Theworm4002: /* IRC Clients */

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC '''IRC'''] ('''Internet Relay Chat''') is something that, if you stay online long enough, you will have to fool around with. It's a real-time internet chat where users chat with each other in ''channels'' which are located on a server (which house hundreds if not thousands of different channels). It's often the fastest way to get in touch with another person on BakaBT since many idle the IRC, which is not the case with the forum.

There are two official BakaBT IRC channels on the Rizon IRC network: [irc://irc.rizon.net/BakaBT #BakaBT] and [irc://irc.rizon.net/bakabt-support #bakabt-support].

==If you're new to IRC==
If you've read the [[FAQ]] and your question isn't in there, or you have an account issue you need help with (i.e. something you can't solve by yourself even if you know how to), the support channel is a relatively quick way to get the help you need.

Make sure you read the [[Rules#IRC Guidelines|IRC Rules]] before joining the channels.

===4-Step Guide to getting on #bakabt-support===
# Go to [http://bakabt.me/webirc.php our webchat] page.
# Type your BakaBT username in the first field (makes things easier for us; the easier it is for us to help you, the more likely we are to do so).
# Click 'Chat'. You will automatically be connected to our main channel (#bakabt).
# To get to the support channel (#bakabt-support), type '''/join bakabt-support''' and press 'Enter'. You will now be in the support channel (check to make sure).

===Alternative 4-Step Guide to getting on #bakabt-support===
If the above method doesn't work for you (because your browser doesn't support iframes, maybe), this might work.
# Go to [http://qchat.rizon.net/ Rizon QChat] page.
# Type your BakaBT username in the first field (makes things easier for us; the easier it is for us to help you, the more likely we are to do so).
# Type #bakabt-support in the second field. Leave Auth as 'None'.
# Click 'Connect'. You will automatically be connected to the support channel (#bakabt-support).

===What you need to know about #bakabt-support===
In Rizon webchat interface:

# The typing area is at the bottom of the page.
# Users with '''%''' beside their name are channel half-operators (a.k.a. half-ops, hops, etc). Usually bots with special privileges (BBT).
# Users with '''&''', '''@''' or '''~''' beside their name are channel admin, operators and owner respectively. They are usually also members of the site staff, unless they're bots (BakaBT bot).
# Users with '''+''' beside their name are "voiced" users. Voice is a status given to users by half-operators or admins. Users voiced on #bakabt-support are users recognised by BakaBT staff to be helpful in the support channel. They may also be other VIPs, e.g. Rizon staff, so be nice :)
# Users with no symbol beside their names are (most likely) normal users.
# Normal users may offer help and advice with regards to fixing your ratio or finding good torrents to seed. However, only staff will be able to do anything about your account.
# Use '''!help''' to view a list of available commands. Commonly used ones include '''!help commands''' (available commands), '''!help rules''' (channel rules), '''!help FAQ''' (link to FAQ) and '''!help Wiki''' (link to Wiki), as well as any other commands that may have been added.

===What to do once you're in #bakabt-support===
<ol>
<li>Describe your problem in detail. The more you tell us about the problem, the more we are able to help.</li>
<li>Staff may not reply immediately (we're not always at immediate disposal so have some patience), but someone will talk to you in a while.</li>
<li>If no staff replies within 15 minutes, you probably caught us at a bad time (wait around, or come back again in 1-2 hours).</li>
</ol>

===What not to do in #bakabt-support===
<ol>
<li>Do not PM (private message) any staff members, unless they ask you to (usually to ask for more sensitive information, e.g. email address, that we need to help resolve your issue). If you do not know how to send a private message you can ignore this.</li>
<li>Do not try to help other users (unless you know what you're talking about) or try to impersonate staff. Annoying users will be banned from the support channel.</li>
<li>Do not yell at us like we're some customer service rep. We do not get paid for providing support, and will not tolerate verbal abuse.</li>
<li>Idling and lurking is not allowed. Users left idling or lurking will be kicked or banned from the support channel.</li>
</ol>

==Connecting to BakaBT==
'''Most guides here were made with ChatZilla in mind!'''

BakaBT uses the IRC server:
: '''irc.rizon.net'''
The main chatroom is:
: '''#BakaBT''' (not case sensitive)
And the support room is:
: '''#bakabt-support'''

===How to connect to #BakaBT===
* Start your IRC client
* Enter the Nickname you want into the bottom left button, beside the input bar.<
* Now, to join the server. Type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/server irc.rizon.net'''
* If your nickname hasn't been used yet (by you or another person), it will tell you the nickname needs to be registered.
:To do this, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/msg nickserv register your_password your_email'''
:Where "your_password" is the password you want, and "your_email" is your e-mail address.
* An activation code will be sent to your email address (used for registration). Read the email, type the command into IRC and your nickname will be registered (one nickname/group of nicknames per email address).
** Registration is not usually required to join a channel, but some channels explicitly require one (such as #BakaBT).
* The battle is done at this point! To connect to a channel, so you can talk to people, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/join #BakaBT'''

=== How to reconnect to #BakaBT===
* Start your IRC client
* Your Nickname should still be in your client, so leave that part alone.
* To join the server again, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/server irc.rizon.net'''
* Instead of asking you to register this time though, it will ask for your password. To do that, just type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password'''
:Just replace "password" with the password you gave when registering.
* Now, you can reconnect to the chat room by typing (or copy/paste) into the input bar:
:: '''/join #BakaBT'''

===How to auto-connect, auto-join and auto-identify===
To auto-connect a server, select the tab of the server you wish to auto-connect to in the future (you must have a window open assigned to that server in the first place!). Right click within the window, and select 'Open this network on startup'.

To auto-join a channel, select the tab of the channel you wish to auto-join in the future. Right click within the window and select 'Open this channel on startup'.

To auto-identify, go to the toolbar at the top, click ChatZilla -> Preferences -> Select the server in the panel on the left (in this case irc.rizon.net) -> click the 'Lists' tab -> Press 'Add...' in the Auto-perform section -> Fill in the following (remember to replace "password" with whatever your password is!): 
:: '''/msg nickserv identify "password"'''

===Connecting to different channels===
To connect to another channel when first starting up, just replace #BakaBT with the channel you want (like #bakabt-support). If you're already connected, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar: 
:: '''/join #channelname'''
Where "#channelname" is the channel-which-you-want-to-connect-to's name.

===HexChat===
HexChat is an IRC client that rivals the payed XChat as its open-source counterpart.

HexChat is a rename of the former XChat-WDK because its developers decided to include support for Linux and it's former name, WDK (which stands for the Windows Driver Kit), isn't appropriate for such task.

Both Windows and Linux versions are available on the download page of HexChat website
[http://www.hexchat.org/home/downloads http://www.hexchat.org/home/downloads].

* [http://www.hexchat.org HexChat Homepage]

===Irssi===
Irssi is a terminal-based IRC client for UNIX systems, with multi-server and plugin support. The learning curve is slightly steep, but it is highly flexible.
* [http://www.irssi.org/about Irssi About page]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irssi Irssi on Wikipedia]

===Colloquy===
Colloquy is a full-featured open source IRC client for the Macintosh, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
* [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquy_(IRC_client)/ Colloquy on Wikipedia]

===Pidgin===
Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging program. It supports many common IM protocols out of the box (such as Messenger, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.), and it also supports the IRC protocol.
* [http://pidgin.im/ Pidgin Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin_(software) Pidgin on Wikipedia]

===Miranda===
Similar to Pidgin is Miranda, also a multi-protocol instant messaging program for Windows.
* [http://www.miranda-im.org/ Miranda Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_IM Miranda on Wikipedia]

===Opera===
The Opera browser comes with an inbuilt IRC chat client. It's fairly similar to ChatZilla.
* [http://www.opera.com/ Opera Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_browser Opera on Wikipedia]

===Trillian===
Trillian is another multi-protocol instant messaging program, coming with IRC support as well. There are currently two available versions of Trillian: Basic and Pro. Both have IRC support, so there's no need to buy the Pro version.
* [http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/learn/ Trillian Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillian_(instant_messenger) Trillian on Wikipedia]

===XChat===
XChat is an IRC client that rivals mIRC not only in power but also in popularity.

It was originally completely free and open-source, but now it only remains free for Linux.

The Windows version is available to try at the homepage, while there is a version compiled by someone else (for free) called [http://hexchat.github.io HexChat].
Keep in mind that the latest official windows version is still many months behind the latest free release, and that the free windows version is compiled from enhanced Linux source (freely available), rather than the source used in official Windows releases, meaning that free compiled versions may function better than the official releases.
* [http://xchat.org/ XChat Homepage]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xchat XChat on Wikipedia]

===KVIrc===
Multisystem IRC Client with regular updates. QT instead of GTK as graphics library, so better visual integration on Windows compared to X-Chat.
*[http://www.kvirc.net/ KVIrc Homepage]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvirc KVIrc on Wikipedia]

===Mibbit Webchat===
For those who don't want to install more software on their computer, Mibbit is the solution. You can register an account to store all your servers and channels so you don't have to do it each time you go to the site, but you can always use it without an account.
*[http://mibbit.com/ Mibbit Homepage]
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mibbit Mibbit on Wikipedia]

===Rizon Webchat===
For even greater convenience, you can use Rizon's Webchat client. It only allows access to channels on irc.rizon.net, but if you're just looking for a quick way to get onto #BakaBT or #bakabt-support through a browser, this is your best bet.

Since the server is automatically set to irc.rizon.net, you can bypass the "/server" step in the instructions below.

If you are new to Bittorrent and/or the anime fansub scene, you should take a look at the [[For First Timers|Beginner's FAQ]] as well.

= Site information and Basic Help =

==What makes BakaBT different?==
There are many anime torrent sites but BakaBT is unique in the quality of our content. Our goal is to provide torrents [[Site Rules#Torrent Content Upload Guidelines|only for completed anime or anime-related material]] and [[How_to_make_an_offer#Is_your_offer_the_highest-quality_offer_around.3F|we pick only the best versions]]. We do not accept public submissions; only [[FAQ#User Classes|Power Users and Power Uploaders]] may do so.

All [[FAQ#Torrent Offer System|submissions are thoroughly checked]] before they are added to our [http://bakabt.me/browse.php ever-growing list of series]; by ''ever-growing'', we really mean ever-growing in the sense that even old torrents are still seeded. Our mantra in short: '''quality over quantity''', and '''ease-of-use'''.

Do keep in mind that BakaBT exists because of its users; old content is still available because of the many dedicated seeders who provide you with good download speeds, so [[Rules#Tracker Guidelines|returning the favour]] is a must.

Before you do anything here at BakaBT, we suggest you read the [[Rules]]! There are only a few rules to abide by and most are common sense.

==How do I...==

====Bookmark a torrent or remove a bookmarked torrent?====
Click on the star icon labelled 'Bookmark' next to the torrent title at the top of every torrent page. If the star icon appears grey, the torrent is not bookmarked; If it is yellow, the torrent is bookmarked.

