Sorry I skipped another day of hentai shares yesterday, there was a conspiracy against me on that day (I see no other explanation).

And, worse, today’s shares will be not super-fresh stuff, OMG ! I missed time today too, so I decided to just go and post what I was planning to share yesterday ;)
Please bear with it, I’ll catch on today’s releases the next evening :)

While I’m at it, could I add two remarks, please ?

– I am aware my English grammar and spelling aren’t perfect (*cough*understatement.of.the.year*cough*), so please, when I commit something unforgivable or hurting your eye, I won’t take it badly if you leave a comment with a correction :)

– I’m still extremely seriously pondering my options to serve myself the files instead of relying on file hosts, because I bloody want to DO it in order to offer a longer lasting hosting, my latest “state of the brain” can be read here. If you have experience reports, feedback, ideas, or discover a flaw in my reasoning, oh please, do tell :)
(That’s a link to a comment written at the bottom of the sharing page, and then edited several times, but I noticed that, with Firefox, I had to go to the URL bar, and hit Enter, to make my bloody browser scroll down to the location of the comment, go figure.)

That’s all, I wish you all to have a good day, and may the thought there’s some good hentai waiting for you at home help you endure the day’s hardships :twisted:

I guess because I am American and they are messing with our ISPs, but I am having a hell of a time with the file sites. Almost every file barely runs. It is like I constantly get and lose a connection. It was say for example, 3 minutes. Then the speed freezes off an on and it takes 25 minutes for a 50mb file..

Everyone has a bad day every once in a while, but at least your site is still up and running unlike Ecchi Neko (nekohentai.net). I wonder whatever happened to it? I can't seen to get in no matter how many tries a day I go through.

Yeah, I really wonder why it closed down.

At first I was blaming google, the owner of blogspot, but forum.nekohentai.net is also closed, and that subdomain can't be hosted at blogspot, and yet it won't load either.

Actually your grasp of english grammer is better than most people in the US. Some ISPs are cracking down harder than others but for the moment all your current hosts have been great.

I see no point in comparing myself to illiterate teenagers drugged to texting on their smartphones, I mean : real grammar ;) – but thanks :D

You musn't blame only your ISPs, the file hosts seem to hold a grudge against Americans for the megaupload shit, too.

Am I the only one that smirked when I read the very next line after you were asking us to correct your grammar? "I’ll still extremely seriously pondering my options…" I think you meant "I'm" and I think you need a comma between "extremely" and "seriously". :p

Or maybe you were just testing us. Yeah, that's probably what it was. ;)

Damn :D

It's always the same, when you mention spelling or grammar, especially when you try to criticize someone, you end up doing big mistakes :D

Thanks for the report, it fixed it.

I've never commented as I've never had anything pressing to say, however, I would like to take this moment to thank you profusely for putting the effort into this site that you do. You gain nothing from putting this effort into wrangling hentais, organizing, uploading (multiple places + pic galleries included), linking, and blogging about each- yet you do so anyway for the benefit of others. I just want you to know it's appreciated. A toast to Hentai Rules and you, Oliver.

Thanks, HapsburgH :)

But to be frank, me too, I gain from it !
A bit of beer money (why do I buy pints instead of going to a gym T_T), and, more than that, holding Hentairules makes me feel better all day, it makes me feel proud and glad to be doing another useful thing. Some people spend fortunes with weekly shrink sessions giving half-assed results, while me, I have a popular hentai blog and it makes my days brighter and pays me a few beers, I also gain from it ^^

How about seeding a large torrent updated every (week ? month ?) as backup ?

The upload speed don' t need huge bandwidth, only time, and you can slow it down a lot when you need bandwidth, we can select the files we want on our torrent client and after a perhaps difficult beginning, the torrent will have many others seeders with the complete archive helping with their upload speed.
About updates the seeders will only need to recheck their already downloaded files and leech only the newest, so no need of redownloading the whole thing each time.

Obviously this will not give you beer money, but if you host your files yourself i don' t know how to earn money as you' ll need to pay the server.

Ads. And if he has more than 40 people (and doesn't invest in upgrading the server) all that's left is profit.

Also, in case you don't realize it, he has a lot of files. Well over 100GBs. I dunno about you, but I find it difficult seeding 100GBs to multiple people. 100GBs is like half the bandwidth I'm allotted in a month from my ISP too.

