Anime Index – Torrent Tracker

For about a year, we’ve had a private tracker, which was only accessible by a few members of staff. I have decided to upgrade the said tracker, and now it is fully functional front-end, which means that anyone (including other groups) are welcome to use it.

http://tracker.anime-index.org/

It may take a while to get our old torrents working again. We will reseed all old batches over the coming month.

We have a board on our forums dedicated to the tracker (support, suggestions, etc).

Update: Emails are now working. You should be able to activate your own account.

Proposal: Selling *.is-my-waifu.com subdomains

So, the server Rin (where the bot Doki|Fate and the ftp server lives) is soon expiring and I need to think of a way to raise money to fund her for the future. She is not covered by donations nor other staff. Last time I sold mousemats, which generated enough profits to cover her for over a year (you will remember if you have followed us for long enough).

As it happens, I own the domain is-my-waifu.com. I am wondering if there is enough interest in buying *.is-my-waifu.com subdomains*. I will charge $6 a year, since there is sufficient interest. That is for the subdomain only. Webspace won’t cost much more on top, just let me know how much you will need. I will set a redirect on the subdomain, and it will redirect to your existing website. If you require webspace, that is also negotiable. I’d prefer payment by Paypal.

For example, you could have nanoha.is-my-waifu.com redirect to your own website.

As proof that I do own the is-my-waifu.com domain, check doki.is-my-waifu.com.

All profits generated will go towards funding Rin.

* Exclusions may apply. Subdomains are first come, first serve. Email Holo for full terms and conditions if you are definitely interested.

Competition

Firstly, thanks to everyone who entered. There were so many really amazing banners, but in the end only one can win!

So Holo has picked an overall winner and here it is:

Competition Winner

Submitted by tYyPpI, congratulations on winning, enjoy the prize!

We will probably be using 20-30 of the banners since there were so many and it would be a terrible shame not to use a large portion of them 😀

You can see all the banners submissions here.

Notice: About DDLs

Unless you have been living under a rock in the last two weeks, it won’t have escaped your attention that Megaupload got pwned by the Feds, and as a result, file hosting services have been falling like dominoes all over the internet. Fileserve no longer pay, and our account on there have been disabled for violation of T&C (lol). Filesonic commited suicide by stopping their sharing services. Your files can only be accessed by yourself only, now.

So anyway, I will think about how to proceed from here. For a week or so, we will not have any DDLs.

We will either have to find another file hosting service, drop a server, use ads, or increase donations (which I don’t really want to do).

Discussion: 10-bit h264

(Pic not related)

Remember the transition from XviD to h264? Well, soon, 10-bit h264 will replace 8-bit h264.

Advantages
Without going into encoder speak, 10-bit h264 can achieve a same level of quality as 8-bit h264, but at a lower filesize.

Disadvantages
10-bit h264 is not widely supported yet.

This is simply a discussion your opinions of 10-bit h264.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 Raw

Ibuki from Hoshikaka is mad because she can’t find the raw for Valkyria Chronicles 3: For Whom Do I Bear that Gunshot Wound.

Apparently a Russian group called RHT had released it a while ago. I have waited until now to ask for it, and I don’t have any high hopes of finding it. The first episode is said to be available on PSN. So if anyone of you knows where to get that raw, do inform us about it. Translations/timing/editing and QC has already been done. All that’s left are the theme songs which I will get to it soon enough.

In the meantime, enjoy our releases and have a nice day 🙂

EDIT: The BDs won’t be out until 29 June. It will take at least a few weeks before it will be available on the usual sharing sites. This would mean a possible delay of the release till late July or even early August if we can’t find the raw.

Banner Competition: Summer Edition!

1 link to a banner per reply.

And here are the technical criteria for the submitted banners:

  • 1240px x 250px
  • .jpg or .png (preferred)
  • Filesize should be reasonable.

And here are the criteria for characters/shows:

  • Character(s) should be female.
  • Banner must be SFW. No nudity/genitalia/hentai/etc.
  • Character(s) should come from a show that Doki has done/is doing/plans to do. This includes the wishlist.
  • The banner should include the words “Doki Fansubs” somewhere on it.

Good luck.

Some excellent banners! Just some advice, the best banners not only has good design, but the logo “Doki Fansubs” also “fits” the banner, ie, it doesn’t stand out. I’ll keep this open til the weekend, i think. Keep them coming!