On your userpage, the torrents you have bookmarked will show up under the 'Bookmarked' tab (below your 'Uploaded' tab).

====Add a torrent to my wishlist?====
Click on the scroll icon labelled 'Wishlist' next to the torrent title. If the scroll icon appears grey, the torrent is not in your wishlist; If the scroll appears blue, the torrent is in your wishlist.

On your userpage, the torrents you have put in your wishlist will show up under the 'Wishlist' tab (below your 'Bookmarked' tab).

====Get notified on torrent swaps and new comments for a torrent?====
Click on the bell icon labelled 'Notify me' next to the torrent title. If the bell icon appears grey, the torrent is not in your notify list; If the bell appears golden, the torrent is in your notify list.

On your userpage, the torrents you have put in your notify list will show up under the 'Notify' tab (below your 'Wishlist' tab).

====Report problems that I noticed?====
A report is a system message that informs staff members of issues that need attention. Staff members will deal with these issues as they see fit. Only Power users can use the report feature on the tracker.

::''Reporting Torrents''
::
::The report function brings a torrent or a comment to moderators' attention. Use this function if:
::# A torrent does not comply with [[Site Rules|site rules]] (e.g., if it is [[Blacklist|blacklisted material]])
::# It has corrupted files
::# The link is broken (i.e., you are unable to download the .torrent file)
::# Image links are broken (PM the uploader first; if you get no reply after a week then report it). Please note that a single broken image is not grounds for reporting, if all other images conform to the rules. Report if images are of wrong resolution, don't have subtitles or are in the wrong format.
::# A better version of the torrent exists (Note that we do allow XViD releases. TV fansubs are allowed alongside DVD rips with only R1 subtitles). Please link us to the newer torrent in that case.
::# Other torrent-related problems (e.g. groupings not set or incorrectly set)
::# Reporting a torrent for unrelated reasons will incur warnings; and bans will be issued if abuse continues. In other words, don't report a torrent just because you don't like the user, or because you are having trouble getting a good download speed on it.
::
::To report a torrent, click on the exclamation mark icon labelled 'Report' next to the torrent title. If the exclamation mark icon appears grey, the torrent has not been reported; If the exclamation mark appears red, the torrent has been reported (by you or someone else).

::''Reporting Comments''
::
::Report comments if:
::# They are abusive or contribute to flaming.
::# They constitute useless spam (such as 'seed this' or 'approve this').
::# They contain unhidden spoilers for the anime.
::# They flout any of the [[Rules#Tracker Guidelines|tracker guidelines]].
::
::To report a comment, click on the exclamation mark icon labelled 'Report' next to the 'Quote' button in the upper-right corner of the comment box. If the icon is labelled 'REPORTED' in capital letters, the comment has been reported to site staff and will be dealt with soon.

::''Reporting Forum Posts''
::
::Report forum posts if:
::# They are abusive or contribute to flaming.
::# They contain unhidden spoilers for the anime.
::# They flout any of the [[Rules#Forum Guidelines|forum guidelines]].
::
::The report link for forum posts is at the bottom-right corner of each forum post.

::''Reporting Stat-Hackers''
::
::If you find people with downright impossible torrent statistics, post a link to their userpage in [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=10172.0 this forum thread] and include a reason for suspicion.

::''Reporting Site Errors''
::
::Errors you get with site behaviour (especially if you get error messages) can be reported in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=14438.0 Site Errors forum thread]. Read the first post and do a quick search before reporting; someone might have reported the problem already.

::''Other Reports''

::Reports regarding other things (that do not have a proper reporting channel) may be reported using the [http://bakabt.me/help.php help form]. '''Do not abuse this feature'''.

==Why is some content on the blacklist?==
The [[Blacklist#Torrent Content Upload Guidelines]] are self-explanatory. We are quite specific about the kind of animation we archive, and also require that they meet certain quality standards.

Stuff on the [[Blacklist#Material not allowed on BakaBT|blacklist]] is there because it is liable to get BakaBT into *trouble*.

==What information about me does BakaBT store? Is it secure?==

We store your account information used for registration. your email is hidden from other users, and only shown to site staff.

The amount of upload and download you get on each torrent, as well as your total upload and download, is stored permanently by the server until your account is deleted. These upload and download statistics will always be shown wherever relevant. Torrent stats will be shown in peerlists (if you appear in them), and in your userpage under the relevant columns (if you chose not to hide them).

Information about torrents that you are leeching and/or seeding, as well as torrents you have leeched and/or seeded, are stored on the server. If you have enabled privacy settings, only information for the past 30 days will be kept. If privacy settings are disabled, all prior information is stored on the server.

=Account information=

====How many accounts am I allowed to have?====

One. Ever. You are only allowed a single account in your lifetime. What would you do with more than one account anyway?
Users who are found with more than one account will have the newest ones disabled and warnings issued. Repeated attempts to create new accounts will result in permanent bans of all accounts from our site.

====Can my friends and family use their account on the same computer?====

This is highly discouraged, as the system will identify both of you as [[Account Restrictions#Why was my account disabled?|multi-account]] users.

====What do you do about stat-hackers?====

Permanent ban, no appeal. See [[For First Timers#Why Stat-Hacking on BakaBT is a Losing Proposition|Why Stat-Hacking on BakaBT is a Losing Proposition]] for more information.

==Registration and Login==

====I registered an account but did not receive the confirmation e-mail!====

Mail can sometimes take up to half a day to be sent out by our server. Please be patient. 
Remember to check your '''spam/trash/etc.''' folder in case our confirmation mail doesn't appear in your Inbox. 
If the mail is nowhere to be found, drop by [irc://irc.rizon.net/bakabt-support #bakabt-support] on [[IRC]] to ask for further assistance.

Alternatively, try another email address ([http://www.gmail.com GMail] accounts tend to see the most success so far). 
Accounts registered using 'disposable' email accounts will be rejected by the server, so do not use those. Get a proper email account.

If you registered for an account and got the confirmation email, but decided you don't like the username you picked, leave the email alone (do not click the confirmation link). Unconfirmed accounts are removed after 3 days so you can try again with a different username.

====Help! I cannot login!? (a.k.a. Login of Death)====

'''See:''' [[Troubleshooting#I Can't log in|Troubleshooting: Login Issues]]

Another solution is to visit your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page].

====I've lost my user name or password! Can you send it to me?====

Use [http://bakabt.me/recover.php this form] to have the login details mailed back to you (Or click "Lost Password?" beside the login field).

====Can you change my username or rename my account?====

Users can request their '''tracker account''' renamed in our support channel [irc://irc.rizon.net/bakabt-support #bakabt-support] only once. You are required to state a valid reason for your request, otherwise it will be rejected. Using your real name in your nick is a valid reason; getting tired of your old name is not.

'''Forum usernames''' are not renamed.

Note that if your tracker account is renamed, members might have trouble identifying you later (different tracker account name & forum username).

Also the users cannot request existing account names so please check availability before asking.

====Forum registration is closed, what do I do?====
Your main site account and forum account are linked. However, your forum account needs to be activated via your main site account. To do this, go to your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings] page and scroll down to the checkbox that says "'''Enable Forum Account'''". Check the box, enter your password in the "Change password field" twice and click "'''Submit Changes'''". Your forum account will then be active.

=====How do I verify if my forum account is active?=====
There are 2 ways to verify if you've successfully activated your forum account:
* After you've enabled the account and saved the changes, the checkbox next to the '''"Enable Forum Account"''' field will remain checked and greyed out, followed with "Forum account enabled".
* Alternatively you can double-check by clicking the Forum account link from your profile page. If you've activated it successfully you'll see your Forum Profile page, otherwise you'll encounter the following error: "The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist."

=====I've confirmed I've activated my account, but every time I try to log in I get the "Wrong Password"=====
If you are certain you've followed all the steps correctly and have not simply mistyped your password, please use the [http://bakabt.me/help.php Help Form] to explain your issue and we'll provide you with assistance as soon as possible.

==Account Pruning and Deletion==

====Will my account still exist if I don't use it for a while?====

Accounts are pruned after 11 months of disuse (i.e. not logging into the '''tracker account'''). Accounts with 0 download and 0 upload are pruned earlier. (See also: "[[Account_Restrictions#Forum_Bans|Forum Account]]").

Donator accounts (people who've donated to BakaBT and received a donator status) have the option of disabling inactivity pruning, and safeguarding their account for as long as they choose. The option is disabled by default, and can be found in your settings page.

====My account is gone! Can you recover it?====

{{:pruned}}

====New account creation====

Normal registration is not available at this time. We're moving to an invite based system and are conducting interviews to hand out invites at the moment. (See also: "[https://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php/Sign_up#Getting_invited Sign up]").

====I don't want my account anymore. Can you delete it?====

Leave your account alone and it will be pruned after 11 months (See: "[[FAQ#Will my account still exist if I don't use it for a while?|Will my account still exist if I don't use it for a while?]]").

==User Classes==

See: "[[Account Restrictions|Warnings, Suspensions and Bans]]"

::'''I got warned but my hard drive crashed/ I got a virus/ Computer got thrown out of window/ Dog ate my homework/ Nobody really likes to leech my hentai/ etc so I lost all my files so I can't seed. Please unwarn me so I can download something to seed...'''
::
::If you racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt on a credit card and then suddenly lost your main source of income, do you think the credit card company is going to let you off with a debt writeoff (or even reactivate your card for more spending)?
::
::You got yourself into that situation, you'll have to [[For First Timers#Fixing Your Ratio|pull yourself out of it]].

::'''But I've turned over a new leaf, and I am now a dedicated seeder who will keep his/her torrents running 24/7. Please unwarn me.'''
::
::If you have indeed turned over a new leaf, prove it by fixing your ratio. We've [[For First Timers#Fixing Your Ratio|outlined a few ways for you to do so]].

==Privacy==

====Why is my IP displayed on my details page?====

Only you and the site staff can view your IP address and email. Other users cannot see that information.

====How do I hide torrents on my userpage?====

You can edit statistics display level through the [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page], in the '''User page''' tab.

====Does BakaBT store information on the things I download?====

Yes. This is a statistics-tracking site after all, so we store as much information as is needed to implement the features you find on this site. You can [[FAQ#How do I hide torrents on my userpage?|hide your torrent statistics]], but no requests for deletion of data from our database will be entertained.

'''Cause:''' 
You are '''not''' even looking in the right place to find what the error actually is.

''Solution:'' 
Find the trackers tab in your client, and see what status message is displayed next to the tracker url. Now you can troubleshoot further by referring to torrent error messages.

|width="50%"|
'''Cause #1:''' 
The tracker can not find a user associated with the [[FAQ#How is my traffic tracked?|torrent pass]] you're sending it in your announce URL.

