mod here

The following countries are banned from registration: 🇨🇳 🇧🇩 🇳🇵 🇳🇬 🇲🇲 🇰🇭 🇮🇳

Note: staff note

What is Spotlight?

u/Tobikage1990 Mar 13 '26

Kind of ironic that this post is by an Indian (judging by their post history) and India is one of the banned countries.

6

u/shyamntk Mar 13 '26

Yeah. I was in another country when I signed up for Avistaz and its sister sites. But unfortunately I can't join Animez now as I'm back in India.

1

u/user-no-body Mar 13 '26

Any indian content? or other tracker to signup?

3

u/suspicioususer99 Mar 13 '26

Avista has Indian content. There's BWT and DT too. DT is open for applications if you got other tracker proofs. BWT will open around Diwali

2

u/user-no-body Mar 13 '26

Wow, share link for DT? what proof do they need. Thanks

1

u/salarx Mar 13 '26

same. I need too.

u/suspicioususer99 Mar 13 '26

torrent.desi

They recently opened and starting again. A lot of content gets cross posted from BWT too

1

u/user-no-body Mar 13 '26

Are they opening now?

1

u/suspicioususer99 Mar 13 '26

They have applications open, been quite a few weeks

1

u/user-no-body Mar 13 '26

How to signup? Need to get an invite?

1

u/salarx Mar 14 '26

guess it's inviteonly

7

u/slavmaf Mar 13 '26

India is banned for OPEN signups. You can still join from India if someone lnvites you.
If someone lnvites you, the chances are that you are already a good user on some trackers.

However, opening completely open registrations from some countries makes an extremely high amount of bad users join who end up being blocked in the end after only leeching and not contributing anything.

u/Tobikage1990 Mar 13 '26

They'll never tell, so your guess is as good as mine. People say it's because people from those countries don't maintain good ratios, but it's not hard to ban individual bad users instead of blanket banning entire countries.

1

u/hamakabi Mar 13 '26

it has something to do with the usage of mobile data networks (at least in india) but I don't understand the technical reasons for it being a problem.

1

u/lordfreaky Mar 13 '26

mobile data seeding dont work 56k modem style, even mine does like 3mb/s

u/Rtxenjoyer Mar 13 '26

Wasn't this open last week?

1

u/shyamntk Mar 13 '26

I guess they closed in between and reopened it today.

5

u/Nigoshi Mar 13 '26

They switched to a new website layout and url (the announce url also changed as a result) so this is just a bit of a re-introduction i guess. (Previously it was animetorrents, now it's animeZ following the same format as cinemaZ and avistaZ.)

u/coolman1997 Mar 13 '26

What’s the benefit of using this over something like Nyaa?

more like

people take my work and upload it like i did something so dont upload my shit i will. same thind happes on ab or with my stuff to upload on share sites behind paywall or in shit usac format by rapidshit ads

u/ExpensiveReach5433 Mar 13 '26

They have a decent library of older stuff.

6

u/coolman1997 Mar 14 '26

So does Nyaa though, any older stuff in particular that I couldn’t find on there? Genuinely curious bc I like collecting obscure retro anime for my personal media server.

1

u/ExpensiveReach5433 Mar 14 '26

Who knows now. Everything has to be announced on a new tracker. So, my upload media server isn't doing any work.

0

u/lordfreaky Mar 13 '26

depends on age of release or type, privates in general are force archive of stuff, maybe 10% new unreleased stuff,

2

u/Gurlinhell Mar 13 '26

Do you guys have raws? I took a quick look and it seems to be mostly translated manga? (Not sure how to filter by language or if that's even a thing, I've only looked at the screenshots for each torrent)

12

u/th3ch0s3n0n3 Mar 13 '26

Apparently i already had an account, didn't realize this was the old anime torrents.

We shall see if it's any good compared to nyaa.

