I'm downloading about 5000 torrents right now in qbittorrent and I'm worried about storage space. Is there a way to extract the total size of all the torrents and add them up?
Need to be seeding 1500-2000 torrents, mostly inactive ones. But the SBC should be capable of: Saturating the 100/100 internetconnection simulaniously AND be able to deliver at least 10MB/s, better 30MB/s within network (streaming music/movies) at the same time. No heavy I/O besides catching on freeleeches and listening to music/watching movies by one machine. Requirements would be: Ethernet capable of 300Mbit/s net, 2GB RAM minimum to be able to cache torrent files to keep I/O of the HDD to a minimum. Ideally: USB3 or Sata connector.
Thinking about Orange/Banana Pi, or even Odroid/Udoo/Up, with the latter options being quite (too) expensive.
Aiden Cox
make your own simple script to walk the download folder and add each folder name if u want to add the torrents name u will have to process the torrent file, its doable ,albeit little more hard
Cameron Barnes
That's the opposite of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to create a backup of all anime ever created in anticipation of AB and BakaBT getting shut down (it's coming).
better build the cheapest x86 build u can sbc will always suffer IO is shit
Liam Lopez
>RAID6 Absolutely disgusting
Jose Sanders
>backup of all anime ever created in anticipation of AB and BakaBT getting shut down The anime is in the computers of the people idiot, not on the sites. You should lurk for a while before posting. Go watch a video on how torrents work or something.
Jace Cooper
>backup of all anime ever created how about making yourself useful to humanity and upload instead movies/music/apps/books or whatever to any other site?
Joshua Butler
Take the case of rare anime X. You can't buy it on DVD or BD or at all. 4 people in the entire world are seeding it. The government comes in and shuts down piracy on the entire internet. Now only 4 people in the entire world have it, and over time either the HDD will break or they'll delete it for space. Now that anime is lost forever because there's no archival copy anywhere, even with the studio that technically owns the rights to it. Now another anime is lost forever to future generations. That's what I'm trying to avoid.
I'm planning to eventually convert over to RAID1 and have multiple backup sites, but I'm just starting right now. There's too much talk about internet laws to wait any longer.
brainlet quesiton about rutorrents seed time+ratio groups. if i have to restart rtorrent for some reason, does the clock for the seed time go back to zero and start over, or does it save its previous state?
Chase Evans
Where the heck are you getting the money for this?
Sebastian Miller
I have a job and I saved up the money to buy the initial hardware.
user u fighting a nobel fight but u will lost to entorpy
Gavin Green
Is it really worth to spend time and money to get into a private tracker? I'm fine with the stuff on rarbg honestly it's high enough quality, not that yifi shit
Asher Watson
If you have to ask, no.
Kayden Price
It's a fun hobby and you get some content on the side.
Leo Watson
You're not wrong. I barely have time to sit down and enjoy anime anymore, compared to when I was NEET. But this is a job that needs to be done for posterity.
Hey guys, I use qBittorrent. I have three external hard drives that I'm sometimes disconnecting to plug in on my tv. I shut down qBittorrent while I'm doing it.
Is there a way to stop the torrents from one hard drive with this shitty torrent client or not?
Aiden Moore
Which trackers recruit from MAM?
Brody Hall
Oh, my bad, I found how to. It's not a shitty torrent client after all.
Juan Robinson
no
Thomas Mitchell
No don't worry it's still pretty incredibly shitty.

Jose Jones
u go look on MaM and tell me how u advance the to the top. from the offcial tracker recruitment threads
Jordan Foster
Holy shit EMP is such a shitty curry tracker but there's no better alternative for 3dpd pr0n. The amount of unseeded and poorly seeded uploads is unreal for a private tracker.Not even mentioning all the duplicates, shitty uploads, bad encodes, and lack of features or broken features with the tracker itself.
James Sanchez
why the fuck there needs to be so many "internals" ? every noname tracker has a different encode of the content.. it triggers me so much, why cant they just bring over the content IF IT'S ALREADY MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE ? it would make it easier to cross-seed and would result in longer retention
Hey guys. I'm new to the more elaborative technology skills, but I would like to host a website full of streaming services for classic movies, books, and various gems on the internet (ex: architecture portfolios of influential designers).
I realize these changes in internet laws won't cause an inaccessibility of this content, but it'll make it difficult. So id like to begin amassing a large amount of this stuff, keep it physically on a hard drive, then host it on a website for personal use of myself and a few friends.
Any ideas on how to start?
Jaxon Stewart
Download it all, set up an FTP server, and share it with your friends.
People have apparently been waiting for over a week with no response. I don't think there are even any mods in that channel who pay attention anymore.
Jonathan Smith
Any recommendations on a large storage device? I'm not rich, so preferably no super computer ssd 4000tb lightning cable monster.
Thank you! Also had to look up what an ftp server was
Jackson Butler
It works for me with WSL, and I remember it working on my seedbox, so if you have access to Linux, it should work. Just navigate to the directory with all the torrents and call the script.
Kevin Martinez
pornolab is better than emp
Asher Mitchell
If you're worried you may run out of space while downloading the torrents, turning on disk space preallocation may solve your problem.
You could probably extract the size data from the .torrent or .fastresume files in qbittorrent's download folder.
ISP's are directly in charge of transporting layer three information (bytes transporting from machine to machine). ISPs would just reroute the ftp connection, making the server unable to function. I don't see how an ftp server is a distribution solution post net neutrality
Easton Ward
I bought a 12 bay synology NAS and filled it up with 8TB WD Reds, which set me back about $5k. It really depends on how much storage space you need. You could build your own smaller NAS with decent RAID card and a handful of harddrives for much less than I spent.