''Solution:'' 
Log in to your BakaBT account and re-download the torrent from the site.

'''Cause #2:''' 
The torrent is using an expired public key. Note: Public key is only valid until the end of the month.

''Solution:'' 
Re-download the torrent file from the site.

''Solution:'' 
Check if the tracker is momentarily offline, you can see the tracker status in the topic title on [http://bakabt.me/webirc.php #BakaBT] channel. If it is down, there is nothing you can do except to wait for it to come back up. Leave your client running and stats will update correctly after the tracker is back online. If you stop torrents while it's down, they won't update.

If the tracker seems to be online and you're still having the problem, drop by the support channel at [http://bakabt.me/webirc.php #bakabt-support] and we'll try to see what the problem actually is.

==Common Torrent-related Problems==

===Well known site errors===

Errors in this section are considered to be well known. This means, other members have reported the error before and BakaBT experts are working to solve the problem or the problem is just temporary. Unless otherwise stated, you don't need to report the error again.

====Some torrents on my userpage are listed in wrong tabs====

You might see your torrents listed on the tabs where it is not supposed to be, this is a known bug.
Examples:
# Missing, appearing/disappearing torrents in tabs.
# Torrents not in correct tabs
# Torrents listed in multiple tabs

====I've finished or cancelled a torrent. Why is it still listed in my userpage?====

Some older clients do not report properly to the tracker when cancelling or finishing a torrent. In that case the tracker will keep waiting for the message - and thus listing the torrent as seeding or leeching - until the peer information timeout occurs. Just ignore it, it should go away after a few hours.

====I am seeing torrents on my userpage that I never downloaded / Someone has hijacked my account====

'''Cause #1:''' People are using your torrent key (you accidentally posted your [[FAQ#How is my traffic tracked?|torrent key]] publicly) 
'''Cause #2:''' You hot-linked to a .torrent file that is tagged with your passkey 
'''Cause #3:''' You posted a screenshot of your torrent program with your passkey visible 
'''Cause #4:''' You revealed your torrent passkey to one or more people 
'''Cause #5:''' You uploaded a .torrent file that has your passkey to another tracker. 
'''Cause #6:''' You sent a .torrent file that has your passkey to a friend, or hotlinked the torrent download button to him.

''Solution:'' Go to your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page] and generate a new key. All your old torrents will become invalid immediately, so you will have to re-download your torrents. Wait about 10-20 minutes to be sure the tracker has recorded your key change before resuming your torrenting.

To prevent similar issues occurring in future, do not hot-link to our torrent files (only link to the description page), and do not post your personal .torrent file (the one you download when logged in) to other trackers.

====I'm uploading or downloading some torrents but I don't see them on my userpage====

'''Cause:''' You downloaded a public torrent.

''Solution:'' Log in and re-download the torrent.

====My stats are not updating. What can I do?====

Check that the torrent pass in your client's tracker announce URL matches the one shown on your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page]. If it doesn't (or if it does, but you're still having problems), then: Remove the torrent entries from your torrent client. Re-download the .torrent files and open them in your client. Force a hash recheck and resume activity.

If that doesn't help, go to your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page] and regenerate your torrent pass. Wait about 10-20 minutes to be sure the tracker has recorded your key change, then repeat the above step. Use only official non-beta clients.

====Site stats are different compared to my BitTorrent Client for some torrents====

Your BitTorrent client is responsible for reporting the torrent upload/download statistics data to the tracker. This data is transmitted in pre-determined intervals (i.e. 30mins) and is incremental which means only the upload/download amount during that period (or successful tracker connections) is sent to the tracker. This mechanism is defined by the BitTorrent Protocol and is not specific to BakaBT. Statistics accuracy is important and is ensured by limiting the BitTorrent clients allowed trough the BakaBT BitTorrent Client Whitelist. The data collected trough the tracker is then reflected to your statistics page on the BakaBT site.

Under normal circumstances, this mechanism works as intended and your statistics for any torrent will be properly sent to the tracker by your BitTorrent client and you will see similar stats on your client and the BakaBT stats page.

However, the following events can prevent this mechanism from working properly

# client loses internet connectivity during seeding/leeching (uploading/downloading) and is closed prior to re-establishing a connection
# client crashes due to an error or you forcefully terminate it
# client cannot connect to the tracker despite retries (it will continue its P2P activity with the last successful peer list received)
# tracker might be down for an unknown period of time
# your ISP is intervening with your connection to the tracker by manipulating packets
# administrative operations on the tracker/site software (data restore, upgrades)

Due to these events, your statistics for a given torrent can be below what you expect it to be.
Most BitTorrent clients will transmit the statistics data in the next successful connection when a tracker connection cannot be established immediately given that they are not closed.

=== How is my traffic tracked? ===

BakaBT uses a passkey system to identify each user. Your passkey can be found on your [http://bakabt.me/settings.php settings page]. When you announce, your passkey is used to identify you and to (very accurately) track your upload and download traffic, regardless of any IP changes. The passkey is automatically added to the announce URL of every torrent you download whilst logged in. '''YOU MUST NEVER, EVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSKEY TO ANY OTHER PERSON.''' Doing so will result in [[FAQ#I am seeing torrents on my userpage that I never downloaded / Someone has hijacked my account|undesirable outcomes]]. We will not help to fix any bad ratios caused by user's negligence of the security of their torrent passkey.

===What are bonus torrents?===
Bonus torrents are torrents with few seeders or few leechers, the idea of the bonus system is to keep older torrents alive. Bonus torrents are marked with bonus torrent icon [[File:Bonus_icon.jpg]]. When you seed a bonus torrent (and have 100% complete file) you will earn 1 bonus point per hour per bonus torrent. You cannot earn more than 10 bonus points per hour even if you are seeding more than 10 bonus torrents at a time. Note that bonus points can be earned more reliably and much faster through [[FAQ#Torrent_Adoption_System|adoptions]].

Bonus points can be exchanged for upload credit on the [http://bakabt.me/bonus.php bonus page] (this means you can add an amount onto your 'uploaded' stat on your user page).

Bonus status depends on the number of seeders as well as the seeder-to-leecher ratio, and a few other factors. And since the number of seeders and leechers on a torrent can change, a torrent can gain or lose bonus status as well.

Bonus status is checked and updated every hour.

=== Best practices ===

If a torrent you are currently leeching or seeding is not listed on your userpage, stop the torrent and resume it again. (also see: [[FAQ#I am seeing torrents on my userpage that I never downloaded / Someone has hijacked my account|I'm uploading or downloading some torrents but I don't see them on my userpage]]) Make sure you exit your client properly, so that the tracker receives the required information.If the tracker is down, do not stop seeding. Your traffic may not be tracked during downtime but as soon as the tracker is working again then your traffic will be tracked again.

=== What BitTorrent clients can I use? ===

See: "[[BT_Clients|Bittorrent Clients]]"

=== Can I upload your torrents to other trackers? ===
Yes. However, only post the public torrent files to other trackers, do not post the .torrent file you downloaded when logged in (otherwise [[FAQ#I am seeing torrents on my userpage that I never downloaded / Someone has hijacked my account|these things]] might happen). In other words, create a new .torrent file if you intend to upload it to other trackers.

(Of course, the torrent files you download through your torrent client are yours to do as you please.)

==Using BakaBT from multiple machines==

====Can I login from different computers/IPs?====

Yes. But you are advised not to log in at the computer of another BakaBT user; the system may identify you as a multi-account user.

See also: "[[Account Restrictions#Why was my account disabled?|Why was my account disabled?]]"

====Can I seed from different computers/IPs?====

Yes, '''but you may not seed the ''same'' torrent from two different computers/IPs''' as the tracker will not understand how you can be in two places at once, and doing so may cause problems. In the worst case, you may be auto-banned by the tracker.

==Freeleech==

===What is Freeleech?===

'''[F]''' symbol is used to indicate that a torrent is subject to '''Freeleech'''.

When a torrent is flagged with this symbol, it means leeching that torrent will not affect your download amount and will not decrease your ratio. Meanwhile seeding that torrent will continue to improve your ratio and will increase your upload amount. This is an excellent way to improve your ratio.

Torrents with specific type of content ([http://bakabt.me/browse.php?only=1&hd=1&reorder=1&q=1080p 1080p torrents], [http://bakabt.me/browse.php?only=1&c7=1&reorder=1 Artbooks], [http://bakabt.me/browse.php?only=1&c8=1&reorder=1 Music Videos], and [http://bakabt.me/browse.php?ordertype=size&only=0&reorder=1&q=&order=1 torrents smaller than 100 MB]) are subject to Freeleech, this is to promote their distribution.

'''Important:''' Warned members can not benefit from Freeleech, as they are not allowed to leech.

'''Note:''' This behavior is controlled by the BakaBT tracker, this means as long as the torrent is flagged with '''[F]''', you can benefit from this feature during leeching even if you have downloaded the torrent file before it is flagged.

====How often does global freeleech happen?====

Almost never. Don't ask us when it will be happening because we will ignore you.

====The tracker went down. What do I do?====

You wait until the tracker comes back up.

====Why did the tracker go down?====

Imagine that you and a friend are working at a restaurant. All of a sudden 130,000+ people come into the restaurant and demand 10+ meals each. Obviously the restaurant can't handle that load and eventually shuts down. During its downtime, it will catch up on orders and eventually re-open. Same principle here, when too many people connect to the server, the server may become overloaded and shut down. Be patient, eventually the server will come back up.

====What shouldn't I do?====

* Do not Manually spam updates on the tracker. It will not help you connect faster; on the contrary, it puts extra strain on the server and may cause more downtime. That means you will not be able to enjoy the full benefits of the freeleech period.
* Do not leech only. Part of the purpose of freeleech is to help you improve your ratio. It would be foolish if you leeched and don't seed.

=Downloading/Seeding and Connection Issues=

==Common Questions==

====What's the difference between seeding and uploading?====

''Uploading'' is posting a new torrent to our tracker, where it will appear on the [http://bakabt.me/offer.php Offered] or [http://bakabt.me/browse.php Browse] pages.

''Seeding'' is uploading data to other users on a torrent after you have completed the download.

====I don't see the leeching, seeding, seeded torrent tabs in my stats page (anymore)====
As of September 29th, 2010 those tabs have been removed. You can see the torrents you are seeding/leeching on the ''Active'' tab.

The BitTorrent protocol and clients are not designed to report the individual torrent status information in a way that the previous separate tabs mechanism could work as expected.

====I have leeched/downloaded the torrents but some torrents won't seed====

''Leeching'' a torrent requires seeders and the number of seeders generally determine how fast you can leech a torrent, higher the number of seeders - higher the download speed. Unfortunately this becomes a problem when you finish downloading the torrent and afterwards intend to seed it back because if there are too many seeders and no (or a small number of) ''leechers'' when you are seeding you won't get a chance to seed.