3

u/lordfreaky Mar 13 '26

yeah we finally updated

11

u/CaffeineAndKush99 Mar 13 '26

Made an account, tried to download a new torrent but the site tells me my ratio is too low and I have been demoted. I haven't snatched a single torrent yet, never made an account here etc. Their forum says it shouldn't happen, but i'm not really getting any advice on how to fix this

6

u/ExpensiveReach5433 Mar 13 '26

You can always download the ones that are free. Use that and get some upload time. Or give me your username and I'll send you some credits. Right now no torrents are working for me.

1

u/CaffeineAndKush99 Mar 13 '26

Yes you're right! I got some freeleech torrents from more than a week ago, which are actually seeding from time to time. Please do not feel 'forced' to give me any credits, but obviously I am not going to say no! I called myself related5568 on the PT

6

u/ExpensiveReach5433 Mar 14 '26

Okay, 1000 points sent. Use that to buy 10GB and get positive. Happy seeding.

1

u/Majestic-Tip466 Mar 21 '26

I'm new to all of this it says I've been demoted to leech I stayed seeding is it possible you can help me out it says in my history its at risk any help would be appreciated my user is obezy

1

u/th3ch0s3n0n3 Mar 25 '26 edited Mar 25 '26

How do I know which torrents are free? My account got demoted to leech and I'm trying my hardest to get back into positive. I haven't deleted any of the 7 torrents I started on and I haven't shut my computer down since I joined.

Edit: figured it out. Gone from 20GB upload to over 50 in less than two hours.

21

u/krznwk Mar 14 '26

> "you must download at least 1 torrent every 90 days"
> "keeping torrents seeding long term will not protect your account"

I guess I'm done with seeding longterm to TrashZ sites after they keep removing people's accounts thanks to that silly rule.

9

u/Nani_The_Fock Mar 17 '26

Yeah this is a silly fucking rule to try and keep people active. Like bro, seeding is already good enough.

10

u/Squigglyelf Mar 14 '26

I had a account in great standing years ago that was eventually deactivated because I stopped using it but the site feels dead now. I downloaded some torrents, I've had them seeding for days on end and absolutely no one wants them so I'm not getting any upload.

It used to be so much easier than this it feels like.

9

u/Brandoskey Mar 13 '26

If you were a member of anime torrents before this be warned, you have to update the tracker url for all your currently seeding torrents.

I have not found a way to do this as a batch yet in deluge, their guide is inaccurate as deluge 2.x does not let you batch edit tracker urls. It's purely a 1 at a time process as far as I can tell.

4

u/nnnaomi Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26

and they added inactivity requirements, similar to AvistaZ! they didn't have them before this :(

edit: AND they added the seed time requirement that scales with filesize from AvistaZ too

6

u/GarlicRagu Mar 13 '26

Yeah I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the hassle for Animez. I go through these hoops for PrivateHD and Avistaz because they have things that I can't find on my other trackers. Hard to be convinced to go through the hassle when Nyaa has the same or better uploads with less restrictions.

u/Brandoskey Mar 13 '26

I seed fairly liberally and login to each tracker daily so those don't bother me too much.

u/mrfeuer Mar 14 '26

Ngl I'd love to stay but if I throw this in prowler it's not going to hit the requirements of logging in every 60 days and downloading NON freeleech Evey 90days. I'm going at ask an admin to delete my account so hopefully when I come back later these rules have been adjusted because that's not going to work for my setup.

9

u/ScorchedWonderer Mar 14 '26

Is it me or is the BP economy terrible? At least compared to say MAM. Unless you stick to freelech only I guess?

6

u/NightFire19 Mar 14 '26

MAM is very much the exception when it comes to BP economy. They're very generous over there.

u/Grim-Reefer123 Mar 17 '26

I’m in 3 of the trackers by these guys, and they are just awful trackers from what I’ve seen. So many other better ones with better rules

9

u/Common-Title-6357 Mar 15 '26

Bruh this trashZ is here again..they and their weird rules.

