Codecs

2008-09-18T07:41:40Z

ZeroGman: /*Compression*/ Added compression to the codecs section, copied definitions from the Terminology page.

This article is meant as a brief explanation of the most common codecs used on BoxTorrents and is purely information. For codec troubleshooting, see the [[Common_Playback_Problems|Common Playback Problems]] BoxTorrents Wiki article, or visit the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forum] for help playing/installing codecs.

==Overview==
A codec is a device or software that is capable of decoding and/or encoding data, wether it be a digital data stream or signal. Basically, they are what we use to encode and decode virtually all of the content found on BoxTorrents. For the most part, we only worry about the decoding.

==Compression==
Basically, two types of compression exist, ''Lossy'', and ''Lossles''. For example, most of the anime found on BoxTorrents will use ''Lossy codecs'', where as several soundtracks use ''Lossless''.

*'''Lossy codecs''' - Many of the more popular codecs in the software world are lossy, meaning that they reduce quality by some amount in order to achieve compression. Smaller data sets ease the strain on relatively expensive storage sub-systems such as non-volatile memory and hard disk, as well as write-once-read-many formats such as CD-ROM, DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
*'''Lossless codecs''' - There are also many lossless codecs which are typically used for archiving data in a compressed form while retaining all of the information present in the original stream. If preserving the original quality of the stream is more important than eliminating the correspondingly larger data sizes, lossless codecs are preferred. Especially if the data is to undergo further processing (for example editing) in which case the repeated application of processing (encoding and decoding) on lossy codecs will degrade the quality of the resulting data such that it is readily identifiable (visually, audibly or both). Using more than one codec or encoding scheme successively can also degrade quality significantly. The decreasing cost of storage capacity and network bandwidth has a tendency to reduce the need for lossy codecs for some media.

==Video Codecs==
Currently, many formats exist for video codecs, here are the more common ones found on BoxTorrents:


*'''MPEG-2''' -
*'''MPEG-4 Part 2''' -
*'''MPEG-4 Part 10''' -
*'''DivX, Xvid, FFmpeg, MPEG-4, and 3ivx''' -
*'''WMV''' -
*'''VC-1''' -
*'''x264''' -

==Audio Codecs==
Several audio formats exist as well, these apply to both movies and music/sounds. Here are some of the common ones used on BoxTorrents. (Coming soon!)


==Text Codecs==
Text codecs are used for files that contain softsubs, they are basically text that is rendered during playback separately from the video track instead of being rendered directly to the video file during encoding (hardsubs). The main advantage of using softsubs being that multiple subtitle/karaoke tracks can be packaged into one file or not used at all during playback. The main drawback is that it adds more overhead to the file.

The softsub file is sometimes a separate file, .sub for example, but is usually inside the [[Containers|container]] file. Here are the most common codecs used on BoxTorrents:

*'''SubStation Alpha''' - Commonly used on BoxTorrents. Supports both styled text and metadata. Has a precision of 10 milliseconds. Frequently encoded within a [[Containers|container]], thus rarely seen as a separate file. Uses a .ssa or .ass extension.
*'''VobSub''' - Common on BoxTorrents as well. VobSub is image-based so it doesn't support styled text or metadata. This is the codec used when the subtitles are ripped directly from the source DVD. These have a precision of 1 millisecond.

* Hardsubs are rendered directly into the video stream so a separate codec isn't required

Keywords

2008-09-16T17:38:16Z

ZeroGman: /*N*/ Did the N section, took longer than expected! Needs some verification... Still hoping for any feedback...

BoxTorrents uses keywords to separate content into different genres. This is a brief guide and reference to the more commonly used keywords used on BoxTorrents.

If a keyword is missing, it may not have been added yet, or is considered to minor to add. (Such as publishers, producers, and mangakas that are used very few times)

# ''Nippon Animation'' - See entry below

Talk:FAQ

2008-09-13T07:05:55Z

ZeroGman:

Deimon, did you copy and paste the source code from the BoxTorrents FAQ for the most part? Most of that HTML in their wasn't needed. Wiki formatting doesn't agree with all html formatting it seems, images being one of them. --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 20:20, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, hence the statement that it still needs some cleaning. I'm not finished yet (needed to go afk a while) but it's not a lot which needs to be cleaned, and it's better than just copy paste part by part, I used "Replace All" on many codes like links and such, making it all easier. This way we get the FAQ done in almost no time at all, but right now I'm going to sleep but will keep working on it tomorrow. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 22:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Good deal. Although, I think I got most of it already... (The 4,000+ total bytes taken away from my two major clean ups) I removed most of the HTML code and really only left the underline formatting since I don't know how to do that in a wiki. There is probably a little left to fix, but not much. I'm actually not sure what still needs to be fixed (if anything). --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 02:58, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Looks promosing, see, this was a good idea to just import the real FAQ and clean it up. (^.^) What's left is to merely edit the links which points to the FAQ or Rule. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 04:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed up all links I could find and cleaned some of the leftovers, and I fixed us a cool banner (o_O). The only thing left as I see it is maybe editing the [[FAQ#What makes BoxTorrents different?]] section so that it's above the Contents list, or should we leave it as it is now? --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 04:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Modified the "What makes Box..." section, I myself find it better this way, but feel free to change it back if you want. --[[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 04:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Moved the "What makes BoxTorrents different?" for consistent formatting. Commented out the two paragraphs that were with it that really didn't have anything to do with it. Why the banner? This is a wiki, not a webpage. Eh, maybe I'm just being anal about keeping it like a wiki. I prefer avoiding html in wiki editing if possible, although our wiki can't do images or underline text yet, so some is needed. Unless someone knows a way to embed external images using wiki formatting. --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 07:05, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

== Site content information ==

===What makes BoxTorrents different?===

There are many anime torrent sites but BoxTorrents is unique in the quality of our content. Our goal is to provide only torrents for completed anime or anime-related material and we pick only the best versions. Not everyone may submit new torrents: only Power Users, users who seem to have at least some experience with our site, and other appointed users. All submissions are thoroughly checked before they are added to our ever growing list of series; by ''ever growing'', we really mean ever growing in the sense that even old torrents are still seeded. In short: 'quality over quantity' and 'ease of use'. Do keep in mind that BoxTorrents exists because of its users; old content is still available because of many dedicated seeders, so sharing is a must.



=== What is this Bittorrent all about anyway? How do I get the files? ===

Check out [http://www.btfaq.com Brian's Bittorrent FAQ and Guide].

=== How do I watch the files I download? ===

Visit [http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page this page] and have a look around.
The CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is the simplest codec pack available on the internet, and the simplest codec pack to set up. Out of the box, it is practically guaranteed to play anything that you throw at it (from our site, of course).
If you have any problems, please look [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 here] for possible solutions. If you can't find one, you may either post in the forums asking for help or use the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/help.php Help Form].

=== Where can I learn more about codecs/anime/manga/Japanese culture? ===

[http://www.google.com Google] and [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] are your friends.
For specific information on Japanese animations, there are 3 main resources: [http://anidb.net AniDB], [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)], and [http://www.animenfo.com AnimeNFO]. Each site offers unique information on any given title.

Unfortunately, we can't do anything about pruned accounts. If you were able to create a new account under the same name and/or e-mail address, it is proof that your old account is permanently gone.

=== What is MY ratio? ===

Click on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile link], then on your user name (at the top).

It's important to distinguish between your overall ratio and the individual ratio on each torrent you may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloaded from your account since you joined the site. The individual ratio takes into account those values for each torrent.

You may see two symbols instead of a number: "Inf.", which is just an abbreviation for Infinity, and means that you have downloaded 0 bytes while uploading a non-zero amount (ul/dl becomes infinity); "---", which should be read as "non-available", and shows up when you have both downloaded and uploaded 0 bytes (ul/dl = 0/0 which is an indeterminate amount).

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

Only you and the site moderators can view your IP address and email. Other users do not see that information.

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

This problem sometimes occurs with MSIE. Close all Internet Explorer windows and open Internet Options in the control panel. Click the Delete Cookies button. You should now be able to login.
Another solution is to visit http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php

=== Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?) ===

The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.

This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously a detrimental effect on the overall speed.

The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections (the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring your NAT server to use a basic form of NAT for that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models. Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on the subject at [http://www.portforward.com PortForward]).

=== What are the different user classes? ===
{|border="1"
|-
! '''Class''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! User ||align="left"| Normal user, can choose to view hentai.
|-
! Power User ||align="left"|Higher user, can view peer lists and report bad torrents or comments. Can make offers of torrents they wish to upload.

|-
|}

=== How do I become a Power User? ===

Upload at least 25GB and have a ratio equal to or greater than 1.

=== How do I view peer lists for torrents? ===

Become a Power User and click on the Peer List tab under torrent descriptions. Non-Power Users can not view peer lists.

=== How do I add an avatar to my profile? ===

First, find an image that you like, and that is within the rules. Then you will have to upload to some webspace, such as Photobucket, Upload-It! or ImageShack. All that is left to do is copy the URL (direct link) you were given when uploading it to the avatar field in your profile.

Please do not add a comment just to test your avatar. If everything is alright you'll see it in your details page.

=== I am warned, what do I do? ===

'''What is a warning?'''
* A warning means that your account currently has reduced rights; namely, you may not download. If you are warned it means you did something very wrong. The warning is there to protect other users, do keep in mind that BoxTorrents only works because many users put in some effort and bandwidth to keep our torrents healthy.

'''Why was I warned?'''
* The warning may be set automatically if your ratio drops below a certain point or it may be set by a moderator if you broke a rule. In the second case, warnings will be longer depending on the severity of your offence that garnered the warning.

'''Ok, so now what?'''
* While your are warned you may not download; you are only allowed to seed. When you are warned an ''evaluation'' time will be scheduled (usually 1 week ahead), your account is then re-evaluated and if your ratio is high enough the warning will be lifted. If your ratio is not high enough a new evaluation time will be scheduled, and so on.
If you got warned because of a bad ratio (or if you you think you got warned because of a bad ratio ;) ) - the only way to get rid of the warning is by increasing your upload. The most obvious way is by seeding, but you may also use the bonus system (see: [[FAQ#What are bonus torrents?|What are bonus torrents?]]). A third option is donating; the why and how is explained on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/donate.php donation] page.

== Tracker Issues ==
===Failure: access denied, leeching forbidden, you are only allowed to seed===
Cause: Your ratio is too low.

Solution: Seed more and improve your ratio.

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

Cause: Your passkey's secrecy has been compromised.

Solution: See the entry below.

=== People are using my torrent key / I accidentally posted my torrent key ===

Cause: Your torrent key identifies you as a user; never give it to anyone. Staff will never ask for you torrent key.

Solution: Go to your Profile and generate a new key, all your old torrents will become invalid immediately so you will have to re-download your torrents.

=== I accidentally posted a link to download.php and I'm being charged for the downloads ===

Cause: When you are logged in the download.php links are for your user, if you post them people will get your torrent and your key. If you are logged out the links are anonymous, posting them elsewhere will not work as they are only valid for 24 hours. Generating a new key does not solve this problem.

Solution: Wait 24 hours for the download link to become invalid (download links are only valid for 24 hours) or remove the download link from where you posted it. If no more new people are given your key you can generate a new key to get rid of the 'leechers'.

=== 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.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent pass" ===

Cause: The tracker can not find a user associated with the torrent pass you're sending it in your announce URL.

Solution: Re-download the torrent from the site.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent" ===

Cause: The torrent you downloaded is not/no longer tracked by our tracker.

Solution: Check if the torrent has been swapped or replaced. We occasionally prune old obsolete torrents or material that has become blacklisted.

=== "Failure: access denied, torrents limit reached" ===

Cause: You are downloading too many torrents.

Solution: Users are allowed to download 3 torrent at a time. Power Users are allowed to download 10 torrents at a time. You are allowed to seed an unlimited number of torrents. Check your userpage to see which torrents you are allegedly downloading.