An option is to continue seeding those torrents as much as possible and wait for the ratio for that torrent to reach 1.5 or alternatively you can download other torrent with more potential to ''seed'' (popular torrents with many ''leechers'')

See also [[FAQ#Freeleech|Freeleech Torrents]]

====I have some files on my computer, how do I seed them or upload them to BakaBT?====

See: "[[FAQ#I've finished downloading the files, so how do I seed back?|I've finished downloading the files, so how do I seed back?]]" and "[[FAQ#Why can't I offer new torrents?|Why can't I offer new torrents?]]"

====Why do I have to wait before I can download a new torrent?====

When new torrents are uploaded, those with Power User (or higher) status are given 'first dibs'. By virtue of their good share ratio we trust that these users will stick around to help seed the torrent after they benefit from having exclusive access to the initial seeders. Other users must wait for the timer to expire before they can download the .torrent file.

The amount of time you have to wait is proportional to the size of the torrent (the larger the torrent, the longer you have to wait). This is to encourage more people to become Power Users, and to build up a larger seed base before other users are permitted to join the swarm.

====Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear?====
# The torrent may have been replaced by a superior offer.
# The uploader may have requested for its deletion, with an acceptable reason(s).
# The torrent was requested to be removed by a 3rd party (usually in the form of a cease-and-desist letter).

It happens from time to time and we regret that no alerts will be given prior to deletion. If this is unacceptable, we suggest that you get your files from other public trackers (such as Anirena, Minglong or Nyaa) instead, where torrents are less likely to be removed.

====What is a torrent passkey?====

See: [[FAQ#How is my traffic tracked?|How is my traffic tracked?]]

====I lost all my files, and I can't download or seed, help!====

See: [[For First Timers#Fixing Your Ratio|Fixing Your Ratio]]

==Connectivity and Speed Issues==

If your question falls under any of these categories:
# Cannot access BakaBT
# Port number is '---'/other port-related issues
# Proxying and proxies
# Dynamic/static IPs and NAT
# Slow downloading/uploading

Kindly refer to the [[Troubleshooting]] section for more information.

==Torrenting Issues==

====I can't leech/seed a torrent====

If the BakaBT tracker is preventing you from leeching/seeding a torrent, it will inform your client in the form of error messages through the trackers tab/pane. Look at the tracker status and refer to [[FAQ#Common Torrent Error Messages]]

====I'm having trouble with this Bittorrent program, something's wrong with it====

Do a search in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?board=7.0 Help section of the forums], and see if someone else has faced the same issue.

If yours is a unique case, make a new post in the same section. Give clear and detailed information, and include links to the torrents you are having trouble with.

''Note: We only provide help for [[BT Clients#Whitelist|whitelisted torrent clients]]. Support for other clients will not be provided.

====What do I do if a torrent has no seeds?====

Hop on the forums and post in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?board=5.0 Reseed Request] section. Be sure to read the rules before posting.

====I've finished downloading the files, so how do I seed back?====

See: "[[For First Timers#Seeding|Seeding]]"

====What are these "a piece has failed a hash check" messages?====

BitTorrent clients check the data they receive for integrity. When a piece fails this check it is automatically re-downloaded. Occasional hash fails are a common occurrence, and you shouldn't worry.

Some clients have an (advanced) option/preference to 'kick/ban clients that send you bad data' or similar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces that fail the hash check it will be ignored in the future.

====The torrent is supposed to be 100MB. How come I downloaded 120MB?====

See: [[FAQ#What are these "a piece has failed a hash check" messages?|What are these "a piece has failed a hash check" messages?]]
If your client receives bad data it will have to redownload it, therefore the total downloaded may be larger than the torrent size. Make sure the "kick/ban" option is turned on to minimize the extra downloads.

====What's this "IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied" error?====

If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise, see "[[Troubleshooting#What.27s_this_IOError_-_Error13_Permission_denied_error.3F|What's this "IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied" error?]]".

====Downloading or seeding is slow! How do I speed it up?====

See: "[[Troubleshooting#Speed Issues|Troubleshooting: Speed Issues]]".

= Torrent Offers and Adoptions =

== Torrent Offer System ==

====What does 'New' mean?====
Newly offered torrents are not registered with the tracker until they are approved. Until then, they will not be available for download. 
The time it takes for torrent approval varies and is dependent upon many different factors, so a reliable estimate cannot be given.

====What does 'Semi-approved' mean?====

Offers require the approval of two staff members before they are added to the tracker. 'Semi-approved' is the state an offer acquires when at least one staff member has granted it, but it is pending further approval.

====What is 'On hold' status?====

Pending notification for all offers that require more work. On hold status is usually followed with a reason. 
Offers on hold are no longer counted on the 'Offered' page.

====Why can't I offer new torrents?====

Only Power Users can make new torrent offers, which will be granted or rejected by staff. Torrents offered by staff members and Power Uploaders are added to the torrent pool directly without going through the approval procedure.
Non-Power Users can not make offers.

====Is there a limit to the amount of offers I can make?====

As a Power User you can offer a maximum of 5 torrents. When that limit has been reached you'll have to wait for staff to inspect one of your pending offers.

====Why are rejected torrents in the Recently rejected section?====

For rejected torrents, we will prune them after a minimum of 7 days, maximum of 30 days on the "recently rejected" list. While the torrents are in the recently rejected list, it will still occupy a slot on the uploader's account. Please refrain from asking the admins or mods to prune the torrents before time.

====I have another question related to torrents and offers====

If it is any of the following questions:
# What can I offer/not offer to BakaBT?
# I have files that I would like to upload, how do I upload them here?
# What should I put in the description?
# How should I name my files?
# What are good keywords for my torrent?
# Why does it say "This torrent contains improper files, please swap the torrent file" on the torrent page?
# What are "extra files" and what should I add?
# How do I attach extra files?
# What should I put in my torrents?
# What is this torrent swapping feature?

Kindly see: "[[How to make an offer]]"

== Torrent Adoption System ==

====Why should I adopt a torrent?====

You adopt because the (faulty) description of a torrent does not sit right with you, and you have the irresistible urge to fix it, put it right and provide accurate information for future users of BakaBT who will chance upon said torrent.

''Note: The adopter effectively becomes the new owner of the torrent. As such, he/she is expected to carry out the usual duties of the torrent owner. They'll be responsible for re-seeding the torrent if it dies (so adopters must have the torrent files), keep descriptions up to date, and make torrent swaps where necessary. Torrent adopting is not stamp-collecting.''

''Note 2: Many users are under a false impression that adopting torrents will inadvertently fix your ratio or give you freeleech right even if you are warned. This is '''false'''. Only seeding can increase your ratio, and by adopting you are assumed to already have the files you planning to adopt and therefore seed.''

====What should I do to ensure that my adoption request will be granted?====

* Submit a proper reason for adoption. Tell us what you are going to fix, what you will add, what you will do with the torrent. If the reason for adoption is "I will fix the torrent", we're not likely to be convinced. Look at the checklist below for things that you need to point out in your request.
* It helps if you have a portfolio.
** Users who consistently submit good torrent descriptions (by adopting, or making torrent offers) will obviously be trusted more than users without said portfolio. So if you already have torrents in your ''Uploaded'' tab, do take a look at them and work on those first before adopting new torrents.
** If you are a new user with no prior experience do not worry, we will sit you through the description-editing process and help you bring it up to speed, all you need is a willingness to learn and dedication to the adoption process.
* Seed the torrent. While owners are not expected to seed the torrent files 24/7, being a seed on the peerlist gives us the assurance that you have the files are will be able to re-seed the torrent as and when the need arises.

====That sounds complicated, can you help me?====

In general, we will give advice when needed, but first you should check out this [[Adoptions_for_Dummies|guide]]. It covers most of what you'll ever need!

====Bonus points bounty for a successful adoption====

Upon successful completion of an adoption, depending on the work you've invested, you'll either get 1/10th of the bounty (for minimal or no changes, if none are required), the full bounty, 1.5 x the bounty for a really good job, or 2.5 x the bounty for excellent work. The amount you receive is, of course, at the supervising mod's discretion.

====What if I want to replace the torrent files with a better, superior version?====

[http://bakabt.me/upload.php Make a new torrent offer], and add a comment, giving the URL of the torrent you wish to replace. The adoption system is meant for fixing torrents, not replacing them.

= Is there an RSS feed available for BakaBT? =

RSS Feeds are only available for Power Users. You will see the RSS Feed link appear when you become one.

To get fast updates on newly approved torrents alternatively you can join [irc://irc.rizon.net/BakaBT #BakaBT] where all new approvals are announced by our bot.

= Can I add an RSS feed in my torrent client? =

No. RSS feature is purely for informative purpose, automatic torrent leeching via RSS is not supported.

= How can I get an avatar on the Blog? =

Wordpress has its own Avatar-System with which you can have the same avatar on all Wordpress-Blogs you have an account on.

For this you have to go to [http://www.gravatar.com/ Gravatar] and sign up with your e-mail address with which you created your account on the blog
Wait for the e-mail with the activation-key, click on the link and enter the needed information.

After logging in click on "Add one by clicking here", choose the location of the avatar and resize the box to fit your avatar.
Now you only have to choose a rating for it and you are finished.

= What if I can't find the answer to my problem here? =

So, after reading all that, you still can't find a solution? Read on. Post in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/ forums], by all means. You'll find it's a friendly and helpful place, '''provided you follow a few basic guidelines''':
* You might have missed a few wiki pages. Did you know we also have the following wiki pages?
# [[Site Rules]]
# [[For First Timers|Beginner's FAQ]]
# [[Troubleshooting]]
# [[Account Restrictions]]
# [[How to make an offer]]
# [[Format Preferences|What we allow on BakaBT]]
* Make sure your problem has not been answered in this FAQ. There's no point in posting just to be sent back here amidst a torrent of angry remarks telling you not to waste other people's time.
* Before posting, '''read the stickied topics''' (the ones at the top of each subforum page). Many times, new information that still hasn't been incorporated in the FAQ can be found there.
* Help us in helping you. Do '''not''' just say "it doesn't work!". Provide details so that we don't have to guess or waste time asking. What client do you use? What's your OS? What's your network setup? What's the exact error message you get, if any? What are the torrents you are having problems with? The more details you give the easier it will be for us, and the more likely your post will get a useful reply, as opposed to a reply that just asks for more information.
* PLEASE make an effort to make your posts readable. There is nothing worse than trying to decipher a post that looks like it was written by someone mashing their face on the keyboard. Perfect spelling isn't necessary, but basic grammar and punctuation definitely helps.
* ... and needless to say: be polite. Demanding help rarely works. Asking nicely for it usually does the trick.
* '''DO NOT''' send a private message to a staff member. If you don't wish to post in the forums, use [http://bakabt.me/help.php the help form] instead, or ask on the [[IRC|IRC channel]].
* To prove that you have read this FAQ before seeking help, please quote the words 'Amorphous Plate Wiggle' in your post. We are quite serious. Failure to do so will result in your thread being locked immediately or your help request being ignored. This phrase is subject to change.

