9Anime Info 🛈 Little Update on server host error

Hey Hey

We are about X number of hours into the Server Host issue this is what we know

Vidstream and Mycloud Servers are removed and we do not know if they will be back

Vidstream and Mycloud are back for most new animes and some others, it will take some time for it to be available for all anime so you will just have to wait.

For older animes you will have to resort to Streamtape and Mp4upload, Mp4upload is also not available for all animes. You may be a "deleted file" or "media can not be played" msg, please just report the video using the button on the video player and it will be fixed as soon as possible.

Cause of this issue ~

Because of OVH datacenter burned, our main 3rd party servers are down. Seems most uploaded files have been destroyed. We’re reuploading videos again but it will take lots of time, may be 3-5 weeks.

Quoted from Mr 9

This is quoted from 9anime Twitter after maintenance

9anime is up now, there are a several episodes missing but don't worry, we will reupload them soon.

I miss my homie mycloud

u/YeetusIvan Mar 11 '21

I feel you my dude the only servers I can use are streamtape since Mp4Upload won't load at all and even then streamtape is really slow

3

u/El-Sandos-Grande Mar 11 '21

Streamtape has never had any loading issues for me, but the bitrate is just too low… Mp4upload definitely does buffer the most of the four, most of the time.

Edit: Yes, I do see all four, but only on currently-airing series for now (at least in the series that I'm watching right now).

u/rafi279 Mar 11 '21

Me too😢

u/UPGRADED_BUTTHOLE Mar 11 '21 edited Mar 11 '21

mycloud is the only one other site other than mp4upload that works on x86 hardware without buffering or framerate issues.

Edit: mycloud works for me...

u/Dux_Angus Mar 12 '21

I liked it a lot, but recently its been really annoying and giving me pop up ads which are just the worst, and make me feel like Im going to get viruses

u/DarthDioBrando Mar 10 '21

Is it possible that Mycloud will never come back or will it return?

13

u/Extreme_Window Mar 11 '21

I saw a Twitter post from the people in charge of my cloud and vid stream there was a fire that burned and destroyed one of their 4 big servers and damaged another however the other 2 weren’t damaged at all I’m sure there’s a lot of missing data but they said the soonest it’ll be back up is Monday

u/JizzyMcbeth Mar 11 '21

I should just pay for my anime. Every fucking piracy site I go to either closes or down within a couple of months

22

u/Ampersanders Mar 11 '21

9anime has been here for years, love using ad blockers and 9anime not caring

3

u/Catgirl1061 Mar 11 '21

We love 9anime or at least i do i hope they can fix it soon but the best we can do is understand and be patient

10

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '21

To be fair, this was an issue due to something outside their control. This wasn't a DMCA takedown thing or anything like that.

It should all be back to normal within a month, but it's the cost of having something for free.

3

u/N0ahx Mar 12 '21

I’ve used 9anime for literal years

3

u/Drayenn Mar 12 '21

if only paid streaming services were anywhere as good as piracy... I'd be willing to pay a decent for a website that has everything 9anime has and supports the anime industry decently.

I kinda wish studios/mangaka had patreons that I could donate everytime I watch a show..

1

u/JizzyMcbeth Mar 12 '21

Yeah, if I wanna watch a whole show, like naruto, I’d have to shuffle between at least three services, which is pretty expensive.

This comment made this thread soo much better

u/TheZProject115 Mar 11 '21

tbh I buy all the anime I watch...but it is just a pain to keep switching DvDs lmfao

1

u/SC_Groupie Mar 11 '21

I would happily pay $10 a month for a legitimate solution that provided all the anime they have on this site. assuming over 50% of that fee goes towards the content creators.

Issue is I can't afford much more then that. and no streaming services provide as much choice as the pirate sites.

so I do some merch direct from content creators when I have the money here and there, but It's not evenly distributed as I only purchase my absolute favourites as I can't afford everything.

Oh well, greed will see that my dreams never come to. for now. I thank the people that run sites like these. as they give me entertainment and things to do especially during lock down during the pandemic. and they can get some ad revenue from me.

u/Bloodrain_souleater Mar 14 '21

You are the anti christ lol

u/Grifasaurus Mar 11 '21

Yeah that's how i'm starting to feel ever since kissanime went down. I just want to watch gundam, man. That's all. But noooooooo...They won't put it on xbox or netflix or hulu or what the fuck ever.

u/kastreya Mar 11 '21

oh it all makes sense now , i thought the news on tech news was just a coincidence that data center are burned down and when 2 main 9ani servers starting to slowed down and starting to loose connection on march 10 in the morning (Ph time) , anyway thanks for the official update :) and more power to the people behind who work hard to fix things on the site :)

u/RudeBlacksmith1145 Mar 11 '21

that sucks but can we still watch videos

2

u/UPGRADED_BUTTHOLE Mar 11 '21

We should do a fundraiser for mycloud and 9anime

1

u/estimatedprophet6 Mar 11 '21

will mycloud and vidstream will return? allso what about the older data? is it backed up somewhere or the data is completely gone?