=== 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 an icon that looks like a yellow ball with a red "'''B'''" inside. When you seed a bonus torrent (and have 100%) you will earn 1 bonus point per hour per bonus torrent. Bonus points can be exchanged for upload credit on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/bonus.php bonus] page (this means you can add an amount onto your 'uploaded' stat on your user page).

== Statistics Tracking ==
=== How is my traffic tracked? ===

BoxTorrents uses a passkey system to identify each user. Your passkey can be found on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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 allow people to generate torrent traffic under your account. We will not be held responsible for any adverse effects this may have.

=== 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://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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.

=== 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: 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]] for more information on what BitTorrent clients you can use.''

There is currently no restriction on which clients you may use, but this will most likely change in the future. The tracker updates your stats correctly for most Bittorrent clients. However, we still recommend that you use the following clients:
- '''uTorrent''' [http://www.utorrent.com/ website]
- '''Azureus''' (aka Vuze) [http://http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ website]

For any client, we urge you to keep it up to date, most clients have had some problems with earlier versions.

Also, clients in alpha or beta version should be avoided.

We neither recommend nor will we provide support for:
- BitComet
- BitLord (modified BitComet with spyware added)
- Shareaza

=== Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile? ===

If for some reason (e.g. PC crash or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never have had its finished information sent and will be listed until the peer information times out. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.

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

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 will eventually go away.

=== Why do I sometimes see torrents I'm not leeching in my profile?! ===

Under our new keying system, it is not possible for the tracker to confuse you with another peer. If you see torrents listed in your profile that you are DEFINITELY not leeching/seeding on, then we suggest you take the following actions:
'''Change the e-mail and password on your account.''' If you did not give out your passkey then someone either has access to your email account or your Boxtorrents user account (or both).'''Go to your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile page] and generate a new torrent pass.''' This will invalidate all your previous torrents ending whatever damage was done to your account. You will need to redownload your torrents.

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

Yes.

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

Yes, '''but you may not seed the ''same'' torrent from two different computers''' as the tracker will not understand. In the worst case you will banned.

== Uploading ==
=== Why can't I upload torrents? ===

Power Users can make offers of torrents they wish to upload, which will be granted or rejected by staff. Staff members and certain approved users are permitted to upload directly without having to go through the approval procedure.
Non-Power Users can not make offers.

=== How do I make an offer if I'm a Power User? ===

First, begin by reading this section of the FAQ to make sure that you fully understand what is required of you. Failure to do so will see your offer rejected (depending on the mood of the staff member who handles it). Once you have finished reading, click the 'Offer' button on the left side of the page. When creating your torrent, be sure to set the 'private' flag, or the system will automatically reject your torrent. Once you've created your torrent, fill in the description of your torrent. Once you submit your torrent for approval, it will join a queue of torrents awaiting judgement. You may leave your client 'seeding' your torrent at this point, but make sure you redownload the torrent from the website to have your passkey added to the announce URL (you may also add this manually if you wish, but it is not recommended). If granted, your torrent will be immediately added to Box's torrent pool (and if you are 'seeding', you will begin immediately). If rejected, your torrent will remain in 'limbo', sitting on the queue with 'rejected' status until either you or a mod removes it.

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

Offers require the approval of two admins or moderators before they are added to the tracker. 'Semi-granted' is the state an offer acquires when one admin/mod has granted it, pending further approval.

=== What can/can't I put in my torrents? ===

Please refer to our [[Rules#Torrent Content Upload Guidelines|Torrent Content Upload Guidelines]] and ('''ESPECIALLY''') the [[Blacklist]].

=== What should I put in the description? ===

Always include who released the files and as specfic as possible an indication of the quality (bit rate, codec, etc.). '''See the next paragraph for more details'''.
Include a short description of what you're uploading, usually people include a short plot summary; be careful of spoilers though.

You may mark-up your text using BBcode or HTML; you can find many examples of nice templates in other peoples' descriptions. While this is not necessary, you may like to 'pretty up' your description.
It's also very much appreciated if you include images and/or screenshots and links to sites like AniDB and AnimeNewsNetwork, although it is not necessary.
Please note: when using HTML, be sure to include <html><body> ... </body></html> in the description, or the system will not know that you are using HTML and will treat your commands differently.

We look for succinct, accurate descriptions of the contents of your torrent. '''With the exclusion of OST torrents, all descriptions MUST have genres specified in the description.''' In addition:
For series/movies/OVAs, a plot summary and file details (sub group with video and audio codecs at the very least) will suffice.For OSTs, track listings and file information (codec, bit rate (if applicable), and ripper at the very least) will do.For manga, a plot summary and the scanlation group are the minimum requirements.

=== What is a good title for my torrent? ===

The title only needs to contain the original Japanese title and possibly the English title as well. You may add the name(s) of the involved group(s) in the title as well (example: Japanese Title | English Title [fansub]). Words like "OVA" or "Movie" are not always necessary because of the category system (however, if the title of the show includes "OVA" or "Movie", you should add it). In case you're uploading only a particular season of a longer series, it is useful to include the season and/or the episodes (for example: My Series - Season 1 [01-25]).

=== What are good key words for my torrent? ===

You have to see the key words as a second way to categorise torrents. Choose key words that truthfully reflect the content of the files you're uploading and that allows it to be found in different ways than just searching for a title.

Good key words are: genres*, 720p/1080p, fansub group, author, director, that kind of stuff. Someone might be interested in all of "Miyazaki's" or Studio 4C works, searching for Miyazaki resp. Studio 4C will match the key words and you have what you're looking for.

Bad key words are: anything that appears in the title of the torrent or is already expressed otherwise (OST, OVA, HD, Movie, etc.). Alternate titles, codecs, and your own personal comments do not belong in key words. Either add them to your title, or to your description. Fansub groups are permissible as key words, even if they are already included in your torrent title.

*- When listing genres, use AniDB's categories, not AnimeNFO or ANN, for consistency.

===='''Guidelines:'''====

* First of all, ask yourself the question: "If I were looking for an anime 'like' this one, what key words would I be looking for?" and "which key words are not needed?"
* Secondly, drop near duplicate key words like 'Contemporary Fantasy' and 'Fantasy', as they are not both needed; just keep whichever applies more to your torrent.
* Add only useful key words. No one will search for key words such as 'mp3' or 'DVD'.
* Do '''not''' add duplicate key words, for instance "Yuki Kajiura" and "Kajiura Yuki" or "Science-Fiction" and "Sci-Fi". Add only the one that currently exists in our [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php key word list].
* This also holds for fansub names: add either (for instance) Abacus Subs or AbSubs, but not both; the latter is preferred because it is shorter.Do '''not''' add alternative titles or alternative spellings. See title guidelines.
* Check the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php list of key words] for existing key words and/or common spellings. Keep in mind that the keyword listing is '''''case-sensitive''''' so match case, and '''matching other key words is better than making a new one'''.
* Check the [[Keywords|Keywords Wiki article]] for descriptions for most of the common keywords.

====Keyword syntax====

We've just discussed the semantics of keywords, but what about the syntax? First of all, not all characters are allowed. Only alphanumeric characters, dashes (-) and spaces are allowed. Furthermore, a keyword is allowed to have two spaces, no more. If you're making a keyword of a composed word (for instance: Mamoru Oshii) keep it one keyword, don't add a comma in between. Genres like "Magical girl" and "Law and Order" should also be written without commas.

====Adding key words to your torrent====

The field for entering key words is above the description entry box. Typing in a word (or part of a word) will call up suggestions in a box. These suggestions are comprised of key words that already exist on BoxTorrents. You should pick from the suggestions given to you to ensure consistency. Once you have clicked on the desired key word suggested, click 'Add' to associate it with your torrent. Repeat this process for as many key words as you need (currently, there is a character limit on the key words, so if you find that your last key word is getting cut off, remove it). Be sure to click 'Edit' below the description box when you're done, or none of your changes will be saved.

If you need to add a key word that isn't suggested, type it into the key word field and click on Add. This key word will be sent for moderation. If the key word is approved, it will be added to our official key word list and will appear on your torrent immediately. If rejected, it will be blacklisted, and will not show up again.

=== What are "extra files" and what should I add? ===

"Extra files" allow you to add (small) files to your torrent, files which you want to include but don't really belong in the torrent. You can think of SFV/MD5 files for file verification (or hash tables in general) or NFO files for credits and info. You are not allowed to add images. Linking to the files will not work, the link is dynamic and becomes invalid after 24 hours.

Any and all files released by the original source should be included as "extra files" (granted they do not violate the "extra files" rules, such as credits pages from manga. Leave those INSIDE your torrent).
All video torrents (series/movies/ova) should have, but do not require, at least an SFV or MD5 file with (official) hashes. You can get the CRCs from the fansubbers website or AniDB.net (the latter also lists md5 hashes amongst other hashes).

DO NOT include these extra files in the contents of your torrent. Your offer will not be accepted if this is the case.

=== How do I attach extra files? ===

Simply edit your torrent (after it's been offered or uploaded), and there will be a box for you to enter the path of files you with to upload below the description box. Simply select it and click upload, and it will be attached right away.

=== What should I put in my torrents? ===

What we look for in torrents are:

* [[FAQ#What should I put in the description?|A good description]]
* File quality: Free of hash errors.
* File consistency: If possible, all files released by a single group, all file names in the same format as they were originally released by the group involved (original file names). This applies to ALL torrents.
* File structure: Do not pack files under different folders unnecessarily. An example would be packing episodes 1-12 in one folder, and 13-24 in another within the same torrent. '''If uploading a manga, please follow these directions:''' Overlook archiving if the manga is very short (a oneshot), or if the scanlator(s) have released the entire manga in a single file. In these cases, unzip the file, but do not make any further modifications to folder structure or file names. If the scanlator(s) release a manga zipped by chapter (assuming there is more than one), retain the archived chapters and offer the files in that state.
* No 'unnecessary' files: do not include codecs or programs. Acceptable files are external translation notes (for series/movies/OVAs) and credits pages (for manga)). If you're unsure about anything, please say so in the comments of your torrent offer.

=== What is this torrent swapping feature? ===

If, for any reason, something is wrong with your torrent (such as containing improper files or lacking a version 2 of an episode), you may request to swap the .torrent file. This will negate the need to delete the torrent and upload it again. You may apply to swap your own torrent files when they are either in the Offer stage or they are registered with the tracker.

To do so, edit your torrent. There will be a section for you to select a new .torrent file to replace the current one and a space for you to enter a reason why. Upon sending the request, you will need to wait for a moderator or admin to grant the swap request.

=== Can I upload your torrents to other trackers? ===

No. This generates extra traffic for the tracker without users visiting the site itself. It also usually results in the torrent being overrun by bad leechers, as users are not aware of the site rules.

Complaints from other sites' administrative staff about our torrents being posted on their sites will result in the banning of the users responsible.

(However, the files you download from us are yours to do as you please. You can always create another torrent, pointing to some other tracker, and upload it to the site of your choice.)

== Downloading/Seeding ==
=== 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'. 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 an incentive for people to become Power Users, and also provides a higher seed base when other users are permitted to join the swarm.

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

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

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

'Uploading' is posting a new torrent to our tracker.

'Seeding' is uploading data on a torrent once you have completed the download.

=== Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear? ===

There may be three reasons for this:
# The torrent may have been out-of-sync with the [[Rules|site rules]].
# The uploader or a moderator may have deleted it because it contained bad files. A replacement will probably be uploaded to take its place.
# The torrent was requested to be removed by a 3rd party.

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

Once your download has completed, most clients will continue to run the torrent in seeding mode until the ratio is 1:1. If this is not the case, try some of these steps:
1) Simply press Start on your torrent again. Some clients might stop torrents that have finished downloading.
2) Check your client's settings regarding how much a torrent should be seeded to before stopping. Your settings may be preventing seeding. (e.g., uTorrent's 'Torrent Properties' dialogue box for each torrent has a ratio percentage figure which you can adjust)3) Force the torrent to start (e.g., in uTorrent, right click on the torrent entry and click 'Force Start'). This will force your client to ignore the rule mentioned above and seed until you stop the torrent.4) If all else fails, remove the torrent from your client, and see below for instructions on how to restore it to your client.