BT clients

2025-04-30T21:49:25Z

Theworm4002: /* qBittorrent */

A '''''BitTorrent client''''' is computer software that utilizes the BitTorrent P2P protocol to download and upload data. The original BitTorrent client was released in 2002 by Bram Cohen. Since then, many different clients have developed, all of which are at least partially based on the original BitTorrent client.

=BitTorrent Clients=
'''The full list (most up-to-date version) is viewable at http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php.''' 

Check there if in doubt; this page will be updated at infrequent intervals to match the main page.

Some BitTorrent clients can be configured to notify their users when a newer version/build is available. Keep in mind to check the whitelist in case of a version change, especially in case of an upgrade offer to BETA versions.

If you have good reason to add a BitTorrent client not listed below, kindly post in [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Excessive whining and complaining is not going to help your case.

Please include the torrent client name and version number. Versions that are too old or in early beta (this includes Release Candidates - RC) will not be considered (unless you have a '''really good reason''', in which case you are expected to defend your choice without us having to ask).

Before you ask why a torrent client is blacklisted, read [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Your question has already been answered there.

==Whitelist==
Whitelist of clients generally allowed to be used with the BakaBT tracker.
*More up to date list can be found [http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php here].
*If your preferred client/version is not in this list you can appeal at the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469 "Request to add clients to the whitelist" thread].
*If a whitelisted client has been updated (and no one has reported that new version yet), you can report it in the [https://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=44098.0 "Report *new* whitelisted client versions" thread]. DO NOT report a new version again if someone else has already reported it!

====Vuze (Azureus)====
;[http://www.vuze.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 4.x, 5.x (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* One of the most preferred clients on BakaBT. This client has recently changed name to Vuze from its old name Azureus.
* What Vuze is unique for is its community part, which allows you to share torrents easily with your friends.
* While this client is very rich in features, it is written in Java, which makes it slow by nature, and is quite a memory hog. Despite these enormous flaws, it is still one of the best.
* Development has been stalled for a while. BiglyBT is continueing with the Vuze codebase while removing some of the less popular/annoying things, such as ads. '''It might be sensible to switch to.
'''

====BitTornado====
;[http://www.bittornado.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 0.3.x (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* Client developed by John Hoffman. This client was the first to include [[super seeding]]. This client automatically bans connections with [http://www.bitcomet.com/ BitComet] clients.

====BitTorrent (Mainline, Official)====
* The official BitTorrent client, nicknamed ''Mainline'' by developers.
* Due to a major security problem no versions of BitTorrent are whitelisted anymore. See [https://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=47778.0 here] for more info.

====BiglyBT====
; [https://www.biglybt.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
* BiglyBT is the continuation of the Vuze/Azureus open source project first created in 2003.

====Deluge====

BT clients

2025-04-30T21:48:53Z

Theworm4002: /* qBittorrent */

A '''''BitTorrent client''''' is computer software that utilizes the BitTorrent P2P protocol to download and upload data. The original BitTorrent client was released in 2002 by Bram Cohen. Since then, many different clients have developed, all of which are at least partially based on the original BitTorrent client.

=BitTorrent Clients=
'''The full list (most up-to-date version) is viewable at http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php.''' 

Check there if in doubt; this page will be updated at infrequent intervals to match the main page.

Some BitTorrent clients can be configured to notify their users when a newer version/build is available. Keep in mind to check the whitelist in case of a version change, especially in case of an upgrade offer to BETA versions.

If you have good reason to add a BitTorrent client not listed below, kindly post in [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Excessive whining and complaining is not going to help your case.

Please include the torrent client name and version number. Versions that are too old or in early beta (this includes Release Candidates - RC) will not be considered (unless you have a '''really good reason''', in which case you are expected to defend your choice without us having to ask).

Before you ask why a torrent client is blacklisted, read [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Your question has already been answered there.

==Whitelist==
Whitelist of clients generally allowed to be used with the BakaBT tracker.
*More up to date list can be found [http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php here].
*If your preferred client/version is not in this list you can appeal at the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469 "Request to add clients to the whitelist" thread].
*If a whitelisted client has been updated (and no one has reported that new version yet), you can report it in the [https://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=44098.0 "Report *new* whitelisted client versions" thread]. DO NOT report a new version again if someone else has already reported it!

====Vuze (Azureus)====
;[http://www.vuze.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 4.x, 5.x (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* One of the most preferred clients on BakaBT. This client has recently changed name to Vuze from its old name Azureus.
* What Vuze is unique for is its community part, which allows you to share torrents easily with your friends.
* While this client is very rich in features, it is written in Java, which makes it slow by nature, and is quite a memory hog. Despite these enormous flaws, it is still one of the best.
* Development has been stalled for a while. BiglyBT is continueing with the Vuze codebase while removing some of the less popular/annoying things, such as ads. '''It might be sensible to switch to.
'''

====BitTornado====
;[http://www.bittornado.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 0.3.x (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* Client developed by John Hoffman. This client was the first to include [[super seeding]]. This client automatically bans connections with [http://www.bitcomet.com/ BitComet] clients.

====BitTorrent (Mainline, Official)====
* The official BitTorrent client, nicknamed ''Mainline'' by developers.
* Due to a major security problem no versions of BitTorrent are whitelisted anymore. See [https://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=47778.0 here] for more info.

====BiglyBT====
; [https://www.biglybt.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
* BiglyBT is the continuation of the Vuze/Azureus open source project first created in 2003.

= Account Creation =
==Registration==

Normal Registration is not available at this time. We have moved to an invite-based system.

==I had an account with you before! It was pruned==

{{:Pruned}}

==Getting invited==
====How do I get invited?====
There are currently two ways to get invited to BakaBT.
# Get invited by a user in good standing.
# Pass a staff interview.

===Interviews===
====Interview times====
*There is no schedule for interviews. They are currently done at random.

====Interview location====
*Interviews are conducted on IRC, so follow our [[IRC|guide]] to find your way there.
*The Invite channel is ''' ''#bakabt-invites'' '''. Type ''' ''<nowiki>/join #bakabt-invites</nowiki>'' ''' to join
*Once in the channel type '''!queue''' , other commands are '''!queueStatus''' and '''!help'''
*Wait until you are invited to an interview channel. If necessary type '''/join''' ''#channel'' (e.g. #bakabt-invite-259)

====This Interview scares me!====
*There's nothing to be afraid of. Most of the things we ask can be answered if you read through the more important pages of this very wiki.
*Important pages are the [[Site_Rules|Rules]], the [[FAQ|FAQ]], the [[BT_Clients|Whitelist]] and the [[DO_NOT_UPLOAD|Blacklist]].
*If you had an account with us before, don't be afraid to tell us.
*We don't require people to be on another private tracker.
*If you are on private trackers, prepare screenshots of your profile page showing both the site name and your ratio (you can hide sensitive information). The interviewer may ask for a link to your profile page.
*If you plan to offer content make sure to read up on [[How_to_make_an_offer|that]]. Planning to offer something won't save a failed interview, not wanting to offer something will NEVER ruin a passing grade, so just be honest about it.

====I messed up and used a host that's blocking you?====
*If you're still in the interview channel, ask for help.
*If you already left the channel, join us on our support channel on [[IRC]]

====I failed, what now?====
*If you actually read through all of the above and still failed: '''Congrats, that shouldn't be possible.'''
*In general it's really hard to fail
*I mean really...
*So you still failed? Reread the wiki, a bit more properly. Check for the questions you didn't do well in. Try again the next day.

==I got invited, what now?==
====Signing up.====
*Picking a Username:
**When choosing your username use Roman/Romaji character font/type only.
*Picking an email:
**Yahoo/Protonmail/Gmail usually works best for receiving BakaBT emails.
*Using a VPN/Proxy:
**Should you plan to use a VPN while browsing the site, it would be a good idea to provide the following info in a staff pm, the VPN provider, and the country location of the server you plan to use.
*An activation email will be sent to that address. Activate your account as soon as possible.
*The activation email may take up to 10 minutes to arrive.
*Make sure you are using an email provider we listed and check your spam folder.

=Torrent Content Upload Guidelines=
We only accept '''complete''', Anime/manga-related Series/Movies/OVAs/printed materials. We also allow Live Action adaptations (of anime/manga and related games/eroge/visual novels).

The following content is '''not allowed''' to be uploaded (offers will be rejected):
* Loli/shota material*
* Anything on the 4 [[DO NOT UPLOAD]] lists below.
* Video files without subtitles
** May only be added if subtitles are not needed (no dialog) or if permission to upload it is given (ask in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?board=4.0 Uploaders' Forum] first)
* Releases without Japanese audio, unless:
** The original language is not Japanese (e.g. Afro Samurai)
** There is no other version available (i.e. for very rare titles)
* Incomplete series
** Complete seasons/story arcs may be allowed if the show/manga in question is very long (clarify in the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?board=4.0 Uploaders' Forum] first)
** We will consider allowing incomplete manga up to the end of the latest story arc if the manga is at least 10 volumes long OR 5 years old.
* Fan-made material '''including doujinshi''' (artbooks and manga MUST be official). For more info and exceptions see [http://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php/Guide_to_Uploading_Manga here].
* Software, or any content that has to be installed.
* Content ripped from games (cinematic cut scenes, CG images, etc.)
* ISOs or any Disc Image Format (including direct DVD/BD/HDDVD-rips, direct remuxes and .ts/.m2ts files of anime).
* Archive files (zip, rar, 7z, gz, bz2, etc) are allowed only for manga.
** Manga torrents should be offered '''as released by the scanlation group'''.
** See also: [[How to make an offer#What should I put in my torrents?|What should I put in my torrents?]]
* Upscaled releases are ''strongly discouraged'', unless it is the best version available.
* Live Action music videos of songs that stand alone from an anime.
**Promotional videos (PV) for artists' singles that happen to be used for an anime's opening/ending are not allowed.
**If the songs were made specifcally for the anime, such as character songs, then a concert of the voice actors singing them would be acceptable.