If I get ten times more people, it can pay the 350$ – minimum – required for a gigabyte line -_-

The point is : does he wants to earn money from it, or just pay the bandwidth/server ?

If the only goal is to offer an alternative/backup way to download the files, keep in mind the bandwidth cost money, torrent use user' s bandwidth, perhaps slower but free of charge.

If he wants to get money from this, the server is obviously more interesting, but there will be a minimal ad viewing user and/or paying users for earning benefice once the server is paid.

I' m curious about the total filesize of all hentairules uploads, but i saw by the past several very large torrents containing compilations of 100GB+ english manga or hcg successfully uploaded. (and even bigger torrent with 1080p siterips/complete TV series)

As i said, the difficulty is only while the initial seed, after the whole set had been uploaded once (release/fast spread mode), users add their own upload speed and help greatly.
Everybody won' t need to download ALL the files but only the ones they want, then, they will help uploading these files.

Don' t forget torrent like any P2P make leechers upload between them, the initial seeder don' t need to upload each part to each user, but each part to a different user, who will upload that part to another user.

If you upload the 100GB only once but spreaded to all users, they can complete all the remaining part without you, using only their own upload bandwidth.
Once a file has been seeded, the work is done till replacement with improved/uncensored, even if the torrent is upgraded (same hash).

If it' s only for backup purpose, then the time is not important as it will use only his unused bandwidth (and why not using a seedbox to speedup the things ?)

My upload speed is, at best, 105 kB/s.
Regrettably, that's enough to dismiss that option -_-

So the initial seed will take a long time, but that' s not a problem if it' s only for backup purposes.
It will cost you nothing but time and upload bandwidth.

Once the 100GB (for example, i don' t know how your total archive pack would be ?) is spreaded through different users, things speed up and you theorically doesn' t even need to upload anymore (only if each user keep seeding their chunk, in the best case scenario)
In fact, it' s better to continue help seeding till there are a few complete seeders available. (and to keep the torrent alive)

105 kB/s
x 3600 =
378 000 kB per hour
= 369 MB per hour

100 GB = 102 400 MB

102 400 / 369
It would take me 277.5 hours to fully seed it for just one person

That means 11 and a half days per month, my computer would have to stay switched on, uploading 24/7, forbidding me from uploading my own shares, just in the name of seeding ?

Moreover, torrents don't work like that, I'll be seeding to a few "chosen ones", meaning actually it would take me a full month to upload the whole stuff.

So, this is a "no fucking way", once again.

And case closed.

So the full package is really =100GB ?

1/You can seed only when you don' t need bandwidth, you can also set the upload cap for each hour with µtorrent .
2/Time is not an issue, it could take a month or two, or three, that' s not really a problem, for you (because it would use only unused bandwidth) nor for the users (we talk about the WHOLE archive, people who want only a few files won' t have to wait this long).
3/With the super-seed option you will not upload all the packets to only ONE person at a time, but instead distribute packets through all the leechers, who will exchange between them before downloading a new packet from you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding

Once the initial seed is finished and the torrent is installed with a few complete stable seeds, the big work is pretty much done; news and update obviously won' t require to reseed the whole thing from the beginning as users only need to recheck the hashcodes of their already downloaded files.

Obviously this would be a free backup solution, and not a costly super-speed server, but if i understood well you wanted a long lasting solution and not necessarily superfast DDL, which become expensive.
The torrent will last as long as there are seeders on it, with a few guy seeding the whole archive and after posting it in a few known trackers it can stay alive without problem.

A superfast DDL system is indeed nice and offer far better performances and won' t rely on user' s bandwidth, but seems useless to me as secondary backup option if you want to keep the fileshosting links as first/preferred choice (more interesting because of the beer money they bring).

You're right on something, I blindly took Hurp's figure.

Actually, this is 193 GB.

Which means : no. When I have no use for my computer, I turn it off.

I'm not entirely determined yet, but allow me to give you an extremely useful lesson if you've got server spending projects in the future :

From my personal experience, going non-profit for the good cause is a SERIOUS mistake, because as soon as there's a problem, you suddenly DO lose money, and lots of it. You don't lose the money of the members, no, you have to take money from your own bank account unless you just call it quit and let everything end.

Earnings MUST excess spendings at all cost, at all times.

Maybe it's that I'm not a teen anymore, but I have a much more realistic view on this, I think, lasting projects don't just cover their costs. Just covering costs, this, this is what happens to short-living projects :o