=== How do I resume a broken download or (re)seed something? ===

Open the .torrent file in your client. When your client asks you for a download location, choose the location of the existing file(s), force a recheck/rehash. Start the torrent, and it will resume/reseed (see the entry above for more information).
Please note that most clients will require that file names match the ones specified in the .torrent file when it comes to multi-file torrents. Make sure that this is the case, or your client will not detect the files you have pointed it to.
If, for whatever reason, you have decided to rename your files, then you have two choices:
1) (Re)Rename your files to match the torrent's.2) Find a torrent client that supports custom file names in multi-file torrents. At the time of this guide, the newest uTorrent beta and Azureus clients support individual custom file names in multi-file torrents. For more information, see the programs' web pages.

=== I'm seeding a torrent, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything! ===

First, check that you actually have someone to upload any data to. If you are on a torrent that has something like 10 seeders and 2 leechers, the chances of you uploading a great deal are slim to none.
Second, see [[FAQ#Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?)|this entry in the FAQ]] if you are not sure whether your ports are open.

=== Why do my downloads sometimes stall at 99%? ===

The more pieces you have, the harder it becomes to find peers who have pieces you are missing. That is why downloads sometimes slow down or even stall when there are just a few percent remaining. Just be patient and you will, sooner or later, get the remaining pieces.

=== 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 the hash fails topic. 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. Overhead may also account for some of this data.

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

If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise, read on.

IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one. It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloaded torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running simultaneously: the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the background, and is therefore still locking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.

A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruption that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running Windows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives. NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)

== How can I improve my download speed? ==
The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio (SLR). Poor download speed is mainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low.

(side note: make sure you remember that you did not enjoy the low speed. Seed so that others will not endure the same.)

There are a couple of things that you can try on your end to improve your speed:

=== Do not immediately jump on new torrents ===

In particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around the half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seed so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)

=== Make yourself connectable ===

See the [[FAQ#Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?)|Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?)]]  section.

=== Limit your upload speed ===

The upload speed affects the download speed in essentially two ways:

# Bittorrent peers tend to favour those other peers that upload to them. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
# Due to the way TCP works, when A is downloading something from B it has to keep telling B that it received the data sent to him. (These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "got it!" messages). If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds.

The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing the ACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoretical upload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping the upload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.)

If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account. Some clients (e.g. Azureus) limit global upload speed, others (e.g. Shad0w's) do it on a per torrent basis. Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else (e.g. browsing or ftp), always think of the overall upload speed.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous connections ===

Some operating systems (like Windows 9x) do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash. Also some home routers (particularly when running NAT and/or firewall with stateful inspection services) tend to become slow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100 and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances of a client running the numbers add up.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous uploads ===

Isn't this the same as above? No. Connections limit the number of peers your client is talking to and/or downloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number is typically much lower than the number of connections, and highly dependent on your (physical) connection.

=== Just give it some time ===

As explained above peers favour other peers that upload to them. When you start leeching a new torrent you have nothing to offer to other peers and they will tend to ignore you. This makes the starts slow, in particular if, by change, the peers you are connected to include few or no seeders. The download speed should increase as soon as you have some pieces to share.

=== Why is my browsing so slow while leeching? ===

Your download speed is always finite. If you are a peer in a fast torrent it will almost certainly saturate your download bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. A client like Azureus allows the user to limit uploads & downloads. You will have to use a third-party solution, such as [http://www.netlimiter.com/ NetLimiter].

Browsing was used just as an example, the same would apply to gaming, IMing, etc...

== My ISP uses a transparent proxy. What should I do? ==

''Caveat: This is a large and complex topic. It is not possible to cover all variations here.''

Short reply: change to an ISP that does not force a proxy upon you. If you cannot or do not want to then read on.

=== What is a proxy? ===

Basically a middleman. When you are browsing a site through a proxy your requests are sent to the proxy and the proxy forwards them to the site instead of you connecting directly to the site. There are several classifications (the terminology is far from standard):

{|border="1"
|-
! '''Type''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! Transparent ||align="left"| A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.)
|-
! Explicit/Voluntary ||align="left"|Clients must configure their browsers to use them.
|-
! Anonymous ||align="left"|The proxy sends no client identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not sent; the server does not see your IP.)
|-
! Highly Anonymous ||align="left"| The proxy sends no client or proxy identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION headers are not sent; the server doesn't see your IP and doesn't even know you're using a proxy.)
|-
! Public ||align="left"| (Self explanatory) 
|-
|}

A transparent proxy may or may not be anonymous, and there are several levels of anonymity.

===How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?===

Try [http://www.proxyjudge.org ProxyJudge]. It lists the HTTP headers that the server where it is running received from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.

===Why is my port listed as "---" even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?===

The BoxTorrents tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the tracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.

== Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me? ==
Your failure to connect may be due to several reasons.

=== Maybe my address is blacklisted? ===
The site blocks addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script that blocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particular it does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if your address is blacklisted. If you cannot then the reason for the problem lies elsewhere.

=== Your ISP blocks the site's address ===
(In first place, it's unlikely your ISP is doing so. DNS name resolution and/or network problems are the usual culprits.)
There's nothing we can do. You should contact your ISP (or get a new one). Note that you can still visit the site via a proxy, follow the instructions in the relevant section. In this case it doesn't matter if the proxy is anonymous or not, or which port it listens to.

Notice that you will always be listed as an "unconnectable" client because the tracker will be unable to check that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.

== Is there an RSS feed available for BoxTorrents? ==
RSS Feeds are only available for Power Users. You will see the RSS Feed link appear when you become one.

FoRCe - An mIRC script is available that will check the RSS feed every x minutes, if there are any new torrents uploaded then it lists the new torrents, you can also manually check for new torrents. [http://force.power-net.org/?page=mscripts&gsinfo=1 Information about the script], [http://force.power-net.org/?page=download&section=mscripts&id=1 Download Link].

== What if I can't find the answer to my problem here? ==
Post in the [http://forums.BoxTorrents.com/ forums], by all means. You'll find it's a friendly and helpful place, provided you follow a few basic guidelines:
* Make sure your problem is not answered in this FAQ. There's no point in posting just to be sent back here.
* Before posting, '''read the stickied topics''' (the ones at the top). 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 you tell the easiest it will be for us, and the more probable your post will get a reply.
* And needless to say: be polite. Demanding help rarely works, asking 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://www.boxtorrents.com/help.php the help form] instead.
* To prove that you have read this FAQ before seeking help, please quote the words 'Gelatin Fish Sandwich' 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.

== What makes BoxTorrents different? ==

There are many anime torrent sites but BoxTorrents is unique in the quality of our content. Our goal is to provide only torrents for completed anime or anime-related material and we pick only the best versions. Not everyone may submit new torrents: only Power Users, users who seem to have at least some experience with our site, and other appointed users. All submissions are thoroughly checked before they are added to our ever growing list of series; by ''ever growing'', we really mean ever growing in the sense that even old torrents are still seeded. In short: 'quality over quantity' and 'ease of use'. Do keep in mind that BoxTorrents exists because of its users; old content is still available because of many dedicated seeders, so sharing is a must.

This is a public tracker, but we do prefer users to register before using the site. Before you do anything here at BoxTorrents, we suggest you read the rules! There are only a few rules to abide by and most are common sense.

If you see anything in here that is out of date or incorrect, or you'd like to add something, please contact [http://www.boxtorrents.com/userdetails.php?id=260057 psyren].

== Site content information ==
=== What is this Bittorrent all about anyway? How do I get the files? ===

Check out [http://www.btfaq.com Brian's Bittorrent FAQ and Guide].

=== How do I watch the files I download? ===

Visit [http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page this page] and have a look around.
The CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is the simplest codec pack available on the internet, and the simplest codec pack to set up. Out of the box, it is practically guaranteed to play anything that you throw at it (from our site, of course).
If you have any problems, please look [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 here] for possible solutions. If you can't find one, you may either post in the forums asking for help or use the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/help.php Help Form].

=== Where can I learn more about codecs/anime/manga/Japanese culture? ===

[http://www.google.com Google] and [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] are your friends.
For specific information on Japanese animations, there are 3 main resources: [http://anidb.net AniDB], [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)], and [http://www.animenfo.com AnimeNFO]. Each site offers unique information on any given title.

For specific information on manga, there's [http://www.mangaupdates.com MangaUpdates] and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)].

== User information ==
=== 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.
Note though that if you didn't receive the email the first time it will probably not succeed the second time either so you should really try another email address.

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

Please use [http://www.boxtorrents.com/recover.php this form] to have the login details mailed back to you.

=== Can you rename my account? ===

Users can rename their account on the tracker by using [http://www.boxtorrents.com/changename.php this form]. Please note that the user is required to be a power user with report privileges.

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

Used accounts are pruned after 6 months. Unused accounts are pruned sooner (0 download, 0 upload).

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

Unfortunately, we can't do anything about pruned accounts. If you were able to create a new account under the same name and/or e-mail address, it is proof that your old account is permanently gone.

=== What is MY ratio? ===

Click on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile link], then on your user name (at the top).

It's important to distinguish between your overall ratio and the individual ratio on each torrent you may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloaded from your account since you joined the site. The individual ratio takes into account those values for each torrent.

You may see two symbols instead of a number: "Inf.", which is just an abbreviation for Infinity, and means that you have downloaded 0 bytes while uploading a non-zero amount (ul/dl becomes infinity); "---", which should be read as "non-available", and shows up when you have both downloaded and uploaded 0 bytes (ul/dl = 0/0 which is an indeterminate amount).

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

Only you and the site moderators can view your IP address and email. Other users do not see that information.

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

This problem sometimes occurs with MSIE. Close all Internet Explorer windows and open Internet Options in the control panel. Click the Delete Cookies button. You should now be able to login.
Another solution is to visit http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php

=== Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?) ===

The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.

This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously a detrimental effect on the overall speed.

The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections (the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring your NAT server to use a basic form of NAT for that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models. Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on the subject at [http://www.portforward.com PortForward]).

=== What are the different user classes? ===
{|border="1"
|-
! '''Class''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! User ||align="left"| Normal user, can choose to view hentai.
|-
! Power User ||align="left"|Higher user, can view peer lists and report bad torrents or comments. Can make offers of torrents they wish to upload.
|-
! Uploader ||align="left"|These people can upload directly to the torrent pool without requiring moderator approval. These people are appointed by staff if deemed a trustworthy member of the Box community.
|-
! Power Uploader ||align="left"| Same as power user but with upload rights.
|-
! Moderator/Admins ||align="left"| Appointed by Admins. Don't ask about becoming one.
|-
|}

=== How do I become a Power User? ===

Upload at least 25GB and have a ratio equal to or greater than 1.

=== How do I view peer lists for torrents? ===

Become a Power User and click on the Peer List tab under torrent descriptions. Non-Power Users can not view peer lists.

=== How do I add an avatar to my profile? ===

First, find an image that you like, and that is within the rules. Then you will have to upload to some webspace, such as Photobucket, Upload-It! or ImageShack. All that is left to do is copy the URL (direct link) you were given when uploading it to the avatar field in your profile.

Please do not add a comment just to test your avatar. If everything is alright you'll see it in your details page.

=== I am warned, what do I do? ===

'''What is a warning?'''
* A warning means that your account currently has reduced rights; namely, you may not download. If you are warned it means you did something very wrong. The warning is there to protect other users, do keep in mind that BoxTorrents only works because many users put in some effort and bandwidth to keep our torrents healthy.

'''Why was I warned?'''
* The warning may be set automatically if your ratio drops below a certain point or it may be set by a moderator if you broke a rule. In the second case, warnings will be longer depending on the severity of your offence that garnered the warning.