<nowiki>* If the majority of the work is allowed by our rules, exceptions may apply. Staff will make the final decision on that.</nowiki>

AvsPmod (x64)

2022-07-08T19:59:49Z

Theworm4002: /* Setting up the ExRelease extraction script */

==AvsPmod (x64)==
===Required Components===
Download the Premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle

===Setting up the environment===
<ol>
<li>Unzip and open the premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle in Explorer. 
(should be named something like "AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x.zip")</li>

<li>Install AviSynth+ 
Starting at the root of the Install and Plugin folder extracted archive, the AviSynth+ install is located <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus</tt>. 
There should only be 2 things inside the directory: A folder named <tt>plugins64+</tt>, and <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> 
execute the <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> file
</li>

<li>Open the newly installed AviSynth+ plugins64+ directory in a new Explorer window 
Unless you changed the the AviSynth+ install location, your plugins directory should be 
(enter these into your explorer location bar):
<tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt>
There should be only 3 files inside the directory: <tt>colors_rgb.avsi</tt>, <tt>DirectShowSource.dll</tt>, <tt>TCPDeliver.dll</tt></li>

<li>Open the <tt>plugins64+</tt> directory that's next to the AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe in the install directory</li>

<li>Copy contents into your Avisynth+ plugin64+ directory 
Copy all the files from the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus\plugin64+</tt> directory to the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> directory</li>

<li>Close the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> Explorer window</li>

<li>Copy the AvsPmod_x64 folder to your desktop 
The AvsPmod_x64 folder is located in the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup</tt> directory
</li>

===Getting started with screenshot comparisons===
<ol><li>Start AvsPmod and open the settings dialog (''Options > Program settings'')
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>On the ''User Sliders'' tab check ''Hide slider window by default'' (The slider window usually only gets in the way)</li>
<li> If you are using more than one screen, it's usually wise to check the ''Seperate preview window'' option, so you can have one screen dedicated to the video and one to the script</li>
<li>On the Misc tab, uncheck the ''Show warning for bad plugin naming at startup'' option</li></ol></li>

<li>Go to ''Options > Snippets'' and click on ''Insert''. Insert the following script template as snippet and give it a tag you will remember 
(Script by Firesledge with a few additions)</li>

<tt>
{{:AvsPmod_(x64)_Script}}
</tt>

<li>Now that you're all set, let's load the videos to compare.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Click into the empty script window and hit F7 to get a list of your snippets. Since there's only the one snipped you just created, hit TAB to insert it</li>
<li>Replace <tt>VIDEOFILE</tt> in the first line with the full path to an episode (e.g. C:/MyCoolVideos/Oruchuban Ebichu/Oruchuban Ebichu - 01-02 [Ampeg].avi) of the first release you want to compare and <tt>GROUPNAME</tt> in the last line with the appropriate group tag</li>
<li>Hit F5 to load (or refresh) the video. Loading a file for the first time might take a few seconds, since the file is being indexed first.</li>
<li>Save the script</li>
<li>Hit Ctrl+N or double click next to the current tab to open a new script tab</li>
<li>Repeat from Step '''3a'''</li></ol></li>

<li>Syncing up the releases (easymode)
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Check if the video of all releases matches up, by going through them with Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, ... 
The best way to do is is to seek to the last frame before a scene change, check if it matches up across tabs, then seek to the next frame and check again 
(Seek by using the arrow keys (left/right: 1 frame; up/down: 1 second) or clicking the timeline for larger time distances) 
'''Note: ''' You may find out that not all subsequent frames match up or worse, the releases running out of sync over time. If it's only single frames, just avoid using them for screenshots.
In case of releases running out of sync, you're dealing with either missing sections or different frame rates. Refer to the [Advanced Tutorial TBD] on how to deal with those cases.</li>
<li>Once all releases you want to compare are in sync, right click their tabs and add them to a single group. Make sure the ''Apply offsets'' and ''Offset also bookmarks'' options are checked. 
AvsPmod will now remember the frame offsets between tabs and automatically seek to the right frames on a shared timeline.</li></ol></li>

<li><ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>To reasonably compare screenshots, we need all frame sizes to be of the same resolution. You should have noticed any differences already while syncing up the releases. 
If all resolutions match, skip this step. If they don't, find out the highest resolution by looking at the bottom right of the status bar. 
The information will be in the following format: FrameWidth x FrameHeight (AspectRatio) - Framerate fps - Colorspace</li>
<li>Take the largest width and height among the releases and find the following section in the scripts for all releases that need to be resized:

<pre style="color:brown">upscale_width = 0
upscale_height = 0</pre>
Replace the 0s with the largest FrameWidth and the largest FrameHeight</li>
<li>Hit F5 to refresh the video preview and confirm everything works as expected.</li>
</ol></li>

<li>Select frames for the screenshot comparison
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Find a frame suitable to convey significant information about an aspect of video quality. 
Pick:
<ul><li>one or two frames of a structure that represents what is on the screen most of the episode (to give a general idea about the video quality)</li>
<li>frames from dark scenes</li>
<li>high-detail frames / frames with fine structures</li>
<li>frames with low contrast</li>
<li>frames from high-motion scenes</li>
<li>a frame or two from a fade-in/fade-out</li>
<li>frames that display video artifacts in one ore more releases (refer to [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=32193 this] thread on how to spot and identify video artifacts)</li>
<li>at least one frame from the OP and one frame from the ED</li></ul>
Try to get as many B-Frames as possible. Ideally you'd want matching frame types across the different releases. In practice checking this gets more of a waste of time with each additional release you have to compare. Just try to keep the number of B-to-I comparisons low and make sure you don't pick only B-Frames for one release and only P-Frames for the other. A very easy way to avoid this issue is to not pick frames by only looking at one release. This comes with the added benefit of you being more likely to spot video artifacts in ALL releases. (Check the overlay on the top right of the video frame to find the frame type of the current frame.)</li>
<li>Once you've decided on a frame, hit Ctrl+B to bookmark it.</li>
<li>Repeat from '''6a '''for each additional frame 
If you want to check the frames you already bookmarked, hit F2/Shift+F2 to browse through your bookmarks</li></ol></li>

<li>Export screenshots
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Once you're done deciding on frames to screenshot (10-15 is a good number), it's time to export them to PNG. 
Go to ''Macros > Save image sequence'' (make sure ''Select frames'' is set to "Bookmarks" and ''Output format'' to "*.png")</li>
<li>Pick an output directory and basename. 
I recommend using the basename format <tt>%06d_Groupname</tt>. This way your screenshots will (almost) always sort to comparison-friendly order by default. Make sure ''Add the frame number as suffix'' is checked when using <tt>%06d</tt>, otherwise it only counts up rather than inserting the current frame number. 
:::Example of Directory+Basename: Z:\ScreenCompare\Out\%06d_Zurako
You may also want want to check the ''Use always this directory'' option since you need to run this macro for each release seperately.</li>
<li>Click OK. You'll get a confirmation once the export is done.</li>
<li>Repeat from step '''7a''' for every open tab/release</li>
</ol>
</li></ol>

===Using MKVToolnix for subtitle extraction===
<ol><li>Run the MKVToolnix installer. If using the portable version: Extract the archive</li>
<li>The installer will recommend downloading gMKVExtractGUI (portable users: It can be downloaded seperately, just place it in the appropriate folder) at some point. Do that if you don't know what CLI MKVExtract is and how to use it. Probably also do it if you know, I find that it simplifies the extraction.</li>
<li>Run gMKVExtractGUI.exe</li>
<li>Drag and Drop the file(s) that you want to extract the suptitles of.</li>
<li>Select the tracks you wish to extract. Then click ''Extract''</li>
<li>That's it, the extracted files (on default settings) should be in the same folder as the source files. </li></ol>

===Setting up the ExRelease extraction script ===
This is a great tool to have working.
Unfortunately, these instructions have not yet been updated from the x86 version. If you can't figure it out just pm theworm4002. ill help you set it up.

<ol><li>Open Notepad or a text editor of your choice and type <tt>;</tt>.</li>

<li>Install MKVToolNix and copy the path to the destination folder into your notepad document.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Append a <tt>;</tt> to your notepad document. The contents should now look like this:</li>
;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;
</ol></li>

<li>Install FontUtils and make sure the ''Add installation directory to PATH'' option is checked</li>

<li>Remember your AviSynth plugin directory from the first tutorial? Copy its path to your notepad document and append another ";" 
Unless you changed the the AviSynth install location, your plugins directory should be 
(enter these into your explorer location bar to make them resolve to full paths):
<ul><li>[On 64-bit Windows] <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)%\AviSynth 2.5\plugins</tt></li>
<li>[On 32-bit Windows] <tt>%ProgramFiles%\AviSynth 2.5\plugins</tt></li></ul>
Make sure you append the full path to your notepad document, so it looks like this:</li>
;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins;

<li>Unpack the ExRelease archive to
<ul><li><tt>%userprofile%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules</tt></li></ul></li>

<li>To make the tools you just installed available to the script and the script conveniently available from everywhere, we need to add their locations to your '''PATH '''environment variable
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Hit Win+Pause to open the System Control Panel</li>
<li>Click on ''Advanced System Settings'' (on the left sidebar), which should open the ''System Properties'' Window</li>
<li>Click on ''Environment Variables''</li>
<li>Browse the ''System variables'' until you find the '''Path''' variable. Highlight it and click on ''Edit...''</li>
<li>Click into the ''Variable value'' input field, and hit the End key to move the cursor behind the last entry (which should be your FontUtils path)</li>
<li>Append the contents of your notepad document and hit Enter</li>
<li>Click ''OK ''on the ''Environment Variables'' and ''System Properties'' to save the settings</li>
</ol></li>

<li>Run Windows PowerShell (you'll find it in the programs menu)
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Make sure you are running at least Powershell v3.0. Type
<pre style="color:brown">$PSVersionTable.PSVersion</pre>
into the command prompt and hit enter. If the number under ''Major ''says 3, you're good to go (continue with step '''8''')</li>
<li>If it doesn't, install
<ul><li>[On 64-bit Windows] Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64.msu</li>
<li>[On 32-bit Windows] Windows6.1-KB2506143-x86.msu</li></ul>
If the update fails with ''"The update is not applicable to your computer"'', you need to install the .NET Framework 4.5 (dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe) first. 
You may need to restart your computer after installing Powershell 3. 
Open Windows PowerShell again and run
<pre style="color:brown">$PSVersionTable.PSVersion</pre>
to confirm you are now running version 3</li></ol></li>

<li>Next, we have to change the execution policy to allow running unsigned scripts. To do this, run
<pre style="color:brown">Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser</pre>
and confirm with Y. With this preparations to run the ExRelease script are done.</li></ol>

===Using the ExRelease script to take screenshots with subtitles/typesetting===
The ExRelease script automates a number of thigs you'd otherwise have to do by hand:
<ul><li>Demuxes subtitles from .mkv files</li>
<li>Extracts attached fonts softsubbed releases (which are required to render the subtitles correctly)</li>
<li>Looks for typesetting inside extracted .ass subtiles and writes a text file, which can be imported as bookmarks in AvsPmod</li>
<li>Loads extracted fonts into memory to make them available to the subtitle renderer</li>
<li>Finds the highest resolution of the releases you want to compare</li>
<li>Writes an AviSynth script with all important parameters already set, so you can start taking screenshots right away</li></ul>
 
