar system for fixing ratios of newcomers (unless they expect newcomers that get into a private tracker to not fuck up their ratios). At any rate, I believe I once heard you can download their files through IRC so that's also an option. Side note: Does anyone know if you need permission from release group to upload their (old) stuff on Nyaa? |

Well, yeah if the group is still active you can get stuff via IRC, but that doesn't encompass everything by far. Bakabt had tons of pre-Tezuka stuff, batch torrents for independent animators and so much more. As for IRC being 'easier', I don't see how. I used to just google bakabt# animename and immediate knew if it was available, now I have to scour fansub groups, see whether they are still alive, find out what the right commands for the bots are and that can easily take like 20-30 minutes research just to find out whether a random obscure OVA is even available subbed/still available for download if it is. At BEST this development means that I'll spend 10-20x as much time on locating titles than I used to (it took like 5 seconds). At worst it means certain stuff will be completely unavailable/forgotten by the public. Stuff that already barely has more than 100 viewers on MAL is just unlikely to be re-uploaded anywhere else anytime soon. |

I have this current Vuze since last August and I have 260GB uploaded in total but over 1TB downloaded. But I upload nonstop when my computer is on. I literally can't upload more :/. But yeah I never got into how the bakabt system works in detail. I just know that even outside of bakabt where you find a lot more torrents that need seeders I can't manage to get a decent ratio because of how much media I consume. What you described sounds tricky and I'll try and remember it for when/if I manage to get an account. Because I'll definitely try to get one if it's the only way of accessing bakabt. And if I can make it work despite my slow internet and how much I tend to download that would be ideal. |

Pullman said: I'd have made an account long ago but I know that with my internet speed it is impossible for me to get a good seed/leech ratio. I basically upload all the time but still can't get more than 0.3-0.4 ratio because I also download half the time too just to keep up with my consumption. Hard to make up for it when I can only upload with ~70KB/s Same for me. The system is understandable, but with my internet it was impossible, I actually had my qbit running almost all day, and still didn't manage to maintain the ratio, resulting in a ban. It's a shame. A lot of older stuff is impossible to find outside bakabt. I'm glad I at least managed to download the last Yuusha anime before this happened. I hope this won't be permanent. |

It's even worse when you phrase it like that Pullman. Honestly a private tracker isn't bad as long as it's not like Avistaz were they have a max number of members. As the number of torrents keeps increasing ultimately more and more torrents stop being seeded. What is good with Avistaz though is the bonus system, so even if you have a small connection, the time spent seeding is convertible into ratio. |

How does it feel to have anime you want to watch and is enough know to have a fansubs and torrent? Because damn you're lucky if you have.