'''Ok, so now what?'''
* While your are warned you may not download; you are only allowed to seed. When you are warned an ''evaluation'' time will be scheduled (usually 1 week ahead), your account is then re-evaluated and if your ratio is high enough the warning will be lifted. If your ratio is not high enough a new evaluation time will be scheduled, and so on.
If you got warned because of a bad ratio (or if you you think you got warned because of a bad ratio ;) ) - the only way to get rid of the warning is by increasing your upload. The most obvious way is by seeding, but you may also use the bonus system (see: [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#80f179e93e791a8a90d6b48c649c1fd9 What are bonus torrents?]). A third option is donating; the why and how is explained on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/donate.php donation] page.

== Tracker Issues ==
===Failure: access denied, leeching forbidden, you are only allowed to seed===
Cause: Your ratio is too low.

Solution: Seed more and improve your ratio.

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

Cause: Your passkey's secrecy has been compromised.

Solution: See the entry below.

=== People are using my torrent key / I accidentally posted my torrent key ===

Cause: Your torrent key identifies you as a user; never give it to anyone. Staff will never ask for you torrent key.

Solution: Go to your Profile and generate a new key, all your old torrents will become invalid immediately so you will have to re-download your torrents.

=== I accidentally posted a link to download.php and I'm being charged for the downloads ===

Cause: When you are logged in the download.php links are for your user, if you post them people will get your torrent and your key. If you are logged out the links are anonymous, posting them elsewhere will not work as they are only valid for 24 hours. Generating a new key does not solve this problem.

Solution: Wait 24 hours for the download link to become invalid (download links are only valid for 24 hours) or remove the download link from where you posted it. If no more new people are given your key you can generate a new key to get rid of the 'leechers'.

=== 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.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent pass" ===

Cause: The tracker can not find a user associated with the torrent pass you're sending it in your announce URL.

Solution: Re-download the torrent from the site.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent" ===

Cause: The torrent you downloaded is not/no longer tracked by our tracker.

Solution: Check if the torrent has been swapped or replaced. We occasionally prune old obsolete torrents or material that has become blacklisted.

=== "Failure: access denied, torrents limit reached" ===

Cause: You are downloading too many torrents.

Solution: Users are allowed to download 3 torrent at a time. Power Users are allowed to download 10 torrents at a time. You are allowed to seed an unlimited number of torrents. Check your userpage to see which torrents you are allegedly downloading.

=== 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 an icon that looks like a yellow ball with a red "'''B'''" inside. When you seed a bonus torrent (and have 100%) you will earn 1 bonus point per hour per bonus torrent. Bonus points can be exchanged for upload credit on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/bonus.php bonus] page (this means you can add an amount onto your 'uploaded' stat on your user page).

== Statistics Tracking ==
=== How is my traffic tracked? ===

BoxTorrents uses a passkey system to identify each user. Your passkey can be found on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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 allow people to generate torrent traffic under your account. We will not be held responsible for any adverse effects this may have.

=== 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://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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.

=== 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: 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? ===

There is currently no restriction on which clients you may use, but this will most likely change in the future. The tracker updates your stats correctly for most Bittorrent clients. However, we still recommend that you use the following clients:
- '''uTorrent''' [http://www.utorrent.com/ website]
- '''Azureus''' (aka Vuze) [http://http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ website]

For any client, we urge you to keep it up to date, most clients have had some problems with earlier versions.

Also, clients in alpha or beta version should be avoided.

We neither recommend nor will we provide support for:
- BitComet
- BitLord (modified BitComet with spyware added)
- Shareaza

=== Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile? ===

If for some reason (e.g. PC crash or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never have had its finished information sent and will be listed until the peer information times out. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.

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

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 will eventually go away.

=== Why do I sometimes see torrents I'm not leeching in my profile?! ===

Under our new keying system, it is not possible for the tracker to confuse you with another peer. If you see torrents listed in your profile that you are DEFINITELY not leeching/seeding on, then we suggest you take the following actions:
'''Change the e-mail and password on your account.''' If you did not give out your passkey then someone either has access to your email account or your Boxtorrents user account (or both).'''Go to your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile page] and generate a new torrent pass.''' This will invalidate all your previous torrents ending whatever damage was done to your account. You will need to redownload your torrents.

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

Yes.

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

Yes, '''but you may not seed the ''same'' torrent from two different computers''' as the tracker will not understand. In the worst case you will banned.

== Uploading ==
=== Why can't I upload torrents? ===

Power Users can make offers of torrents they wish to upload, which will be granted or rejected by staff. Staff members and certain approved users are permitted to upload directly without having to go through the approval procedure.
Non-Power Users can not make offers.

=== How do I make an offer if I'm a Power User? ===

First, begin by reading this section of the FAQ to make sure that you fully understand what is required of you. Failure to do so will see your offer rejected (depending on the mood of the staff member who handles it). Once you have finished reading, click the 'Offer' button on the left side of the page. When creating your torrent, be sure to set the 'private' flag, or the system will automatically reject your torrent. Once you've created your torrent, fill in the description of your torrent. Once you submit your torrent for approval, it will join a queue of torrents awaiting judgement. You may leave your client 'seeding' your torrent at this point, but make sure you redownload the torrent from the website to have your passkey added to the announce URL (you may also add this manually if you wish, but it is not recommended). If granted, your torrent will be immediately added to Box's torrent pool (and if you are 'seeding', you will begin immediately). If rejected, your torrent will remain in 'limbo', sitting on the queue with 'rejected' status until either you or a mod removes it.

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

Offers require the approval of two admins or moderators before they are added to the tracker. 'Semi-granted' is the state an offer acquires when one admin/mod has granted it, pending further approval.

=== What can/can't I put in my torrents? ===

Please refer to our Upload Guidelines ([http://www.boxtorrents.com/rules.php found here]) and (ESPECIALLY) the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?topic=37.0 Do Not Upload list].

=== What should I put in the description? ===

Always include who released the files and as specfic as possible an indication of the quality (bit rate, codec, etc.). '''See the next paragraph for more details'''.
Include a short description of what you're uploading, usually people include a short plot summary; be careful of spoilers though.

You may mark-up your text using BBcode or HTML; you can find many examples of nice templates in other peoples' descriptions. While this is not necessary, you may like to 'pretty up' your description.
It's also very much appreciated if you include images and/or screenshots and links to sites like AniDB and AnimeNewsNetwork, although it is not necessary.
Please note: when using HTML, be sure to include <html><body> ... </body></html> in the description, or the system will not know that you are using HTML and will treat your commands differently.

We look for succinct, accurate descriptions of the contents of your torrent. '''With the exclusion of OST torrents, all descriptions MUST have genres specified in the description.''' In addition:
For series/movies/OVAs, a plot summary and file details (sub group with video and audio codecs at the very least) will suffice.For OSTs, track listings and file information (codec, bit rate (if applicable), and ripper at the very least) will do.For manga, a plot summary and the scanlation group are the minimum requirements.

=== What is a good title for my torrent? ===

The title only needs to contain the original Japanese title and possibly the English title as well. You may add the name(s) of the involved group(s) in the title as well (example: Japanese Title | English Title [fansub]). Words like "OVA" or "Movie" are not always necessary because of the category system (however, if the title of the show includes "OVA" or "Movie", you should add it). In case you're uploading only a particular season of a longer series, it is useful to include the season and/or the episodes (for example: My Series - Season 1 [01-25]).

=== What are good key words for my torrent? ===

You have to see the key words as a second way to categorise torrents. Choose key words that truthfully reflect the content of the files you're uploading and that allows it to be found in different ways than just searching for a title.

Good key words are: genres*, 720p/1080p, fansub group, author, director, that kind of stuff. Someone might be interested in all of "Miyazaki's" or Studio 4C works, searching for Miyazaki resp. Studio 4C will match the key words and you have what you're looking for.

Bad key words are: anything that appears in the title of the torrent or is already expressed otherwise (OST, OVA, HD, Movie, etc.). Alternate titles, codecs, and your own personal comments do not belong in key words. Either add them to your title, or to your description. Fansub groups are permissible as key words, even if they are already included in your torrent title.

*- When listing genres, use AniDB's categories, not AnimeNFO or ANN, for consistency.

===='''Guidelines:'''====

* First of all, ask yourself the question: "If I were looking for an anime 'like' this one, what key words would I be looking for?" and "which key words are not needed?"
* Secondly, drop near duplicate key words like 'Contemporary Fantasy' and 'Fantasy', as they are not both needed; just keep whichever applies more to your torrent.
* Add only useful key words. No one will search for key words such as 'mp3' or 'DVD'.
* Do '''not''' add duplicate key words, for instance "Yuki Kajiura" and "Kajiura Yuki" or "Science-Fiction" and "Sci-Fi". Add only the one that currently exists in our [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php key word list].
* This also holds for fansub names: add either (for instance) Abacus Subs or AbSubs, but not both; the latter is preferred because it is shorter.Do '''not''' add alternative titles or alternative spellings. See title guidelines.
* Check the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php list of key words] for existing key words and/or common spellings. Keep in mind that the keyword listing is '''''case-sensitive''''' so match case, and '''matching other key words is better than making a new one'''.
* Check the [[Keywords|Keywords Wiki article]] for descriptions for most of the common keywords.

====Keyword syntax====

We've just discussed the semantics of keywords, but what about the syntax? First of all, not all characters are allowed. Only alphanumeric characters, dashes (-) and spaces are allowed. Furthermore, a keyword is allowed to have two spaces, no more. If you're making a keyword of a composed word (for instance: Mamoru Oshii) keep it one keyword, don't add a comma in between. Genres like "Magical girl" and "Law and Order" should also be written without commas.

====Adding key words to your torrent====

The field for entering key words is above the description entry box. Typing in a word (or part of a word) will call up suggestions in a box. These suggestions are comprised of key words that already exist on BoxTorrents. You should pick from the suggestions given to you to ensure consistency. Once you have clicked on the desired key word suggested, click 'Add' to associate it with your torrent. Repeat this process for as many key words as you need (currently, there is a character limit on the key words, so if you find that your last key word is getting cut off, remove it). Be sure to click 'Edit' below the description box when you're done, or none of your changes will be saved.

If you need to add a key word that isn't suggested, type it into the key word field and click on Add. This key word will be sent for moderation. If the key word is approved, it will be added to our official key word list and will appear on your torrent immediately. If rejected, it will be blacklisted, and will not show up again.

=== What are "extra files" and what should I add? ===

"Extra files" allow you to add (small) files to your torrent, files which you want to include but don't really belong in the torrent. You can think of SFV/MD5 files for file verification (or hash tables in general) or NFO files for credits and info. You are not allowed to add images. Linking to the files will not work, the link is dynamic and becomes invalid after 24 hours.

Any and all files released by the original source should be included as "extra files" (granted they do not violate the "extra files" rules, such as credits pages from manga. Leave those INSIDE your torrent).
All video torrents (series/movies/ova) should have, but do not require, at least an SFV or MD5 file with (official) hashes. You can get the CRCs from the fansubbers website or AniDB.net (the latter also lists md5 hashes amongst other hashes).

DO NOT include these extra files in the contents of your torrent. Your offer will not be accepted if this is the case.

=== How do I attach extra files? ===

Simply edit your torrent (after it's been offered or uploaded), and there will be a box for you to enter the path of files you with to upload below the description box. Simply select it and click upload, and it will be attached right away.

=== What should I put in my torrents? ===

What we look for in torrents are:

[http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#1d460850b4a0c4f1c7ee620cec243fe4 A good description.]File quality: free of hash errors.File consistency: if possible, all files released by a single group, all file names in the same format as they were originally released by the group involved (original file names). This applies to ALL torrents.File structure: do not pack files under different folders unnecessarily. An example would be packing episodes 1-12 in one folder, and 13-24 in another within the same torrent.
If uploading a manga, please follow these directions:
Overlook archiving if the manga is very short (a oneshot), or if the scanlator(s) have released the entire manga in a single file. In these cases, unzip the file, but do not make any further modifications to folder structure or file names.
If the scanlator(s) release a manga zipped by chapter (assuming there is more than one), retain the archived chapters and offer the files in that state.No 'unnecessary' files: do not include codecs or programs. Acceptable files are external translation notes (for series/movies/OVAs) and credits pages (for manga)). If you're unsure about anything, please say so in the comments of your torrent offer.