<ol><li>Open PowerShell</li>
<li>Move or copy all releases you want to compare with each other to a separate folder. The script works on whole directories, so every .mkv file in the folder is going to be processed.</li>
<li>Run the script by typing
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness"</pre>
(Substitute for your comparison directory, of course.)
You can use the Tab key to auto-complete directories or just type "ExRelease" and drag/drop the folder into PowerShell to insert its path.
The script will now process your files and also create indexes, so it's time to go to the fridge and grab a beer.</li>

<li>When the script is done it will ask you if you want it to load fonts now. Answer with Y for yes. 
Fonts remain loaded in memory for the duration of the session (that means until you log out or shut down the computer).
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>In case you want to (continue) work on the screenshot comparison after a logout or reboot, run the script again with
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness" -load</pre></li></ol></li>

<li>Open the generated .avs scripts (which reside next to the .mkv files) in AvsPmod. 
If everything went right, all releases should display at the same resolution, subtitles should now be rendered on the frames, and the releases should now have the appropriate group tag next to the frame numbers.</li>

<li>To save you the effort of finding typesetting to compare, ExRelease has already done that for you.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>To import the found typesetting locations as bookmarks, click on ''Macros > Import bookmarks from file'' and pick the .TSChapters.txt saved alongside the release you are comparing.</li>
<li>Repeat this for every other release you are comparing. This is important because you not only want to compare the TS group A did, but also the TS group B did and group a didn't.</li>
<li>Take note that the typesetting detection is very crude and timecodes are somewhat inaccurate, therefore the typesetting may appear a frame before/after the bookmark or e.g. only starts fading in at the bookmark locations. Therefore it's vital to go trough the bookmarks and move them around to get useful screenshots. To remove a bookmark, just press Ctrl+B at the bookmarked location (frame number in red)</li></ol></li>

<li>To unload fonts after you are done with your comparison, run the script with
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness" -unload</pre></li></ol>
 
'''Addendum:''' The script offers a number of advanced parameters that let you customize your workflow. Run
<pre style="color:brown;">Get-Help ExRelease -detailed</pre>
in PowerShell to display its internal help file.

AvsPmod (x64)

2022-07-08T19:59:23Z

Theworm4002: /* Setting up the ExRelease extraction script */

==AvsPmod (x64)==
===Required Components===
Download the Premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle

===Setting up the environment===
<ol>
<li>Unzip and open the premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle in Explorer. 
(should be named something like "AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x.zip")</li>

<li>Install AviSynth+ 
Starting at the root of the Install and Plugin folder extracted archive, the AviSynth+ install is located <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus</tt>. 
There should only be 2 things inside the directory: A folder named <tt>plugins64+</tt>, and <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> 
execute the <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> file
</li>

<li>Open the newly installed AviSynth+ plugins64+ directory in a new Explorer window 
Unless you changed the the AviSynth+ install location, your plugins directory should be 
(enter these into your explorer location bar):
<tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt>
There should be only 3 files inside the directory: <tt>colors_rgb.avsi</tt>, <tt>DirectShowSource.dll</tt>, <tt>TCPDeliver.dll</tt></li>

<li>Open the <tt>plugins64+</tt> directory that's next to the AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe in the install directory</li>

<li>Copy contents into your Avisynth+ plugin64+ directory 
Copy all the files from the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus\plugin64+</tt> directory to the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> directory</li>

<li>Close the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> Explorer window</li>

<li>Copy the AvsPmod_x64 folder to your desktop 
The AvsPmod_x64 folder is located in the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup</tt> directory
</li>

===Getting started with screenshot comparisons===
<ol><li>Start AvsPmod and open the settings dialog (''Options > Program settings'')
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>On the ''User Sliders'' tab check ''Hide slider window by default'' (The slider window usually only gets in the way)</li>
<li> If you are using more than one screen, it's usually wise to check the ''Seperate preview window'' option, so you can have one screen dedicated to the video and one to the script</li>
<li>On the Misc tab, uncheck the ''Show warning for bad plugin naming at startup'' option</li></ol></li>

<li>Go to ''Options > Snippets'' and click on ''Insert''. Insert the following script template as snippet and give it a tag you will remember 
(Script by Firesledge with a few additions)</li>

<tt>
{{:AvsPmod_(x64)_Script}}
</tt>

<li>Now that you're all set, let's load the videos to compare.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Click into the empty script window and hit F7 to get a list of your snippets. Since there's only the one snipped you just created, hit TAB to insert it</li>
<li>Replace <tt>VIDEOFILE</tt> in the first line with the full path to an episode (e.g. C:/MyCoolVideos/Oruchuban Ebichu/Oruchuban Ebichu - 01-02 [Ampeg].avi) of the first release you want to compare and <tt>GROUPNAME</tt> in the last line with the appropriate group tag</li>
<li>Hit F5 to load (or refresh) the video. Loading a file for the first time might take a few seconds, since the file is being indexed first.</li>
<li>Save the script</li>
<li>Hit Ctrl+N or double click next to the current tab to open a new script tab</li>
<li>Repeat from Step '''3a'''</li></ol></li>

<li>Syncing up the releases (easymode)
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Check if the video of all releases matches up, by going through them with Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, ... 
The best way to do is is to seek to the last frame before a scene change, check if it matches up across tabs, then seek to the next frame and check again 
(Seek by using the arrow keys (left/right: 1 frame; up/down: 1 second) or clicking the timeline for larger time distances)

2022-07-08T19:52:19Z

Theworm4002: /* AvsPmod (x64) */

==AvsPmod (x64)==
===Required Components===
Download the Premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle

===Setting up the environment===
<ol>
<li>Unzip and open the premade [https://mega.nz/file/j8lnyZSY#XxbVwnPhXva3R7SYwn8dpuDYWwdNODF9RyBt4AONEnA Install and Plugin ] folder Bundle in Explorer. 
(should be named something like "AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x.zip")</li>

<li>Install AviSynth+ 
Starting at the root of the Install and Plugin folder extracted archive, the AviSynth+ install is located <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus</tt>. 
There should only be 2 things inside the directory: A folder named <tt>plugins64+</tt>, and <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> 
execute the <tt>AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe</tt> file
</li>

<li>Open the newly installed AviSynth+ plugins64+ directory in a new Explorer window 
Unless you changed the the AviSynth+ install location, your plugins directory should be 
(enter these into your explorer location bar):
<tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt>
There should be only 3 files inside the directory: <tt>colors_rgb.avsi</tt>, <tt>DirectShowSource.dll</tt>, <tt>TCPDeliver.dll</tt></li>

<li>Open the <tt>plugins64+</tt> directory that's next to the AviSynthPlus_3.7.0_20210111_vcredist.exe in the install directory</li>

<li>Copy contents into your Avisynth+ plugin64+ directory 
Copy all the files from the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup\AviSynthPlus\plugin64+</tt> directory to the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> directory</li>

<li>Close the <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)\%AviSynth+\plugins64+</tt> Explorer window</li>

<li>Copy the AvsPmod_x64 folder to your desktop 
The AvsPmod_x64 folder is located in the <tt>AvsPmod_Setup_Vx.x.x\AvsPmod_Setup</tt> directory
</li>

===Getting started with screenshot comparisons===
<ol><li>Start AvsPmod and open the settings dialog (''Options > Program settings'')
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>On the ''User Sliders'' tab check ''Hide slider window by default'' (The slider window usually only gets in the way)</li>
<li> If you are using more than one screen, it's usually wise to check the ''Seperate preview window'' option, so you can have one screen dedicated to the video and one to the script</li>
<li>On the Misc tab, uncheck the ''Show warning for bad plugin naming at startup'' option</li></ol></li>

<li>Go to ''Options > Snippets'' and click on ''Insert''. Insert the following script template as snippet and give it a tag you will remember 
(Script by Firesledge with a few additions)</li>

<tt>
{{:AvsPmod_(x64)_Script}}
</tt>

<li>Now that you're all set, let's load the videos to compare.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Click into the empty script window and hit F7 to get a list of your snippets. Since there's only the one snipped you just created, hit TAB to insert it</li>
<li>Replace <tt>VIDEOFILE</tt> in the first line with the full path to an episode (e.g. C:/MyCoolVideos/Oruchuban Ebichu/Oruchuban Ebichu - 01-02 [Ampeg].avi) of the first release you want to compare and <tt>GROUPNAME</tt> in the last line with the appropriate group tag</li>
<li>Hit F5 to load (or refresh) the video. Loading a file for the first time might take a few seconds, since the file is being indexed first.</li>
<li>Save the script</li>
<li>Hit Ctrl+N or double click next to the current tab to open a new script tab</li>
<li>Repeat from Step '''3a'''</li></ol></li>

<li>Syncing up the releases (easymode)
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Check if the video of all releases matches up, by going through them with Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3, ... 
The best way to do is is to seek to the last frame before a scene change, check if it matches up across tabs, then seek to the next frame and check again 
(Seek by using the arrow keys (left/right: 1 frame; up/down: 1 second) or clicking the timeline for larger time distances) 
'''Note: ''' You may find out that not all subsequent frames match up or worse, the releases running out of sync over time. If it's only single frames, just avoid using them for screenshots.
In case of releases running out of sync, you're dealing with either missing sections or different frame rates. Refer to the [Advanced Tutorial TBD] on how to deal with those cases.</li>
<li>Once all releases you want to compare are in sync, right click their tabs and add them to a single group. Make sure the ''Apply offsets'' and ''Offset also bookmarks'' options are checked. 
AvsPmod will now remember the frame offsets between tabs and automatically seek to the right frames on a shared timeline.</li></ol></li>

<li><ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>To reasonably compare screenshots, we need all frame sizes to be of the same resolution. You should have noticed any differences already while syncing up the releases. 
If all resolutions match, skip this step. If they don't, find out the highest resolution by looking at the bottom right of the status bar. 
The information will be in the following format: FrameWidth x FrameHeight (AspectRatio) - Framerate fps - Colorspace</li>
<li>Take the largest width and height among the releases and find the following section in the scripts for all releases that need to be resized:

<pre style="color:brown">upscale_width = 0
upscale_height = 0</pre>
Replace the 0s with the largest FrameWidth and the largest FrameHeight</li>
<li>Hit F5 to refresh the video preview and confirm everything works as expected.</li>
</ol></li>

<li>Select frames for the screenshot comparison
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Find a frame suitable to convey significant information about an aspect of video quality. 
Pick:
<ul><li>one or two frames of a structure that represents what is on the screen most of the episode (to give a general idea about the video quality)</li>
<li>frames from dark scenes</li>
<li>high-detail frames / frames with fine structures</li>
<li>frames with low contrast</li>
<li>frames from high-motion scenes</li>
<li>a frame or two from a fade-in/fade-out</li>
<li>frames that display video artifacts in one ore more releases (refer to [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=32193 this] thread on how to spot and identify video artifacts)</li>
<li>at least one frame from the OP and one frame from the ED</li></ul>
Try to get as many B-Frames as possible. Ideally you'd want matching frame types across the different releases. In practice checking this gets more of a waste of time with each additional release you have to compare. Just try to keep the number of B-to-I comparisons low and make sure you don't pick only B-Frames for one release and only P-Frames for the other. A very easy way to avoid this issue is to not pick frames by only looking at one release. This comes with the added benefit of you being more likely to spot video artifacts in ALL releases. (Check the overlay on the top right of the video frame to find the frame type of the current frame.)</li>
<li>Once you've decided on a frame, hit Ctrl+B to bookmark it.</li>
<li>Repeat from '''6a '''for each additional frame 
If you want to check the frames you already bookmarked, hit F2/Shift+F2 to browse through your bookmarks</li></ol></li>