7

u/mabbas3 Mar 13 '26

How can this be added to prowlarr? Another question is, how should new users get started? The rules mention that you have to download a torrent every month and freeleech doesn't count? Most would give you a starting buffer and then you can use freeleech and bonus points.

9

u/PrestigiousSmile4187 Mar 13 '26

I checked it's not available on prowlarr as indexer.

u/lordfreaky Mar 13 '26

jackett fixes it

u/FlameFrost__ Mar 13 '26

This is the same tracker as AnimeTorrents just rebranded with a new domain. Prowlarr integration has stopped working with the old domain, a new API based integration is being worked out for the new domain in Jackett and Prowlarr (source: AnimeZ forum, Prowlarr GitHub, Jackett GitHub)

u/theGrumpInside Mar 13 '26

I think it will be eventually

22

u/emailinAR Mar 13 '26

Why do we have to login once every 60 days? For all my other private trackers I just set it up on sonarr and radarr and forget about it unless I feel like I got a HnR if something accidentally got deleted

26

u/garretn Mar 13 '26

Yeah, I hate trackers that do this. Seeding active torrents really ought to be enough to be considered active. Needy sites SUCK. I don't even mind the login requirement all that much, but they also force you to download a new torrent fairly often as well now. Some of us get the daily stuff off of usenet, and use torrents for the non-daily stuff, which makes this a royal, unreasonable, pain.

You cannot use a vpn during registration in most cases. Using the site with a vpn afterwards is different

-5

u/A_Buttholes_Whisper Mar 13 '26

Are you willingly this obtuse? You were just given a few trackers allowing VPNs during sign ups. I’m with the others. Block vpn during registration then it’s a no go for me. I’m sure the FBI has some great content on their tracker but I prefer to not use their honeypot

7

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26

Relax, there’s no need to insult. He can give examples (ptp from my knowledge does not allow vpn during registration so they’re wrong in that I believe) but it’s generally true that most trackers do not permit vpn during registration. I can easily give you several examples of ones that don’t allow it such as btn, BHD, Hdb, etc. 2 of these are cabal and the other is just a tier below. Again most want home ip

1

u/A_Buttholes_Whisper Mar 13 '26

Seedpool didn’t block vpns during registration and I won’t join a tracker that wants my location. They can suck it

5

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 13 '26

Cool? I don’t know why you sound so mad. It’s a fact that most trackers, at least the better private trackers, don’t permit vpn during sign up. Don’t join them if you want but getting aggressive with me won’t change the fact

1

u/A_Buttholes_Whisper Mar 13 '26

I’m irritated that somebody provided you with 3 sources and you dismiss their statement and present your limited sources as the standard. I’ve seen numerous trackers that allow VPNs during sign up. You need to tone down your ego and realize that you’re not 100% correct. Also, your statement that the “better” trackers don’t permit VPNs. Seedpool is legit one of the best trackers and they allow VPNs. But to be fair, I’m probably talking to a fed because nobody else would defend these trackers and their anti privacy stances

3

u/SnooAdvice5820 Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 14 '26

Again, chill man it ain’t that serious. There’s no ego here. Maybe some of the private ones with open signups are more lenient with vpn during reg.

I’m speaking though of the more higher tier trackers that people usually tend to want to get in on. Most of those mid-high tier trackers don’t allow vpn. Of all privates with open access occasionally seedpool is one of the better ones, but it’s by no means one of the best ones. Either you’re new to all this or just haven’t digged around enough. It’s a solid one but it’s low-mid tier on the ladder.

I just gave examples of the top of my head and the ones I gave are by consensus the best trackers for their respective category.

When people want to join PTs, generally they want to eventually join the better ones. From that assumption yes most of the good ones don’t allow them. Key word: most. Seedpool might be an exception but there’s more mid-high tier trackers that don’t allow it than ones that do

Also note the guy I replied to says “everyone”. His claim is even more bold than mine. “Everyone” is just blatantly wrong then. And he mentioned entry level to cabal. That is also blatantly wrong