=== What is this torrent swapping feature? ===

If, for any reason, something is wrong with your torrent (such as containing improper files or lacking a version 2 of an episode), you may request to swap the .torrent file. This will negate the need to delete the torrent and upload it again. You may apply to swap your own torrent files when they are either in the Offer stage or they are registered with the tracker.

To do so, edit your torrent. There will be a section for you to select a new .torrent file to replace the current one and a space for you to enter a reason why. Upon sending the request, you will need to wait for a moderator or admin to grant the swap request.

=== Can I upload your torrents to other trackers? ===

No. This generates extra traffic for the tracker without users visiting the site itself. It also usually results in the torrent being overrun by bad leechers, as users are not aware of the site rules.

Complaints from other sites' administrative staff about our torrents being posted on their sites will result in the banning of the users responsible.

(However, the files you download from us are yours to do as you please. You can always create another torrent, pointing to some other tracker, and upload it to the site of your choice.)

== Downloading/Seeding ==
=== 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'. 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 an incentive for people to become Power Users, and also provides a higher seed base when other users are permitted to join the swarm.

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

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

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

'Uploading' is posting a new torrent to our tracker.

'Seeding' is uploading data on a torrent once you have completed the download.

=== Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear? ===

There may be three reasons for this:
# The torrent may have been out-of-sync with the site [http://www.boxtorrents.com/rules.php rules].
# The uploader or a moderator may have deleted it because it contained bad files. A replacement will probably be uploaded to take its place.
# The torrent was requested to be removed by a 3rd party.

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

Once your download has completed, most clients will continue to run the torrent in seeding mode until the ratio is 1:1. If this is not the case, try some of these steps:
1) Simply press Start on your torrent again. Some clients might stop torrents that have finished downloading.
2) Check your client's settings regarding how much a torrent should be seeded to before stopping. Your settings may be preventing seeding. (e.g., uTorrent's 'Torrent Properties' dialogue box for each torrent has a ratio percentage figure which you can adjust)3) Force the torrent to start (e.g., in uTorrent, right click on the torrent entry and click 'Force Start'). This will force your client to ignore the rule mentioned above and seed until you stop the torrent.4) If all else fails, remove the torrent from your client, and see below for instructions on how to restore it to your client.

=== How do I resume a broken download or (re)seed something? ===

Open the .torrent file in your client. When your client asks you for a download location, choose the location of the existing file(s), force a recheck/rehash. Start the torrent, and it will resume/reseed (see the entry above for more information).
Please note that most clients will require that file names match the ones specified in the .torrent file when it comes to multi-file torrents. Make sure that this is the case, or your client will not detect the files you have pointed it to.
If, for whatever reason, you have decided to rename your files, then you have two choices:
1) (Re)Rename your files to match the torrent's.2) Find a torrent client that supports custom file names in multi-file torrents. At the time of this guide, the newest uTorrent beta and Azureus clients support individual custom file names in multi-file torrents. For more information, see the programs' web pages.

=== I'm seeding a torrent, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything! ===

First, check that you actually have someone to upload any data to. If you are on a torrent that has something like 10 seeders and 2 leechers, the chances of you uploading a great deal are slim to none.
Second, see [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#714b90d89c6693257791e1b80d99c00a this entry in the FAQ] if you are not sure whether your ports are open.

=== Why do my downloads sometimes stall at 99%? ===

The more pieces you have, the harder it becomes to find peers who have pieces you are missing. That is why downloads sometimes slow down or even stall when there are just a few percent remaining. Just be patient and you will, sooner or later, get the remaining pieces.

=== 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 the hash fails topic. 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. Overhead may also account for some of this data.

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

If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise, read on.

IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one. It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloaded torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running simultaneously: the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the background, and is therefore still locking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.

A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruption that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running Windows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives. NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)

== How can I improve my download speed? ==
The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio (SLR). Poor download speed is mainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low.

(side note: make sure you remember that you did not enjoy the low speed. Seed so that others will not endure the same.)

There are a couple of things that you can try on your end to improve your speed:

=== Do not immediately jump on new torrents ===

In particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around the half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seed so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)

=== Make yourself connectable ===

See the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#714b90d89c6693257791e1b80d99c00a Why is my port listed as "---"]  section.

=== Limit your upload speed ===

The upload speed affects the download speed in essentially two ways:

# Bittorrent peers tend to favour those other peers that upload to them. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
# Due to the way TCP works, when A is downloading something from B it has to keep telling B that it received the data sent to him. (These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "got it!" messages). If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds.

The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing the ACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoretical upload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping the upload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.)

If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account. Some clients (e.g. Azureus) limit global upload speed, others (e.g. Shad0w's) do it on a per torrent basis. Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else (e.g. browsing or ftp), always think of the overall upload speed.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous connections ===

Some operating systems (like Windows 9x) do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash. Also some home routers (particularly when running NAT and/or firewall with stateful inspection services) tend to become slow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100 and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances of a client running the numbers add up.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous uploads ===

Isn't this the same as above? No. Connections limit the number of peers your client is talking to and/or downloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number is typically much lower than the number of connections, and highly dependent on your (physical) connection.

=== Just give it some time ===

As explained above peers favour other peers that upload to them. When you start leeching a new torrent you have nothing to offer to other peers and they will tend to ignore you. This makes the starts slow, in particular if, by change, the peers you are connected to include few or no seeders. The download speed should increase as soon as you have some pieces to share.

=== Why is my browsing so slow while leeching? ===

Your download speed is always finite. If you are a peer in a fast torrent it will almost certainly saturate your download bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. A client like Azureus allows the user to limit uploads & downloads. You will have to use a third-party solution, such as [http://www.netlimiter.com/ NetLimiter].

Browsing was used just as an example, the same would apply to gaming, IMing, etc...

== My ISP uses a transparent proxy. What should I do? ==

''Caveat: This is a large and complex topic. It is not possible to cover all variations here.''

Short reply: change to an ISP that does not force a proxy upon you. If you cannot or do not want to then read on.

=== What is a proxy? ===

Basically a middleman. When you are browsing a site through a proxy your requests are sent to the proxy and the proxy forwards them to the site instead of you connecting directly to the site. There are several classifications (the terminology is far from standard):

{|border="1"
|-
! '''Type''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! Transparent ||align="left"| A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.)
|-
! Explicit/Voluntary ||align="left"|Clients must configure their browsers to use them.
|-
! Anonymous ||align="left"|The proxy sends no client identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not sent; the server does not see your IP.)
|-
! Highly Anonymous ||align="left"| The proxy sends no client or proxy identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION headers are not sent; the server doesn't see your IP and doesn't even know you're using a proxy.)
|-
! Public ||align="left"| (Self explanatory) 
|-
|}

A transparent proxy may or may not be anonymous, and there are several levels of anonymity.

===How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?===

Try [http://www.proxyjudge.org ProxyJudge]. It lists the HTTP headers that the server where it is running received from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.

===Why is my port listed as "---" even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?===

The BoxTorrents tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the tracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.

== Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me? ==
Your failure to connect may be due to several reasons.

=== Maybe my address is blacklisted? ===
The site blocks addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script that blocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particular it does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if your address is blacklisted. If you cannot then the reason for the problem lies elsewhere.

=== Your ISP blocks the site's address ===
(In first place, it's unlikely your ISP is doing so. DNS name resolution and/or network problems are the usual culprits.)
There's nothing we can do. You should contact your ISP (or get a new one). Note that you can still visit the site via a proxy, follow the instructions in the relevant section. In this case it doesn't matter if the proxy is anonymous or not, or which port it listens to.

Notice that you will always be listed as an "unconnectable" client because the tracker will be unable to check that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.

== Is there an RSS feed available for BoxTorrents? ==
RSS Feeds are only available for Power Users. You will see the RSS Feed link appear when you become one.

FoRCe - An mIRC script is available that will check the RSS feed every x minutes, if there are any new torrents uploaded then it lists the new torrents, you can also manually check for new torrents. [http://force.power-net.org/?page=mscripts&gsinfo=1 Information about the script], [http://force.power-net.org/?page=download&section=mscripts&id=1 Download Link].

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

== What makes BoxTorrents different? ==

There are many anime torrent sites but BoxTorrents is unique in the quality of our content. Our goal is to provide only torrents for completed anime or anime-related material and we pick only the best versions. Not everyone may submit new torrents: only Power Users, users who seem to have at least some experience with our site, and other appointed users. All submissions are thoroughly checked before they are added to our ever growing list of series; by ''ever growing'', we really mean ever growing in the sense that even old torrents are still seeded. In short: 'quality over quantity' and 'ease of use'. Do keep in mind that BoxTorrents exists because of its users; old content is still available because of many dedicated seeders, so sharing is a must.

This is a public tracker, but we do prefer users to register before using the site. Before you do anything here at BoxTorrents, we suggest you read the rules! There are only a few rules to abide by and most are common sense.

If you see anything in here that is out of date or incorrect, or you'd like to add something, please contact [http://www.boxtorrents.com/userdetails.php?id=260057 psyren].

== Site content information ==
=== What is this Bittorrent all about anyway? How do I get the files? ===

Check out [http://www.btfaq.com Brian's Bittorrent FAQ and Guide].

=== How do I watch the files I download? ===

Visit [http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page this page] and have a look around.
The CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is the simplest codec pack available on the internet, and the simplest codec pack to set up. Out of the box, it is practically guaranteed to play anything that you throw at it (from our site, of course).
If you have any problems, please look [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 here] for possible solutions. If you can't find one, you may either post in the forums asking for help or use the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/help.php Help Form].

=== Where can I learn more about codecs/anime/manga/Japanese culture? ===

[http://www.google.com Google] and [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] are your friends.
For specific information on Japanese animations, there are 3 main resources: [http://anidb.net AniDB], [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)], and [http://www.animenfo.com AnimeNFO]. Each site offers unique information on any given title.

For specific information on manga, there's [http://www.mangaupdates.com MangaUpdates] and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com AnimeNewsNetwork (ANN)].

== User information ==
=== 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.
Note though that if you didn't receive the email the first time it will probably not succeed the second time either so you should really try another email address.

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

Please use [http://www.boxtorrents.com/recover.php this form] to have the login details mailed back to you.

=== Can you rename my account? ===

Users can rename their account on the tracker by using [http://www.boxtorrents.com/changename.php this form]. Please note that the user is required to be a power user with report privileges.

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

Used accounts are pruned after 6 months. Unused accounts are pruned sooner (0 download, 0 upload).

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

Unfortunately, we can't do anything about pruned accounts. If you were able to create a new account under the same name and/or e-mail address, it is proof that your old account is permanently gone.

=== What is MY ratio? ===

Click on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile link], then on your user name (at the top).

It's important to distinguish between your overall ratio and the individual ratio on each torrent you may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloaded from your account since you joined the site. The individual ratio takes into account those values for each torrent.

You may see two symbols instead of a number: "Inf.", which is just an abbreviation for Infinity, and means that you have downloaded 0 bytes while uploading a non-zero amount (ul/dl becomes infinity); "---", which should be read as "non-available", and shows up when you have both downloaded and uploaded 0 bytes (ul/dl = 0/0 which is an indeterminate amount).

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

Only you and the site moderators can view your IP address and email. Other users do not see that information.

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

This problem sometimes occurs with MSIE. Close all Internet Explorer windows and open Internet Options in the control panel. Click the Delete Cookies button. You should now be able to login.
Another solution is to visit http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php

=== Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?) ===

The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.