<li>Export screenshots
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Once you're done deciding on frames to screenshot (10-15 is a good number), it's time to export them to PNG. 
Go to ''Macros > Save image sequence'' (make sure ''Select frames'' is set to "Bookmarks" and ''Output format'' to "*.png")</li>
<li>Pick an output directory and basename. 
I recommend using the basename format <tt>%06d_Groupname</tt>. This way your screenshots will (almost) always sort to comparison-friendly order by default. Make sure ''Add the frame number as suffix'' is checked when using <tt>%06d</tt>, otherwise it only counts up rather than inserting the current frame number. 
:::Example of Directory+Basename: Z:\ScreenCompare\Out\%06d_Zurako
You may also want want to check the ''Use always this directory'' option since you need to run this macro for each release seperately.</li>
<li>Click OK. You'll get a confirmation once the export is done.</li>
<li>Repeat from step '''7a''' for every open tab/release</li>
</ol>
</li></ol>

===Using MKVToolnix for subtitle extraction===
<ol><li>Run the MKVToolnix installer. If using the portable version: Extract the archive</li>
<li>The installer will recommend downloading gMKVExtractGUI (portable users: It can be downloaded seperately, just place it in the appropriate folder) at some point. Do that if you don't know what CLI MKVExtract is and how to use it. Probably also do it if you know, I find that it simplifies the extraction.</li>
<li>Run gMKVExtractGUI.exe</li>
<li>Drag and Drop the file(s) that you want to extract the suptitles of.</li>
<li>Select the tracks you wish to extract. Then click ''Extract''</li>
<li>That's it, the extracted files (on default settings) should be in the same folder as the source files. </li></ol>

===Setting up the ExRelease extraction script ===
This is a great tool to have working.
Unfortunately, these instructions have not yet been updated from the x86 version. If you can't figure it out just pm theworm4002. ill help you set it up. you might as well just pm to start as its much simpler with the new setup

<ol><li>Open Notepad or a text editor of your choice and type <tt>;</tt>.</li>

<li>Install MKVToolNix and copy the path to the destination folder into your notepad document.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Append a <tt>;</tt> to your notepad document. The contents should now look like this:</li>
;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;
</ol></li>

<li>Install FontUtils and make sure the ''Add installation directory to PATH'' option is checked</li>

<li>Remember your AviSynth plugin directory from the first tutorial? Copy its path to your notepad document and append another ";" 
Unless you changed the the AviSynth install location, your plugins directory should be 
(enter these into your explorer location bar to make them resolve to full paths):
<ul><li>[On 64-bit Windows] <tt>%ProgramFiles(x86)%\AviSynth 2.5\plugins</tt></li>
<li>[On 32-bit Windows] <tt>%ProgramFiles%\AviSynth 2.5\plugins</tt></li></ul>
Make sure you append the full path to your notepad document, so it looks like this:</li>
;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins;

<li>Unpack the ExRelease archive to
<ul><li><tt>%userprofile%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules</tt></li></ul></li>

<li>To make the tools you just installed available to the script and the script conveniently available from everywhere, we need to add their locations to your '''PATH '''environment variable
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Hit Win+Pause to open the System Control Panel</li>
<li>Click on ''Advanced System Settings'' (on the left sidebar), which should open the ''System Properties'' Window</li>
<li>Click on ''Environment Variables''</li>
<li>Browse the ''System variables'' until you find the '''Path''' variable. Highlight it and click on ''Edit...''</li>
<li>Click into the ''Variable value'' input field, and hit the End key to move the cursor behind the last entry (which should be your FontUtils path)</li>
<li>Append the contents of your notepad document and hit Enter</li>
<li>Click ''OK ''on the ''Environment Variables'' and ''System Properties'' to save the settings</li>
</ol></li>

<li>Run Windows PowerShell (you'll find it in the programs menu)
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>Make sure you are running at least Powershell v3.0. Type
<pre style="color:brown">$PSVersionTable.PSVersion</pre>
into the command prompt and hit enter. If the number under ''Major ''says 3, you're good to go (continue with step '''8''')</li>
<li>If it doesn't, install
<ul><li>[On 64-bit Windows] Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64.msu</li>
<li>[On 32-bit Windows] Windows6.1-KB2506143-x86.msu</li></ul>
If the update fails with ''"The update is not applicable to your computer"'', you need to install the .NET Framework 4.5 (dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe) first. 
You may need to restart your computer after installing Powershell 3. 
Open Windows PowerShell again and run
<pre style="color:brown">$PSVersionTable.PSVersion</pre>
to confirm you are now running version 3</li></ol></li>

<li>Next, we have to change the execution policy to allow running unsigned scripts. To do this, run
<pre style="color:brown">Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser</pre>
and confirm with Y. With this preparations to run the ExRelease script are done.</li></ol>

===Using the ExRelease script to take screenshots with subtitles/typesetting===
The ExRelease script automates a number of thigs you'd otherwise have to do by hand:
<ul><li>Demuxes subtitles from .mkv files</li>
<li>Extracts attached fonts softsubbed releases (which are required to render the subtitles correctly)</li>
<li>Looks for typesetting inside extracted .ass subtiles and writes a text file, which can be imported as bookmarks in AvsPmod</li>
<li>Loads extracted fonts into memory to make them available to the subtitle renderer</li>
<li>Finds the highest resolution of the releases you want to compare</li>
<li>Writes an AviSynth script with all important parameters already set, so you can start taking screenshots right away</li></ul>
 
<ol><li>Open PowerShell</li>
<li>Move or copy all releases you want to compare with each other to a separate folder. The script works on whole directories, so every .mkv file in the folder is going to be processed.</li>
<li>Run the script by typing
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness"</pre>
(Substitute for your comparison directory, of course.)
You can use the Tab key to auto-complete directories or just type "ExRelease" and drag/drop the folder into PowerShell to insert its path.
The script will now process your files and also create indexes, so it's time to go to the fridge and grab a beer.</li>

<li>When the script is done it will ask you if you want it to load fonts now. Answer with Y for yes. 
Fonts remain loaded in memory for the duration of the session (that means until you log out or shut down the computer).
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>In case you want to (continue) work on the screenshot comparison after a logout or reboot, run the script again with
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness" -load</pre></li></ol></li>

<li>Open the generated .avs scripts (which reside next to the .mkv files) in AvsPmod. 
If everything went right, all releases should display at the same resolution, subtitles should now be rendered on the frames, and the releases should now have the appropriate group tag next to the frame numbers.</li>

<li>To save you the effort of finding typesetting to compare, ExRelease has already done that for you.
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin;">
<li>To import the found typesetting locations as bookmarks, click on ''Macros > Import bookmarks from file'' and pick the .TSChapters.txt saved alongside the release you are comparing.</li>
<li>Repeat this for every other release you are comparing. This is important because you not only want to compare the TS group A did, but also the TS group B did and group a didn't.</li>
<li>Take note that the typesetting detection is very crude and timecodes are somewhat inaccurate, therefore the typesetting may appear a frame before/after the bookmark or e.g. only starts fading in at the bookmark locations. Therefore it's vital to go trough the bookmarks and move them around to get useful screenshots. To remove a bookmark, just press Ctrl+B at the bookmarked location (frame number in red)</li></ol></li>

<li>To unload fonts after you are done with your comparison, run the script with
<pre style="color:brown;">ExRelease "X:\SomePath\To Love Ru Darkness" -unload</pre></li></ol>
 
'''Addendum:''' The script offers a number of advanced parameters that let you customize your workflow. Run
<pre style="color:brown;">Get-Help ExRelease -detailed</pre>
in PowerShell to display its internal help file.

Theworm4002: /* Tixati */

A '''''BitTorrent client''''' is computer software that utilizes the BitTorrent P2P protocol to download and upload data. The original BitTorrent client was released in 2002 by Bram Cohen. Since then, many different clients have developed, all of which are at least partially based on the original BitTorrent client.

=BitTorrent Clients=
'''The full list (most up-to-date version) is viewable at http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php.''' 

Check there if in doubt; this page will be updated at infrequent intervals to match the main page.

Some BitTorrent clients can be configured to notify their users when a newer version/build is available. Keep in mind to check the whitelist in case of a version change, especially in case of an upgrade offer to BETA versions.

If you have good reason to add a BitTorrent client not listed below, kindly post in [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Excessive whining and complaining is not going to help your case.

Please include the torrent client name and version number. Versions that are too old or in early beta (this includes Release Candidates - RC) will not be considered (unless you have a '''really good reason''', in which case you are expected to defend your choice without us having to ask).

Before you ask why a torrent client is blacklisted, read [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469.0 this thread]. Your question has already been answered there.

==Whitelist==
Whitelist of clients generally allowed to be used with the BakaBT tracker.
*More up to date list can be found [http://bakabt.me/whitelist.php here].
*If your preferred client/version is not in this list you can appeal at the [http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=19469 "Request to add clients to the whitelist" thread].
*If a whitelisted client has been updated (and no one has reported that new version yet), you can report it in the [https://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=44098.0 "Report *new* whitelisted client versions" thread]. DO NOT report a new version again if someone else has already reported it!

====Vuze (Azureus)====
;[http://www.vuze.com/ Homepage]
Allowed versions: 4.x, 5.x (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* One of the most preferred clients on BakaBT. This client has recently changed name to Vuze from its old name Azureus.
* What Vuze is unique for is its community part, which allows you to share torrents easily with your friends.
* While this client is very rich in features, it is written in Java, which makes it slow by nature, and is quite a memory hog. Despite these enormous flaws, it is still one of the best.
* Development has been stalled for a while. BiglyBT is continueing with the Vuze codebase while removing some of the less popular/annoying things, such as ads. '''It might be sensible to switch to.
'''

====BitTornado====

====LimeWire====

====Shareaza====
* There exists two Shareaza, one false and the true client. '''Shareaza V4''' is the false one, and it comes bundled with '''adware'''. '''Shareaza V2''' is the true client.

====Xunlei (Thunder)====
* Client that doesn't follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) Bittorrent protocol] properly, reports fake transfer stats.

==Other Warnings==

Modification of clients to bypass our client requirements (spoofing) is explicitly forbidden.
People caught doing this will be instantly and permanently banned. This is your only warning.