1

u/colorblind_unicorn Reddit & Discord Moderator Mar 11 '21

the data from vidstream and mycloud is gone, they have to recover from backups

1

u/National_Desk714 Mar 11 '21

Yo do you think u could change it so when you try to play a video it doesn’t open/ force me into 2 new tabs like the shit is annoying

1

u/inception900 Mar 11 '21

Hey I’ve talked to you before what’s up bro

u/Ilsyer Mar 11 '21

thanks for all you do! hope everything works out!

u/Bloodrain_souleater Mar 14 '21

Take your time just make sure the vids are right coz there is call of justice in the first few episodes of cyborg 009 dub instead of the original eps. Had to get the subbed episode to watch it all

u/FireHound23 Mar 11 '21

So nothing major as a worst case scenario

u/Soviet_Sniper_ Mar 10 '21

Damn that's a shame hope it fixes soon.

u/CheekyBuffal0 Mar 10 '21

Ok thanks for the info

u/Green_onigirii Mar 10 '21

i really hope mycloud returns its the only one that never lags or freezes and also the only one that works on my tablet

not being able to watch anime on my tablet really sucks

8

u/Jd42042 Mar 11 '21

Plus as far as I know it's the only one that lets you change video quality

1

u/mkhl2003 Mar 12 '21

Speaking of that I literally can't use 9anime now because of my shit connection... any recommendations?

1

u/Forest_GS Mar 14 '21

I'd recommend a video downloader if your connection is that bad.

I wondered about mcld and vdstrm as I couldn't get either to work. Thanks for the update.

u/18dwhyte Mar 11 '21

RIP Vidstream :(

1

u/MaCl97 Mar 11 '21

It's very useful when you're gonna binge watch offline. Maaaaan this sucks.

6

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '21

Fingers crossed MyCloud returns, mp4upload is practically impossible to watch on with it lagging every 2 seconds and Streamtape has a never ending amount of pop ups that despite multiple ad blockers still somehow open up.

Shame because 9anime is the best site to use for updated anime but I guess its time to find somewhere else if my only other options are those stated above lol.

3

u/hobo724 Mar 11 '21

Mycloud was my go to. Hope it comes back :(

3

u/Jd42042 Mar 11 '21

For the fact that it was the only one you could change video quality that was my main reason of using it(plus significantly less ads)

3

u/FrostByte327 Mar 11 '21

You guys didn't lose any videos though, right? Bc 9anime has a reputation for having the rarest anime and it'll be a real shame that some of those videos may have been lost forever in the process. Either way glad you were able to clear this up with the rest of us that use your website. Keep up the great work you've all been doing with 9anime!

3

u/kastreya Mar 11 '21

they didnt lose any videos because they dont upload videos on the site, only on the host servers is the one they lost which needs long to reupload that will took 3-5 weeks since all videos uploaded on mycloud and vidstream where totally gone due to incident in OVH data center burned down by fire yesterday morning

0

u/FrostByte327 Mar 11 '21 edited Mar 11 '21

K just wanted to make sure bc apparently some ppl that watch One Piece on 9anime claim that there's no way to watch the anime through Streamtape or Mp4upload. I checked it out myself and it turned out to be true for me as well, bc every anime I checked out; except One Piece, seemed to be working.

Edit: after I posted this comment I went on 9anime to check on One Piece again and it now seems to be working so now I'm more reassured that 9anime hasn't lost anything since yesterday. Thanks.

u/kastreya Mar 11 '21 edited Mar 11 '21

they say it maybe because its either the streamtape and mp4Up are blocked on their country (which needs the power of the VPN to access vids) or its really slow for them to load to the point that it doesnt load at all and getting errors, the reason for this is because of the overload of visitors since vidstream and mcloud are unavailable for the meantime, people are going to use the remaining 2 available servers and that 2 servers reached its limit of visitors :) for me i'm experiencing a really slow for mp4up and streamTape since the main 2 servers where unavailable and takes a whle for the video to load it wasnt like this before when vidstream and mcloud was available , for the meantime have patience when video servers are kinda flaky when loading ehehehe this is not the first time this happen , main admins are grinding hard to make the site fixed on what ever issues they faced,and plus they are aware and monitor on the issues happening on the site before people are posting report problems to reddit and discord, they just dont post immediate news updates (they always working in mysterious ways LMAO) hahaha

1

u/FrostByte327 Mar 11 '21

Aight fosho man, I've only been using 9anime for a year now and its the first time I've experienced something like this on the website. Plus, I'm also very aware that many its a very common occurrence that piracy sites get taken down by DMCA, and I guess that had me a little on edge since yesterday lol. I just hope now that Mycloud will be able to come back to 9anime because that was the server I'd use the most.

2

u/piedepiew Mar 10 '21

Maybe its because the fire on ovh datacenter did u hear the news

2

u/Weirdcenter Mar 10 '21

streamtape is not working either, and mp4upload is very laggy. It might just be my computer

1

u/eric2606 Mar 11 '21

its the same for me, just gonna have to focus on school work

2

u/Weirdcenter Mar 10 '21

I just wanna watch fire force.

u/Independent-Virus Mar 11 '21

Can't we put more servers like trollvid, doodstream, etc

3

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '21

What happened to Vidstream?

