Previous This thread is for the discussion of NyaaPantsu (pantsu.cat), a free (FOSS) torrent indexer, and other nyaa alternatives. The aim of this project is to write a fully featured nyaa.se replacement in golang that anyone will be able to deploy locally or remotely.
>Why is Pantsu down/error 502? Most likely because the team is deploying changes. Wait for a bit and refresh the page. It should be mostly stable now.

I know people are sick of this project, but I want to thank the devs who have been working on it and spending some cash just for some weebs.
Adam Hill
I don-t think anyone is sick of this project though, only the nyaazi shills
Isaac Price
w2c nyaapantsu slaps?
James Anderson
Keep those copyright notices posted NyaaPantsu dev, your responses are fucking hilarious
Jack Bailey
Seems like file list is only working on user submitted torrents, and even then it doesn't show the file names correctly. Scrapped torrents don't have a file list and the torrent file can't be downloaded either. Is this going to be fixed?
this is what i use. preset to search eng translated
Aaron Cruz
>until after pantsu was actually stable and completely functional.
So never?
Grayson Foster
>Taiga >no AniDB support dropped
Luis Baker
I can't really say I like this idea to have official merchandise. You're asking for attention in all the wrong places but ultimately it's up to you guys.
Noah Turner
user has a point. Looking at .si, Anidex and TT, none has official merch. BBT has an official shop though zazzle.com/bakabtshop/products
Liam Hill
ah, it's so beautiful
Christopher Price
wait, nevermind it still sucks
Henry Morgan
also you have a problem with your comments
Joseph Hill
I hope they really listen and get rid of between # and # days old and switch it to between date and date. Because it makes no fucking sense you that you already need to know the dates first then work back the number of days it was released instead of just inputting the fucking date in the first place. Seriously who thinks up of these things?
Dylan Ross
nyaa.pantsu.cat will always be overshadowed by the superior nyaa.si HorribleSubs and other important teams have picked it as their main tracker
Jackson Carter
Who cares, anidex was overshadowed by nyaa.se, and look at it now.
Parker Morales
nyaa.si tends to be better because of all the problems pantsu has but they are both still in their infancy, if devs continue to improve pantsu I see no reason to stop using it when nyaa.si suffers it's own problems.
Thomas Sanchez
Will be fixed soon. need to test out the de-dupe stuff on dev. Yeah need to fix that up. We plan on continuing to improve it and keep it going. Got a number of features planned once the site is stable and functional. The mobile app is also pretty neat and appeals to a lot of people.' I think "sharing" torrent files to transmission or other apps is also planned for it. Either way we're slowly and continuously improving the site. Yeah it definitely has it's negatives and it'll just be stickers I believe. The store plans to offer a large number of things anyway. I actually want a sticker for my thinkpad since I love the logo.
Camden Davis
Does that mean you're never going to drop the nyaa name now? I thought the plan was to move away from nyaa because the site is trying to do something more than what nyaa did.
Andrew Carter
This. I'm tired to see the nyaa attachment. I though logo user agreed to make a new one, and also the pantsu icon for mobile version. And now since a few weeks pantsu.cat redirects again to nyaa.pantsu, should be in the other direction.
Luke Morgan
Yea, why are you guys so desperately clinging on to the nyaa name? Just get rid of it entirely already. There's no point to it. Pantsu has nothing to do with nyaa now.
Carson Perez
Because muh "nyanpasu". No serioulsy drop the name already, it's been more than two months, even though pantsu is still struggling it no longer has a reason to been associated as a simple nyaa.se replacement nor successor.
Liam Price
nyaa name is ok ur dumb
Jason Mitchell
What's up with all people wanting to get rid of nyaa. The fuck are you up to, doing so, especially now, would most certainly decrease popularity.
Pantsudev mentioned a long ass time ago that they had plans to move away from the nyaa name and just be pantsu.cat but it looks like he changed his mind.
It's just banned. No more enemy's content for you.
Logan King
are we winning or not? in terms of traffic I mean. against .si I mean.
Brandon Roberts
we lost a long time ago, actually i dont think there ever was a competition.
Aiden Gray
If a replacement is ever made should be hosted in some neutral country like Norway.
Sebastian Murphy
>If a replacement is ever made what?
Leo Parker
> It's just banned. No more enemy's content for you. Tor exists.
Justin Wood
Well the replacements for Nyaa. That is what I mean.
Joshua Edwards
This is my response
Jack Ramirez
It's not an IP ban, it's a pattern matching one which distinguishes legit users from content thieves.