Side note: Does anyone know if you need permission from release group to upload their (old) stuff on Nyaa? If 30GB upload was enough to guarantee a good ratio, I wouldn't have a problem. I have this current Vuze since last August and I have 260GB uploaded in total but over 1TB downloaded. But I upload nonstop when my computer is on. I literally can't upload more :/. But yeah I never got into how the bakabt system works in detail. I just know that even outside of bakabt where you find a lot more torrents that need seeders I can't manage to get a decent ratio because of how much media I consume. What you described sounds tricky and I'll try and remember it for when/if I manage to get an account. Because I'll definitely try to get one if it's the only way of accessing bakabt. And if I can make it work despite my slow internet and how much I tend to download that would be ideal. I'll break it down nicer now that I'm actually fully awake and can form coherent sentences (sorta). In BakaBT, you can download up to 25GB absolutely free. Once you meet or exceed them, you'll be warned if you haven't kept up a decent ratio. I believe the ratio is dynamic but the floor is somewhere between 0.3 to 0.5. I for one was unwarned once I got to 0.35-ish. If you're warned, you can't leech anything with your account. They recommended downloading stuff logged off from the public tracker (ie: googling "[Whatever anime] BakaBT" since you can't look shows up with their search function if you're logged out) and then when you finish downloading it, seeding it with your account. To do this on Vuze, you first download the .torrent file logged off from your account, download until it's done, remove it from your library (not from your computer), log in to your account and download the .torrent file for the show you leeched (since it'll use your account's torrent key rather than the anonymous torrent key), set the .torrent to download to the same path and it should open a window that says the files are the same. Hit yes, wait for the recheck to happen and leave that seeding. Without using the public tracker trick, you can accomplish something similar by downloading freeleech torrents and seeding them. What you do is just grab the 1080p version of the show you're interested (should it exist), since all 1080p torrents are freeleech, and seed that. Whatever you leech from a freeleech file will not affect your ratio but whatever you seed from it will. The key is to avoid being warned so that you can do this. That way you have room to download anything that's not freeleech as long as the size isn't more than (however much you've uploaded) x2 [could go up to x3 but I'd try and not go beyond x2]. 1080p torrents, light novels, artbooks and anything below 100 MB (don't remember exact number but that sounds about right) are freeleech to encourage their distribution. I think that they'll also make soundtracks freeleech when the moving is done to make up for the lack of a public tracker and encourage their distribution as well. In fact, the entire way the system was set up was to allow for a cycle of leeching and seeding where you leeched anonymously to allow members to seed, and in turn you'd seed those files to build up a good ratio; with the incentive for building a ratio being (aside from the e-peen) that you'd become a power user after both seeding and leeching 25GB (to encourage some leeching while logged in, as well) and power users get early access to torrents, those making you use up some of that ratio if you wanted the torrents early. It always seemed perfectly engineered to me so I can't imagine they'll let it go. They also had a category called bonus torrents that gave 1 bonus point for every hour you were seeding them (read: just leaving them on "seeding", you'd still get bonus points even if in that hour you uploaded 0 bytes.) with a cap on 10 bonus points per hour. Bonus torrents are those with a small quantity of seeders (exact number dynamic, usually they were bonus torrents if they had 4 seeders or less). Those bonus points could later be redeemed for upload credit. I never really farmed them because torrents were just that well seeded. Usually if I seeded a bonus torrent, it'd stop being a bonus because my +1 seed drove it over the threshold. In the end it's not about keeping a good ratio per torrent, it's about seeding as much as possible. Freeleech torrents may eat up hard drive space but they're free so you can download as much as you want from them. You don't need to seed absolutely everything, don't be afraid of deleting stuff that's just taking up too much space and that not many people are grabbing (or they are but it's so well-seeded that your participation is negligible). You will have to prioritize seeding on BakaBT over seeding on other sites. I seeded an Evangelion torrent on Nyaa only until I got to a good enough ratio rather than indefinitely due to it eating up too much of my upload data. I prioritize seeding anything on BakaBT and seeding weak torrents on Nyaa. tl;dr - play smart, the way BakaBT used to be set up you could pretty much have you cake and eat it too. Now the eating may be slower but it'll still very much be a possibility, between the buffer you'll build up and the yearly sitewide freeleech. If you've seeded 260GB since August, you're in a good shape. People say that it'll be harder to get hit up for seeds now that the public tracker will be gone but if people can download freeleech torrents with no worries, you'll still get a lot of seeding hits on those. In fact, those will likely be the hub of activity. The biggest problem is if there's no 1080p remaster or upscale of what you want. For that, I'd check Nyaa and weigh your options. If it's worth it, use up some of that ratio. If not, wait until you have some more or wait for the sitewide freeleech. Right now although the site is down since they're moving it, the tracker is up. I prefer 720p so that it doesn't take up too much space and since my computer monitor is 768p (I can't easily tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on my TV since that's farther away from me) but I'll download 1080p for seeding and initial watching and replace that with 720p once I'm able to (if I want to, if I don't care enough to archive it I'll just delete it once I need to or if I just wanna keep it at 1080p then I'll leave it alone). On one final note, never count out Nyaa. I've been surprised by what they've had with decent seeds and/or working DDL links. Also, XDCC bots on IRC are a really handy resource. I'm not familiar with what are the best IRC channels for downloading anime but if I remember correctly, I believe BakaBT's IRC has bots you can download from. You'd have to do some research into that, though. |

Until such time when the internet can be fully overseen, and controlled, it's unlikely that piracy will vanish. At all. It'll flourish, perhaps, even.

"among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

I actually had a good ratio at bakabt. Unfortunately I had real life obligations come up(moving across the country etc),and they had pruned my account after a couple of months. I just used the "google bakabt+show" method after that. It's going to suck not to be able to easily find old shows. |

BakaBT updated their twitter. Needless to say all the fear mongering that's been posted here is of course 100% incorrect. Like always seems to be they either had a server fry out on them or the server needed to be moved and had been disconnected in the mean time. Because of the Easter holiday all work was postponed, they expect to be back up and running in the next few days... With Luck. https://twitter.com/BakaBT/status/854061578622205953 https://twitter.com/BakaBT/status/854062162314231808 |

There was an official announcement in their site. |