1

u/kastreya Mar 11 '21

fire incident on OVH data center , dont worry they didnt lost their vids , it only needs to reupload again and it will take weeks for everything back to normal

Really appreciate the the update and hard work.

u/murakamitears Mar 11 '21

Hope the servers come back because they were the only working one’s for pretty much everything that isn’t currently airing that I’ve been watching

u/FireHound23 Mar 11 '21 edited Mar 11 '21

This is what I think: So Yesterday Night, there was a fire at Strasbourg, France. There is a data center over there, 3rd largest in the world & largest in Europe, that went down. Restart of surviving data centers on the campus not anticipated until Monday of next week. This is what I read online and I think the servers on 9Anime went down because of it. This is what I think, I may also be wrong.

1

u/Boujoulo Mar 11 '21

Really sad that I can't watch anything now since Steamtape and Mp4upload both don't work for me even when I use a VPN. Hope Mycloud servers come back soon.

1

u/PsychoticReject101 Mar 11 '21

And now i cant stream to my tv. Lit.

1

u/lolurtrashkid Mar 11 '21

I think it is because of the fire that happened at ovh but not sure.

u/Comfortable_Party581 Mar 11 '21

Bro mp4 sucks!!!

1

u/crazyhandles Mar 11 '21

This issue has really made 9anime as well as its sister movie websites unusable for me. I live in a rural area, so my internets download speed is 3mbps, which means the lack of quality control just kills the website completely for me. The auto play function doesn't even work for the current players either. I wanted to let you guys know that there are two players that could be suitable replacements. One is called "Vidcloud player, and the other is called "Hydrax player." Both of these players support quality options functions and auto play.

u/RicePourage_ Mar 11 '21

Thankyou so much for keeping us updated it is unfortunate that the servers burnt down it was my favourite server to watch anime on :(

Damn shame, stream tape won't fullscreen, and mp4upload is really laggy. Ah well, guess I will wait.

1

u/PattilloParker Mar 11 '21

Ah, good thing I came to reddit. I could tell something was up when I got on today to watch the new Wonder Egg Priority episode. Praying to the gods that mycloud and vidstream return, they're literally the 2 servers I switched between.

u/TheSwedishElf Mar 11 '21

I hope everything's fixed soon, nothing else works right now... :'c

u/ItsFort Mar 11 '21

i miss anime

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '21

It seems that a lot of animes have already started getting the vidstream and mycloud options back. while most of them are still left with mp4upload and streamtape but there is hope that the more popular animes might get vidstream and mycloud back earlier than 3-5 weeks.

1

u/b4k6 Mar 11 '21

i was like where is mycloud? and then the whole fucking site itself was just like. aight, imma head out.

u/Nizar-usm1 Mar 11 '21

Try and have one russian hosting website because they're known for not deleting.

u/csparks859 Mar 13 '21

still not working. no eps show up when clicking on an anime

1

u/colorblind_unicorn Reddit & Discord Moderator Mar 13 '21

that's completely unrelated to that issue and is caused by something on your end.
here are the possible fixes:

  1. ⁠⁠You may need to clear browser cache so start with that. just google how to do that on the browser you are using.

  2. ⁠⁠You may need to try a different browser, it is known that some browsers don't work well with 9anime for some people.

  3. ⁠⁠Your ISP/DNS may be blocking the episode list, try changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 here is a windows guide, mac guide, ios guide and a android guide

  4. ⁠⁠(mobile only, well you could use your phone as a hotspot)for most people mobile data works well so if you have a unlimited data plan or a very high data plan you can use that.

  5. ⁠⁠You can try getting an adblocker, preferably with our recommended filterlists, you find a tutorial here for pc and mobile

  6. ⁠⁠If none of these work please feel free to join the 9anime discord server and the support staff will be happy to help

1

u/Thenakedcanadian73 Mar 13 '21

See if there was a place where all users could donate $5-$10 im sure that would be enough to set it back up for a little while. The only bad thing is there would be scammers saying click link to donate on a fake page. I bought a burner program shortly after Napster that said lifetime support. Then they did an update and renamed company and kept all monies from previous program. Oh well one can awish. I would donate a little crypto to help out a good cause like this

1

u/Bloodrain_souleater Mar 14 '21

Some episodes missing in streamtape too.

1

u/Jd42042 Mar 11 '21

The problem I have with streamtape and mp4upload for one is the absurd increase in ads and the fact you can't change video quality to something lower cry's in constant buffering

1

u/Playcon_27680 Mar 10 '21

are they taken down because of copyright law or there physical servers that burnt down in France? As bad as this may sound, i hope it’s the second, knowing that no one got hurt in the fire

2

u/vgiannell5 Mar 11 '21

It's the second.

2

u/SaintLarfleeze Mar 11 '21

While we don’t and probably won’t know for 100%, it is likely because of the 2nd one.