This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously a detrimental effect on the overall speed.

The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections (the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring your NAT server to use a basic form of NAT for that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models. Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on the subject at [http://www.portforward.com PortForward]).

=== What are the different user classes? ===
{|border="1"
|-
! '''Class''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! User ||align="left"| Normal user, can choose to view hentai.
|-
! Power User ||align="left"|Higher user, can view peer lists and report bad torrents or comments. Can make offers of torrents they wish to upload.
|-
! Uploader ||align="left"|These people can upload directly to the torrent pool without requiring moderator approval. These people are appointed by staff if deemed a trustworthy member of the Box community.
|-
! Power Uploader ||align="left"| Same as power user but with upload rights.
|-
! Moderator/Admins ||align="left"| Appointed by Admins. Don't ask about becoming one.
|-
|}

=== How do I become a Power User? ===

Upload at least 25GB and have a ratio equal to or greater than 1.

=== How do I view peer lists for torrents? ===

Become a Power User and click on the Peer List tab under torrent descriptions. Non-Power Users can not view peer lists.

=== How do I add an avatar to my profile? ===

First, find an image that you like, and that is within the rules. Then you will have to upload to some webspace, such as Photobucket, Upload-It! or ImageShack. All that is left to do is copy the URL (direct link) you were given when uploading it to the avatar field in your profile.

Please do not add a comment just to test your avatar. If everything is alright you'll see it in your details page.

=== I am warned, what do I do? ===

'''What is a warning?'''
* A warning means that your account currently has reduced rights; namely, you may not download. If you are warned it means you did something very wrong. The warning is there to protect other users, do keep in mind that BoxTorrents only works because many users put in some effort and bandwidth to keep our torrents healthy.

'''Why was I warned?'''
* The warning may be set automatically if your ratio drops below a certain point or it may be set by a moderator if you broke a rule. In the second case, warnings will be longer depending on the severity of your offence that garnered the warning.

'''Ok, so now what?'''
* While your are warned you may not download; you are only allowed to seed. When you are warned an ''evaluation'' time will be scheduled (usually 1 week ahead), your account is then re-evaluated and if your ratio is high enough the warning will be lifted. If your ratio is not high enough a new evaluation time will be scheduled, and so on.
If you got warned because of a bad ratio (or if you you think you got warned because of a bad ratio ;) ) - the only way to get rid of the warning is by increasing your upload. The most obvious way is by seeding, but you may also use the bonus system (see: [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#80f179e93e791a8a90d6b48c649c1fd9 What are bonus torrents?]). A third option is donating; the why and how is explained on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/donate.php donation] page.

== Tracker Issues ==
===Failure: access denied, leeching forbidden, you are only allowed to seed===
Cause: Your ratio is too low.

Solution: Seed more and improve your ratio.

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

Cause: Your passkey's secrecy has been compromised.

Solution: See the entry below.

=== People are using my torrent key / I accidentally posted my torrent key ===

Cause: Your torrent key identifies you as a user; never give it to anyone. Staff will never ask for you torrent key.

Solution: Go to your Profile and generate a new key, all your old torrents will become invalid immediately so you will have to re-download your torrents.

=== I accidentally posted a link to download.php and I'm being charged for the downloads ===

Cause: When you are logged in the download.php links are for your user, if you post them people will get your torrent and your key. If you are logged out the links are anonymous, posting them elsewhere will not work as they are only valid for 24 hours. Generating a new key does not solve this problem.

Solution: Wait 24 hours for the download link to become invalid (download links are only valid for 24 hours) or remove the download link from where you posted it. If no more new people are given your key you can generate a new key to get rid of the 'leechers'.

=== 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.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent pass" ===

Cause: The tracker can not find a user associated with the torrent pass you're sending it in your announce URL.

Solution: Re-download the torrent from the site.

=== "Failure: unregistered torrent" ===

Cause: The torrent you downloaded is not/no longer tracked by our tracker.

Solution: Check if the torrent has been swapped or replaced. We occasionally prune old obsolete torrents or material that has become blacklisted.

=== "Failure: access denied, torrents limit reached" ===

Cause: You are downloading too many torrents.

Solution: Users are allowed to download 3 torrent at a time. Power Users are allowed to download 10 torrents at a time. You are allowed to seed an unlimited number of torrents. Check your userpage to see which torrents you are allegedly downloading.

=== 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 an icon that looks like a yellow ball with a red "'''B'''" inside. When you seed a bonus torrent (and have 100%) you will earn 1 bonus point per hour per bonus torrent. Bonus points can be exchanged for upload credit on the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/bonus.php bonus] page (this means you can add an amount onto your 'uploaded' stat on your user page).

== Statistics Tracking ==
=== How is my traffic tracked? ===

BoxTorrents uses a passkey system to identify each user. Your passkey can be found on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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 allow people to generate torrent traffic under your account. We will not be held responsible for any adverse effects this may have.

=== My stats are not updating, what can I do? ===

<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>Check that the torrent pass in your client's tracker announce URL matches the one shown on your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile page]. If it doesn't (or if it does, but you're still having problems), then:</li><li>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.</li><li>If that doesn't help, go to your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile 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.</li><li>Use only official non-beta clients.</li></ul>

=== Best practices ===

<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>If a torrent you are currently leeching or seeding is not listed on your userpage, stop the torrent and resume it again. (also see: I'm uploading or downloading some torrents but I don't see them on my userpage)</li><li>Make sure you exit your client properly, so that the tracker receives the required information.</li><li>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.</li></ul>

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

There is currently no restriction on which clients you may use, but this will most likely change in the future. The tracker updates your stats correctly for most Bittorrent clients. However, we still recommend that you use the following clients:
- '''uTorrent''' [http://www.utorrent.com/ website]
- '''Azureus''' (aka Vuze) [http://http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ website]

For any client, we urge you to keep it up to date, most clients have had some problems with earlier versions.

Also, clients in alpha or beta version should be avoided.

We neither recommend nor will we provide support for:
- BitComet
- BitLord (modified BitComet with spyware added)
- Shareaza

=== Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile? ===

If for some reason (e.g. PC crash or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never have had its finished information sent and will be listed until the peer information times out. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.

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

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 will eventually go away.

=== Why do I sometimes see torrents I'm not leeching in my profile?! ===

Under our new keying system, it is not possible for the tracker to confuse you with another peer. If you see torrents listed in your profile that you are DEFINITELY not leeching/seeding on, then we suggest you take the following actions:
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>'''Change the e-mail and password on your account.''' If you did not give out your passkey then someone either has access to your email account or your Boxtorrents user account (or both).</li><li>'''Go to your [http://www.boxtorrents.com/my.php profile page] and generate a new torrent pass.''' This will invalidate all your previous torrents ending whatever damage was done to your account. You will need to redownload your torrents.</li></ul>

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

Yes.

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

Yes, '''but you may not seed the ''same'' torrent from two different computers''' as the tracker will not understand. In the worst case you will banned.

== Uploading ==
=== Why can't I upload torrents? ===

Power Users can make offers of torrents they wish to upload, which will be granted or rejected by staff. Staff members and certain approved users are permitted to upload directly without having to go through the approval procedure.
Non-Power Users can not make offers.

=== How do I make an offer if I'm a Power User? ===

First, begin by reading this section of the FAQ to make sure that you fully understand what is required of you. Failure to do so will see your offer rejected (depending on the mood of the staff member who handles it). Once you have finished reading, click the 'Offer' button on the left side of the page. When creating your torrent, be sure to set the 'private' flag, or the system will automatically reject your torrent. Once you've created your torrent, fill in the description of your torrent. Once you submit your torrent for approval, it will join a queue of torrents awaiting judgement. You may leave your client 'seeding' your torrent at this point, but make sure you redownload the torrent from the website to have your passkey added to the announce URL (you may also add this manually if you wish, but it is not recommended). If granted, your torrent will be immediately added to Box's torrent pool (and if you are 'seeding', you will begin immediately). If rejected, your torrent will remain in 'limbo', sitting on the queue with 'rejected' status until either you or a mod removes it.

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

Offers require the approval of two admins or moderators before they are added to the tracker. 'Semi-granted' is the state an offer acquires when one admin/mod has granted it, pending further approval.

=== What can/can't I put in my torrents? ===

Please refer to our Upload Guidelines ([http://www.boxtorrents.com/rules.php found here]) and (ESPECIALLY) the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?topic=37.0 Do Not Upload list].

=== What should I put in the description? ===

Always include who released the files and as specfic as possible an indication of the quality (bit rate, codec, etc.). '''See the next paragraph for more details'''.
Include a short description of what you're uploading, usually people include a short plot summary; be careful of spoilers though.

You may mark-up your text using BBcode or HTML; you can find many examples of nice templates in other peoples' descriptions. While this is not necessary, you may like to 'pretty up' your description.
It's also very much appreciated if you include images and/or screenshots and links to sites like AniDB and AnimeNewsNetwork, although it is not necessary.
Please note: when using HTML, be sure to include <html><body> ... </body></html> in the description, or the system will not know that you are using HTML and will treat your commands differently.

We look for succinct, accurate descriptions of the contents of your torrent. '''With the exclusion of OST torrents, all descriptions MUST have genres specified in the description.''' In addition:
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>For series/movies/OVAs, a plot summary and file details (sub group with video and audio codecs at the very least) will suffice.</li><li>For OSTs, track listings and file information (codec, bit rate (if applicable), and ripper at the very least) will do.</li><li>For manga, a plot summary and the scanlation group are the minimum requirements.</li></ul>

=== What is a good title for my torrent? ===

The title only needs to contain the original Japanese title and possibly the English title as well. You may add the name(s) of the involved group(s) in the title as well (example: Japanese Title | English Title [fansub]). Words like "OVA" or "Movie" are not always necessary because of the category system (however, if the title of the show includes "OVA" or "Movie", you should add it). In case you're uploading only a particular season of a longer series, it is useful to include the season and/or the episodes (for example: My Series - Season 1 [01-25]).

=== What are good key words for my torrent? ===

You have to see the key words as a second way to categorise torrents. Choose key words that truthfully reflect the content of the files you're uploading and that allows it to be found in different ways than just searching for a title.
Good key words are: genres*, 720p/1080p, fansub group, author, director, that kind of stuff. Someone might be interested in all of "Miyazaki's" or Studio 4C works, searching for Miyazaki resp. Studio 4C will match the key words and you have what you're looking for.

Bad key words are: anything that appears in the title of the torrent or is already expressed otherwise (OST, OVA, HD, Movie, etc.). Alternate titles, codecs, and your own personal comments do not belong in key words. Either add them to your title, or to your description. Fansub groups are permissible as key words, even if they are already included in your torrent title.

'''FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:'''
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>First of all, ask yourself the question: "If I were looking for an anime 'like' this one, what key words would I be looking for?" and "which key words are not needed?"</li><li>Secondly, drop near duplicate key words like 'Contemporary Fantasy' and 'Fantasy', as they are not both needed; just keep whichever applies more to your torrent.</li><li>Add only useful key words. No one will search for key words such as 'mp3' or 'DVD'.</li><li>Do '''not''' add duplicate key words, for instance "Yuki Kajiura" and "Kajiura Yuki" or "Science-Fiction" and "Sci-Fi". Add only the one that currently exists in our [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php key word list].</li><li>This also holds for fansub names: add either (for instance) Abacus Subs or AbSubs, but not both; the latter is preferred because it is shorter.</li><li>Do '''not''' add alternative titles or alternative spellings. See title guidelines.</li><li>Check the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/keywords.php list of key words] for existing key words and/or common spellings. Keep in mind that the keyword listing is '''''case-sensitive''''' so match case, and '''matching other key words is better than making a new one'''.</li></ul>* When listing genres, use AniDB's categories, not AnimeNFO or ANN, for consistency.