Jonathan Wright
Oh, so you mean an official one? I doubt the nyaa dev will make a new nyaa considering how fast he pulled the cord on the original. Didn't even give DB dumbs or some warning, straight up pulled the cord on it. Considering the userbase is split between a lot of websites now (pantsu, .si, anidex, & a lot of other ones), i doubt he'd get much success trying to revive it And i sure as fuck would not use it if it's for it to be deleted again the very moment he feels scared
Easton James
EL CARTEL > PANTSU SCUM
Eli Ross
I agree. But what I am saying in the future is to host the content on neutral servers instead of EU. It's obvious that is what happened to make him go away. If this was in Norway it would have been harder to pin the guy down.
Caleb Scott
In the future ewhal will get bored of his pet project and shut it down himself.
Levi Peterson
>It's obvious that is what happened to make him go away.
Actually, it's not. We still don't know why Nyaa decided to kill Nyaatorrents.
Jeremiah Cook
From what I heard and what was rumored around various sites. It was EU enacting more anti Piracy laws and the owner was afraid and shut it down.
John Campbell
And don't you think you'll get some problems using the .cat? It's funny to use it for silly kitten things but it's actually a sponsored top-level domain. Although I think if you put just some silly thing about the catalan language they let you use it.
Jayden Morris
Catalan translation ought to be enough
Julian Price
Can someone redpill me on the problem with nyaa.si
Jonathan Lee
>redpill
Kill yourself.
Eli Morgan
>being this new
Christian Williams
>nyaa dies >pantsu is born >few days later nyaa.si is born too >devs for nyaa.si doxx pantsudev and shill their site itt all day every day >horrible subs puts out an announcement that they heard "worrying things" and "racism" about pantsu
Liam Lopez
Heh.
Asher Nguyen
>Actually would worsen our SEO. That's fucking hilarious you see because when searching on encrypted google: >pantsu on 11th results page for "nyaa" >pantsu on 15th results page for "pantsu" The SEO is awfully inefficient, even .cx and .eu show before. At the beginning we had pantsu on 1st page, even when .si was launched it was still ahead, then you did shit and it was relagated after the 10th page since late may/early june and it was never fixed. A few weeks ago searching for only "pantsu" would show pantsu.cat on the 1st page in the top 5 results, it was sufficient as a reference, no need to keep the nyaa name, then shit happened again and it vanished in the depths. Searching for "nyaa" on google jp would return pantsu on the 1st page, it's no longer the case. The SEO couldn't be worsen furthermore, I don't know the variation of the results between countries but I don't see a single effort to resolve this matter.
Henry Anderson
>even nyoo.moe is higher than pantsu when searching nyaa
Colton Rodriguez
I blame kipukun. I bet he fucked with the SEO like how he fucked with everything else and makes whatever he touches worse.
Gabriel Cox
>literally no new uploads on pantsu since the nyaazi scraper died Come on man don't make me use nyaazi.
Camden Collins
I actually didn't mess with the SEO whatsoever, but I probably fucked it regardless
Why not just scrape horriblesubs RSS? Even though they spammed it before, it could easily be remedied by only having it active on schedule and only scraping shows with specified keywords e.g. [HorribleSubs] {SPECIFIED SHOW NAME} - {##} [{RESOLUTION}].mkv. the only solution for them would be to spam all users, and you would probably not be on the brunt of that attack.
Benjamin Lopez
That's it, I delet pantsu from my bookmarks. .si + anidex + TT + shana are what I only need.
Connor Kelly
>sukebei pantsu is top 2 results before .si Well at least not everything is fucked.
Nolan Lopez
>admins spend all day posting in a shilling thread instead of fixing what's wrong Name the site.
Hunter Evans
nyaa.si They just forget their trips
Matthew Butler
Im going to disable the singapore reverse proxy since the network is too slow to handle the traffic. (Shitty peering in singapore). There won't really be any significant difference since there will still be the russian server for the asian traffic. We will also be constantly rotating the reverse proxy's.
Christian Hughes
>russian server for the asian traffic Why not some 3rd world SEA country instead? They might surprisingly have better networks.
Camden Gonzalez
I might try some, singapore has cheap and good connection but the provider i was in seems to have rather shitty peering.
Isaiah Wood
nyaa.si
Grayson Jackson
Actually from what I heard Google has been messing with the search results to curb piracy which sucks dicks.
Adrian Thomas
Who the fuck is this guy and why does he sell Pantsu stickers? He posts on Sup Forums and it's not any of the devs.