>Linux I'm a WinTard. I know I need to make the jump to Linux already but the time just isn't right.
>You could probably extract the size data from the .torrent or .fastresume files in qbittorrent's download folder. That's where I am now. I'm trying to figure out how to extract the length from a torrent file, so I'm reading up on String operations in Python.
Adam Hill
Open a command prompt (winkey+r, type cmd, press enter), type python, press enter, and post what version of python it is (it'll either be 2.7.6 or 3.5.something)
Robert Powell
just lost my dedicated server virginity with kimsufi
how to I unfuck the shit tier upload speeds anyone?
I have a Banana Pi M2 Berry with a 2.5" HDD and just did some tests copying a 4 GiB file with scp: >laptop -> bpi: 15 MB/s (120 mbps) >bpi -> laptop: 11 MiB/s (88 mbps) >bpi laptop: 13.8 MB/s (110 mbps) to the bpi, 8.7 MB/s (69.6 mbps) from the bpi
Luke Bell
they're limited to 100 mbps nigger
Lincoln Gutierrez
I have a ratio rule on rtorrent set to "remove data" after a torrent reaches a certain ratio. A torrent recently hit that ratio, and the torrent was deleted from my client. However, the actual file is still on my seedbox. What did I screw up?
Grayson Price
I was enabled 3days ago after not logging in since 2013.
Oliver Brooks
Only 8 posts while I was out drinking. baka.
Josiah Wilson
>they're limited to 100 mbps nigger
Yes but my upload never exceeds 20kb/s. That is the issue. I am aware the limit is 100mbps, the speedtest results are clearly visible in the screencap...
James Bennett
I was able to write a script that worked on my test cases (after much struggling remembering basic Python and learning about regular expressions). It's running right now on about 7k torrents, so it's taking a while. It probably could have been optimized but oh well, at least it didn't crash my computer. I'll report in with whether or not I have enough storage to meet my goal or if I'm fucked shortly.
>1337 Most appropriate to how I feel that my script worked! The total for my torrents is ~45TB, and I have about another 2500 more to add, so I'm expecting this to work out nicely with the storage I bought! I'll probably need to add more storage next year to take into account all the new anime that gets created, and I eventually want to expand my archive to visual novels and manga. Here's the code for anyone who has a similar problem. Just toss it in the folder containing all the torrents you want to add up and let 'er rip. Disclaimer: I wrote this in Python 3.3.2 so the syntax might not work on more updated Python installs.
import os import glob import re os.chdir('REDACTED') d = 0 l = re.compile('lengthi(\d+)e4') for files in glob.glob('*.torrent'): file = open(files,'rb') t = file.read() s = str(t) m = l.findall(s) while(len(m) != 0): b = m.pop() c = int(b) d = d + c file.close() e = d/1000000000000 print(str(e) + ' TB') print('script complete.')
Why don't you post us some acceptable content for grownups?
Justin Long
do i have a chance at bib if i get in through an invite but dont have overdrive? i mean LG as source for uploading viable?
Joshua Bell
okay so its been a month since I sent my info to recruiter on Bib for animebytes. Im a PU and meet all requirements.
no answer yet
What do, should I try getting recruited from other trackers or give it up and watch anime with ads and shit quality online? Anyone had similar experience?
Jayden Hill
Overdrive isn't necessary at all. For buffer ebooks from Overdrive are mostly pointless. They are just too small, and most of them are on BIB already. It's easier to upload a few bigger ebooks or audio books.
Nolan Jenkins
thanks, so i won't be looked down if i bring zero original content to the site, but content that are available elsewhere?
Chase Wright
>give it up and watch anime with ads and shit quality online? You can always download 720p or 1080p HorribleSubs (horriblesubs.info/) episodes. They are on AB too. You might have problems finding seeds for older content though. But that's public trackers.
>What do, should I try getting recruited from other trackers It takes two weeks for power user on RED, the recruiter is pretty fast too.
Angel Jenkins
I am REALLY out of the loop
was the data from What.cd salvaged?
Andrew Stewart
The site's basically full man, 17,840/18,000 users enabled. I don't know what kind of games the private tracker community is playing but you might just be out of luck. Have you tried nyaa.si, nyaa.pantsu.cat, or bakabt? Additionally look for subgroups' websites. horriblesubs.info is good if you just don't want to pay for CR.
I doubt that other users would care where you got content from, unless the quality is bad. After all you're contributing to the site. Although you could bring new content from e.g. Audible, or any other audio book provider.
>17,840/18,000 users enabled. Why would that arbitrary user limit even matter? They are probably going to raise it anyway. If they are full, they would pull the recruitment threads. The recruiter is probably just lazy. It's not like they could find 100+ volunteers with no life within minutes. /s
Gabriel Diaz
Some recruiters take forever to get around to doing anything. My record is about 6 weeks to get an invite, but I know other people have had it worse.
Ryan Perry
bump. pls help I think I'm stupid
Gabriel Martinez
>paying for 100mbit Are there truly people out there who don't have at least a 100mbit home connection nowadays?
Brody Torres
I'm on 50mbit, but it's a business connection so I don't have to deal with bandwidth caps. There's no fiber in my area or I'd have moved by now. It costs the same as a residential 100mbit connection but there's no way I'd get away with saturating the connection for weeks at a time.