'''Keyword syntax'''
We've just discussed the semantics of keywords, but what about the syntax? First of all, not all characters are allowed. Only alphanumeric characters, dashes (-) and spaces are allowed. Furthermore, a keyword is allowed to have two spaces, no more. If you're making a keyword of a composed word (for instance: Mamoru Oshii) keep it one keyword, don't add a comma in between. Genres like "Magical girl" and "Law and Order" should also be written without commas.

'''Adding key words to your torrent'''

The field for entering key words is above the description entry box. Typing in a word (or part of a word) will call up suggestions in a box. These suggestions are comprised of key words that already exist on BoxTorrents. You should pick from the suggestions given to you to ensure consistency. Once you have clicked on the desired key word suggested, click 'Add' to associate it with your torrent. Repeat this process for as many key words as you need (currently, there is a character limit on the key words, so if you find that your last key word is getting cut off, remove it). Be sure to click 'Edit' below the description box when you're done, or none of your changes will be saved.

If you need to add a key word that isn't suggested, type it into the key word field and click on Add. This key word will be sent for moderation. If the key word is approved, it will be added to our official key word list and will appear on your torrent immediately. If rejected, it will be blacklisted, and will not show up again.

=== What are "extra files" and what should I add? ===

"Extra files" allow you to add (small) files to your torrent, files which you want to include but don't really belong in the torrent. You can think of SFV/MD5 files for file verification (or hash tables in general) or NFO files for credits and info. You are not allowed to add images. Linking to the files will not work, the link is dynamic and becomes invalid after 24 hours.

Any and all files released by the original source should be included as "extra files" (granted they do not violate the "extra files" rules, such as credits pages from manga. Leave those INSIDE your torrent).
All video torrents (series/movies/ova) should have, but do not require, at least an SFV or MD5 file with (official) hashes. You can get the CRCs from the fansubbers website or AniDB.net (the latter also lists md5 hashes amongst other hashes).

DO NOT include these extra files in the contents of your torrent. Your offer will not be accepted if this is the case.

=== How do I attach extra files? ===

Simply edit your torrent (after it's been offered or uploaded), and there will be a box for you to enter the path of files you with to upload below the description box. Simply select it and click upload, and it will be attached right away.

=== What should I put in my torrents? ===

What we look for in torrents are:

<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>[http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#1d460850b4a0c4f1c7ee620cec243fe4 A good description.]</li><li>File quality: free of hash errors.</li><li>File consistency: if possible, all files released by a single group, all file names in the same format as they were originally released by the group involved (original file names). This applies to ALL torrents.</li><li>File structure: do not pack files under different folders unnecessarily. An example would be packing episodes 1-12 in one folder, and 13-24 in another within the same torrent.
If uploading a manga, please follow these directions:
Overlook archiving if the manga is very short (a oneshot), or if the scanlator(s) have released the entire manga in a single file. In these cases, unzip the file, but do not make any further modifications to folder structure or file names.
If the scanlator(s) release a manga zipped by chapter (assuming there is more than one), retain the archived chapters and offer the files in that state.</li><li>No 'unnecessary' files: do not include codecs or programs. Acceptable files are external translation notes (for series/movies/OVAs) and credits pages (for manga)). If you're unsure about anything, please say so in the comments of your torrent offer.</li></ul>

=== What is this torrent swapping feature? ===

If, for any reason, something is wrong with your torrent (such as containing improper files or lacking a version 2 of an episode), you may request to swap the .torrent file. This will negate the need to delete the torrent and upload it again. You may apply to swap your own torrent files when they are either in the Offer stage or they are registered with the tracker.

To do so, edit your torrent. There will be a section for you to select a new .torrent file to replace the current one and a space for you to enter a reason why. Upon sending the request, you will need to wait for a moderator or admin to grant the swap request.

=== Can I upload your torrents to other trackers? ===

No. This generates extra traffic for the tracker without users visiting the site itself. It also usually results in the torrent being overrun by bad leechers, as users are not aware of the site rules.

Complaints from other sites' administrative staff about our torrents being posted on their sites will result in the banning of the users responsible.

(However, the files you download from us are yours to do as you please. You can always create another torrent, pointing to some other tracker, and upload it to the site of your choice.)

== Downloading/Seeding ==
=== 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'. 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 an incentive for people to become Power Users, and also provides a higher seed base when other users are permitted to join the swarm.

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

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

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

'Uploading' is posting a new torrent to our tracker.

'Seeding' is uploading data on a torrent once you have completed the download.

=== Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear? ===

There may be three reasons for this:
# The torrent may have been out-of-sync with the site [http://www.boxtorrents.com/rules.php rules].
# The uploader or a moderator may have deleted it because it contained bad files. A replacement will probably be uploaded to take its place.
# The torrent was requested to be removed by a 3rd party.

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

Once your download has completed, most clients will continue to run the torrent in seeding mode until the ratio is 1:1. If this is not the case, try some of these steps:
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>1) Simply press Start on your torrent again. Some clients might stop torrents that have finished downloading.
</li><li>2) Check your client's settings regarding how much a torrent should be seeded to before stopping. Your settings may be preventing seeding. (e.g., uTorrent's 'Torrent Properties' dialogue box for each torrent has a ratio percentage figure which you can adjust)</li><li>3) Force the torrent to start (e.g., in uTorrent, right click on the torrent entry and click 'Force Start'). This will force your client to ignore the rule mentioned above and seed until you stop the torrent.</li><li>4) If all else fails, remove the torrent from your client, and see below for instructions on how to restore it to your client.</li></ul>

=== How do I resume a broken download or (re)seed something? ===

Open the .torrent file in your client. When your client asks you for a download location, choose the location of the existing file(s), force a recheck/rehash. Start the torrent, and it will resume/reseed (see the entry above for more information).
Please note that most clients will require that file names match the ones specified in the .torrent file when it comes to multi-file torrents. Make sure that this is the case, or your client will not detect the files you have pointed it to.
If, for whatever reason, you have decided to rename your files, then you have two choices:
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>1) (Re)Rename your files to match the torrent's.</li><li>2) Find a torrent client that supports custom file names in multi-file torrents. At the time of this guide, the newest uTorrent beta and Azureus clients support individual custom file names in multi-file torrents. For more information, see the programs' web pages.</li></ul>

=== I'm seeding a torrent, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything! ===

First, check that you actually have someone to upload any data to. If you are on a torrent that has something like 10 seeders and 2 leechers, the chances of you uploading a great deal are slim to none.
Second, see [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#714b90d89c6693257791e1b80d99c00a this entry in the FAQ] if you are not sure whether your ports are open.

=== Why do my downloads sometimes stall at 99%? ===

The more pieces you have, the harder it becomes to find peers who have pieces you are missing. That is why downloads sometimes slow down or even stall when there are just a few percent remaining. Just be patient and you will, sooner or later, get the remaining pieces.

=== 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 the hash fails topic. 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. Overhead may also account for some of this data.

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

If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise, read on.

IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one. It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloaded torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running simultaneously: the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the background, and is therefore still locking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.

A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruption that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running Windows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives. NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)

== How can I improve my download speed? ==
The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio (SLR). Poor download speed is mainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low.

(side note: make sure you remember that you did not enjoy the low speed. Seed so that others will not endure the same.)

There are a couple of things that you can try on your end to improve your speed:

=== Do not immediately jump on new torrents ===

In particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around the half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seed so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)

=== Make yourself connectable ===

See the [http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#714b90d89c6693257791e1b80d99c00a Why is my port listed as "---"]  section.

=== Limit your upload speed ===

The upload speed affects the download speed in essentially two ways:

# Bittorrent peers tend to favour those other peers that upload to them. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
# Due to the way TCP works, when A is downloading something from B it has to keep telling B that it received the data sent to him. (These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "got it!" messages). If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds.

The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing the ACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoretical upload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping the upload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.)

If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account. Some clients (e.g. Azureus) limit global upload speed, others (e.g. Shad0w's) do it on a per torrent basis. Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else (e.g. browsing or ftp), always think of the overall upload speed.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous connections ===

Some operating systems (like Windows 9x) do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash. Also some home routers (particularly when running NAT and/or firewall with stateful inspection services) tend to become slow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100 and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances of a client running the numbers add up.

=== Limit the number of simultaneous uploads ===

Isn't this the same as above? No. Connections limit the number of peers your client is talking to and/or downloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number is typically much lower than the number of connections, and highly dependent on your (physical) connection.

=== Just give it some time ===

As explained above peers favour other peers that upload to them. When you start leeching a new torrent you have nothing to offer to other peers and they will tend to ignore you. This makes the starts slow, in particular if, by change, the peers you are connected to include few or no seeders. The download speed should increase as soon as you have some pieces to share.

=== Why is my browsing so slow while leeching? ===

Your download speed is always finite. If you are a peer in a fast torrent it will almost certainly saturate your download bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. A client like Azureus allows the user to limit uploads & downloads. You will have to use a third-party solution, such as [http://www.netlimiter.com/ NetLimiter].

Browsing was used just as an example, the same would apply to gaming, IMing, etc...

== My ISP uses a transparent proxy. What should I do? ==

''Caveat: This is a large and complex topic. It is not possible to cover all variations here.''

Short reply: change to an ISP that does not force a proxy upon you. If you cannot or do not want to then read on.

=== What is a proxy? ===
Basically a middleman. When you are browsing a site through a proxy your requests are sent to the proxy and the proxy forwards them to the site instead of you connecting directly to the site. There are several classifications (the terminology is far from standard):

<table style="border-width: 0px;"><tr><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Transparent</td><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.)</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Explicit/Voluntary</td><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Clients must configure their browsers to use them.</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Anonymous</td><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">The proxy sends no client identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not sent; the server does not see your IP.)</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Highly Anonymous</td><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">The proxy sends no client or proxy identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION headers are not sent; the server doesn't see your IP and doesn't even know you're using a proxy.)</td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">Public</td><td style="padding: 2px 4px;">(Self explanatory)</td></tr></table>

{|border="1"
|-
! '''Type''' !! '''Description'''
|-
! Transparent ||align="left"| A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.)

|-
|}

A transparent proxy may or may not be anonymous, and there are several levels of anonymity.

===How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?===

Try [http://www.proxyjudge.org ProxyJudge]. It lists the HTTP headers that the server where it is running received from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.

===Why is my port listed as "---" even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?===

The BoxTorrents tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the tracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.

== Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me? ==
Your failure to connect may be due to several reasons.

=== Maybe my address is blacklisted? ===
The site blocks addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script that blocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particular it does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if your address is blacklisted. If you cannot then the reason for the problem lies elsewhere.

=== Your ISP blocks the site's address ===
(In first place, it's unlikely your ISP is doing so. DNS name resolution and/or network problems are the usual culprits.)
There's nothing we can do. You should contact your ISP (or get a new one). Note that you can still visit the site via a proxy, follow the instructions in the relevant section. In this case it doesn't matter if the proxy is anonymous or not, or which port it listens to.

Notice that you will always be listed as an "unconnectable" client because the tracker will be unable to check that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.

== Is there an RSS feed available for BoxTorrents? ==
RSS Feeds are only available for Power Users. You will see the RSS Feed link appear when you become one.

FoRCe - An mIRC script is available that will check the RSS feed every x minutes, if there are any new torrents uploaded then it lists the new torrents, you can also manually check for new torrents. [http://force.power-net.org/?page=mscripts&gsinfo=1 Information about the script], [http://force.power-net.org/?page=download&section=mscripts&id=1 Download Link].

== What if I can't find the answer to my problem here? ==
Post in the [http://forums.BoxTorrents.com/ forums], by all means. You'll find it's a friendly and helpful place, provided you follow a few basic guidelines:
<ul style="margin: 0px"><li>Make sure your problem is not answered in this FAQ. There's no point in posting just to be sent back here.</li><li>Before posting, '''read the stickied topics''' (the ones at the top).

Keywords

2008-09-10T21:09:50Z

ZeroGman: /^ Keywords */ Made spacing consistent

BoxTorrents uses keywords to separate content into different genres. This is a brief guide and reference to the more commonly used keywords used on BoxTorrents.