I think I failed one of my finals. I need a hug. Torrents for this feeling?
Wyatt Gomez
It's already been explained in the last thread by PantsuDev. see The site isn't exactly launched yet, however anyone can start ordering them now if they want. A large percentage of the money from each of the orders will go towards the servers (including upgrades) and bounties. The amount of money we get will also be posted on the transparency.pantsu.cat/expenses/ And where it will be going to as well.
Tyler Moore
>for my thinkpad
What model do you own?
Owen Rodriguez
>racism Fucking autism
Why the fuck did the dox pantsudev, pantsudev is /comfy/
Leo Bell
Wanna know where the racism allegations came from? Pantsudev was asked if he would take donations or set up a Patreon, and he replied "no, we're not like (((them)))". Some guy named Herkz who has some kind of official role at nyaazi and is a self proclaimed genderfluid sjw lost his shit and started complaining loudly and frequently about this
Isaac King
>self proclaimed genderfluid sjw
He's just a shitposter though. A terrible shitposter, but just that.
Nicholas Taylor
Herkz is a bizarre case as to me he definitely knows his stuff on encoding and has insight on fan Translators. But at the same time drama seems to follow him wherever he goes. But why would he be mad about someone saying they are not like the other site?
Levi Hall
It is pantsudev attempting to profiteer from piracy by launching his own shitty store. I like how everyone always has ulterior motives for anything. nyaa.si will probably have jlist ads again, pantsu is trying to launch a business from their site. Money is king boys, lets not pretend anyone is in this because they are nice.
>herkz >official role nyaa.si/user/herkz >Trusted >Not mod or admin >Doesn't even have pp or anything in their IRC ??? are you just retarded or a straight pantsu shill? Because is accurate. All herkz does is shitpost, he isn't anyone important at all yet idiots like you and Sup Forums continue to feed him (You)s.
Carson Diaz
s/have pp/have op/
Evan Brooks
You got it backwards. Drama doesn't follow herkz, herkz creates drama. Just look at his twitter and you'll understand.
Eli Torres
Well nothing is for free, even Sup Forums and other sites need money for servers and to make a small profit. Whether it is ads in the corner, yearly passes, clothes, stickers etc etc. It's not like they can do this out of their own pocket and it's cheap to do.
Owen Murphy
Is it so difficult to make Pantsu work as nyaa.si? Everyone is using .si instead of Pantsu because Pantsu's scraper is shit and the website goes 502 a hundred times a day. Also, disable mascot by default. The page takes longer to load and the mascot itself is disgusting.
Ian Thomas
>he fell for the thinkpad meme You are browsing Sup Forums too much.
Gavin Harris
Name the provider... Also, your previous twitter banner was better...
Julian Russell
Tell that to the idiots hurfing all day about "muh nyaazi demon ad money" as if running a huge site serving tens of millions of requests per day is cheap or easy. Most of the people around here need some serious reality checks regarding the costs of operations. I mean just look at pantsu, they've spent like over 500EUR or something in two months. I can't imagine college kids can keep that going for long, and I don't really know if stickers was the right way to fix it.
Best release for black lagoon?Itching for a rewatch.
Carson Morales
They've had what, 15+ server migrations, constant search issues, display issues with user profiles not showing torrents, stats not updating or showing 0/0/0, and countless other issues? I'm pretty sure this is a classic case of Sup Forums doesn't know how to run a project. Let alone a large website.
Hunter Adams
Oh I agree absolutely ad revenue is important to sites like Sup Forums and passes barely keep this site alive or any other as it ism especially ad clicks. Moot even complained awhile back that Sup Forums barely even makes any money back and barely breaks even. They even said they might put things behind a paywall like gifs and large image files because those are big enough to hog space. Also to add to the irony is I always see it in every thread "why is it so slow!? Why is it having maintenance!?" It's because they are overloaded and they do not have the server space to hold up 2 million NEETS per month. Even YouTube is going to be in big trouble if not enough people pay for YouTube Red per month.
I try to turn off ublock for things like KissAnime,Sup Forums or pantsu because those sites have learned to place ads where they are not seen that much and are non intrusive. More sites are trying to do that now.
On the other hand I can understand having things like that on for YouTube ads because there is like 5 or 10 per long video and they really need to keep it to two or less that are 30 seconds long. But either way I do agree it's costly and it's a lack of education.

also pick something other than shimapan, personal tastes aside sticking stripes on everything looks awful.