If a keyword is missing, it may not have been added yet, or is considered to minor to add. (Such as publishers, producers, and mangakas that are used very few times)





==O==

*'''Office Lady''' - Usually this refers to hentai material where the leading female works in an office or office-like environment. Should NOT be used if the woman is a nurse, teacher, student, or some other easily identifiable profession.
*'''Omanga''' - A scanlation group, they do not specialize in a certain genre and have infrequent releases. [http://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=86 Baka Updates]
*'''Oneshot''' - This is used when a manga is only a single chapter in length. Usually the chapter is quite long so that the author can get an entire story out of it.

==P==
*'''Pantsu''' - This work involves panty shots, and usually lots of them. This should always be used with the Ecchi keyword, but is usually NOT associated with hentai material.
*'''Parallel Universe''' - The setting in this work takes place where two worlds are usually next to each other, but separated by a barrier, time, or some other means that can not be crossed by normal means.
*'''Parody''' - This work mocks other works, the subject, or even the author themselves, using humorous or satirical imitation.
*'''Piloted Robots''' - This work involves piloting robots, often the robots are much larger than the pilot themselves. The Mecha keyword is almost always paired with this one.
*'''Police''' - This work involves the police, or some other legitamite criminal investigation group. This can be used for one, many, or all aspects of police work.
*'''Post-apocalyptic''' - The setting of this work is set after an apocalypse, or some other major event that led to almost complete destruction of the world. Wars and natural disasters are the most commonly used events.

*'''Power Suits''' - This refers to when the characters use suits that augment/enhance their existing abilities and/or grant new abilities to them. What is unique about this is that the suits rely on the users ability and are not piloted, but worn.
*'''Proxy Battles''' - This work involves fighting where the combatants do not engage each other directly.

So yeah, I got this page started up, but it still needs a bit more information. I will add it later when I have time if nobody else does; however, I still would like someoen to at least verify it since I am not going to claim to be an expert on the subject! --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 18:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

ZeroGman: /* Codecs */ Started the codecs page, needs more information...

This article is meant to offer a brief explanation of the most common Codecs used on BoxTorrents and is purely information. For codec troubleshooting, see the [[Common_Playback_Problems|Common Playback Problems]] BoxTorrents Wiki article, or visit the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forum] for help playing/installing codecs.

==Overview==
A codec is a device or software that is capable of decoding and/or encoding data, wether it be a digital data stream or signal. Basically, they are what we use to encode and decode virtually all of the content found on BoxTorrents. For the most part, we only worry about the decoding.

==Video Codecs==
Currently, many formats exist for video codecs, here are the more common ones found on BoxTorrents:


*'''MPEG-2''' -
*'''MPEG-4 Part 2''' -
*'''MPEG-4 Part 10''' -
*'''DivX, Xvid, FFmpeg, MPEG-4, and 3ivx''' -
*'''WMV''' -
*'''VC-1''' -
*'''x264''' -

==Audio Codecs==
Several audio formats exist as well, these apply to both movies and music/sounds. Here are some of the common ones used on BoxTorrents. (Coming soon!)


==Text Codecs==
Text codecs are used for files that contain softsubs, they are basically text that is rendered during playback separately from the video track instead of being rendered directly to the video file during encoding (hardsubs). The main advantage of using softsubs being that multiple subtitle/karaoke tracks can be packaged into one file or not used at all during playback. The main drawback is that it adds more overhead to the file.

The softsub file is sometimes a separate file, .sub for example, but is usually inside the [[Containers|container]] file. Here are the most common codecs used on BoxTorrents:

*'''SubStation Alpha''' - Commonly used on BoxTorrents. Supports both styled text and metadata. Has a precision of 10 milliseconds. Frequently encoded within a [[Containers|container]], thus rarely seen as a separate file. Uses a .ssa or .ass extension.
*'''VobSub''' - Common on BoxTorrents as well. VobSub is image-based so it doesn't support styled text or metadata. This is the codec used when the subtitles are ripped directly from the source DVD. These have a precision of 1 millisecond.

* Hardsubs are rendered directly into the video stream so a separate codec isn't required

ZeroGman:

I'll start from the bottom up, remember to only modify the first list since the second one will be used as a reference of sorts -[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]]

Does anyone have any opinions on this page? Formatting, content, or even how it should function as a whole? I don't mind doing it alone, but I'd like some feedback to help improve it. -[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]]

Just finished S and noticed this page is getting quite long. What about breaking up the thing into 28 different pages? 1 for table of content, 27 for separate pages (Although W,X,Y,Z and other smaller ones could be combined. --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 19:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

So far, this is looking quite good. I might add in some keywords myself if time allows. --[[User:Iindigo|Iindigo]] 22:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I was thinking though, what about making separate pages for different letters? I don't have a big problem with large pages and it shouldn't be a problem really since images can not be added as of right now. Linking would be a lot prettier too. The only drawback would be really large TOC on some pages, like S or M. --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 20:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

ZeroGman: /* Talk:Containers */ Just starting the discussion page for the Containers

Here is a rough draft of containers. I actually did this a few days ago, but forgot to mention it here in the discussion. Some feedback and/or more information would be great too since I essentially paraphrased the Wikipedia on this one. --[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]] 16:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

BT clients

2008-09-03T16:32:43Z

ZeroGman: /* BitTorrent Clients */ Changed Good and Bad to Recommended and Not Recommended, respectively. Sounds better, but feel free to change back if you don't like it.

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==
'''Please be sure to avoid all clients listed under ''[[BT Clients#Not Recommended|Not Recommended]]'' since they are not suggested to use with BoxTorrents because of different reasons.'''

===Recommended===
;[http://www.utorrent.com/ µTorrent] or [http://www.utorrent.com/ uTorrent] (Windows, WINE)
*One of the most preferred clients on BoxTorrents. This client is known for having a small distribution size, despite being feature rich, and using little system resources. Available for Windows and WINE emulation only.

;[http://www.vuze.com/app?service=home Vuze (''Azureus'')] (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* One of the most preferred clients on BoxTorrents. This client has recently changed name to Vuze from it's old name Azureus.
* What Vuze is unique for is it's 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. Dispite these enourmous flaws, it is still one of the best.
;[http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ rTorrent] (Linux, cygwin?)
* A mature BitTorrent client built around the libTorrent C++ library. Terminal based.

===Acceptable===
;[http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/ ABC] (Windows, Linux)

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

;[http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/ BitTorrent 5 (''Mainline'')] (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* The official BitTorrent client, nicknamed ''Mainline'' by developers. The last version before BitTorrent Inc. switched to the [[uTorrent]] build.
* The newest version for Mac is 4.27.2 and Linux 5.2.0.

;[http://www.bittorrent.com/ BitTorrent 6] (Windows)
* The official BitTorrent client. It is based on the [[uTorrent]] client. Only big difference from [[uTorrent]] is that it comes with support for BitTorrent DNA™.

;[http://www.167bt.com/intl/ BitSpirit] (Windows)

;[http://deluge-torrent.org/ Deluge] (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)

;[http://ktorrent.org/ KTorrent] (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)

;[http://thegraveyard.org/qtorrent.php QTorrent] (Windows, Linux, Mac)
* QTorrent bundles it's own version of BitTornado but depend on [http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt PyQt] (which you much install seperatly).

;[http://www.transmissionbt.com/ Transmission] (Linux, Mac OS X, BeOS)
* A client that runs on Unix based systems, Mac OS X, and BeOS. Default client for Ubuntu Linux, Zenwalk Linux and some other distributions. This client is known for having a small distribution size.

===Not Recommended===
;[http://www.bitcomet.com/ BitComet] (Windows)
* This client is not suggested for use in the BoxTorrents community. It is currently only available for the Windows platform.

;[http://www.bitlord.com/ BitLord] (Windows)
* This client is based on the [[BitComet]] client and includes adware and malware. It is not suggested for use in the BoxTorrents community. It is currently only available for the Windows platform.

;[http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/ Shareaza] (Windows)
* There exists two Shareza, one false and the true client. '''Shareza V4''' is the false one, and it comes bundled with '''adware'''. '''Shareza V2''' is the true client.

ZeroGman: Added note about second list

BoxTorrents uses keywords to separate content into different genres. This is a brief guide to the hundreds of keywords used on BoxTorrents.

<!--- A brief guide to Keywords would be nice in my opinion. I copied the current keyword list from Box, removed all of the parenthesis numbers, and will paste it here twice, but commented out for now.

First list will be the "short" list since I don't think we want to explain EVERY keyword, that would take weeks, maybe months to do. Only modify this first list!

I'll start from the bottom up, remember to only modify the first list since the second one will be used as a reference of sorts -[[User:ZeroGman|ZeroGman]]

Keywords

ZeroGman: /* Keywords */ Added Keywords page, needs A LOT of work! Currently appears since it is all commented out.

BoxTorrents uses keywords to separate content into different genres. This is a brief guide to the hundreds of keywords used on BoxTorrents.

<!--- A brief guide to Keywords would be nice in my opinion. I copied the current keyword list from Box, removed all of the parenthesis numbers, and will paste it here twice, but commented out for now.

First list will be the "short" list since I don't think we want to explain EVERY keyword, that would take weeks, maybe months to do.

How to create torrent files

2008-09-01T22:06:34Z

ZeroGman: /* Creating Torrent Files with Different Clients */ noted UI change from Official BitTorrent client 6.0 to 6.1

This article is aimed at providing a simple guide for BoxTorrents users to follow when creating torrents and offering them to the BoxTorrents tracker. Remember to read the [[Blacklist]] before attempting to offer to the tracker.

==Creating Torrent Files with Different Clients==
;Azureus:

;uTorrent 1.7 -1.8.1:
# Assemble the file(s) and folder(s) in the way you wish it to be presented. (ie. Series in folders, Manga in archived files, OSTs organized by CD)
# Open uTorrent
# Select '''File''' -> '''Create New Torrent''', or alternatively select the '''Create New Torrent''' button
# To select a single file, select '''Add File'''. To select a folder containing files and folders, select '''Add Directory'''.
# Select the files or folders you wish to upload and press '''OK'''.
# In the Trackers box, add the address '''http://tracker.boxtorrents.com:2710/announce.php'''
# Place a checkmark in the box that says '''private torrent'''.
# Select '''Create and Save as'''..., the .torrent file will be created.
# Select the destination you wish your file to be created in and click '''Save'''.
# You are done. You are now ready to offer to the tracker.

# Open BitTorrent
# Select '''File''' -> '''Create New Torrent''', or alternatively select the '''Create New Torrent''' button (The icon looks like a Sun for 6.0.0 to 6.0.3 | a magic wand on 6.1)
# To select a single file, select '''Add File'''. To select a folder containing files and folders, select '''Add Directory'''.
# Select the files or folders you wish to upload and press '''OK'''.
# In the Trackers box, add the address '''http://tracker.boxtorrents.com:2710/announce.php'''
# Place a checkmark in the box that says '''Private torrent'''. '''1'''
# Select '''Create and Save as'''..., the .torrent file will be created.
# Select the destination you wish your file to be created in and click '''Save'''.
# You are done. You are now ready to offer to the tracker.

'''1''' - Also, you may want to check '''Start seeding''' so you do not have to worry about doing so later.

;Transmission 1.3x:
# Assemble the file(s) and folder(s) in the way you wish it to be presented. (ie. Series in folders, Manga in archived files, OSTs organized by CD)
# Open Transmission
# Select '''File > Create Torrent File...''' or click the Create Torrent File button on the toolbar
# Select your file(s) or folder(s) in the file dialog that opens and press '''Select'''
# Click the "+" button under the Trackers box and add the address '''http://tracker.boxtorrents.com:2710/announce.php'''

# Check the '''Private''' checkbox
# Select where you would like your torrent file to be saved to by clicking '''Change...''' and click '''Select'''
# Click '''Create'''. You are now ready to offer your torrent to the BoxTorrents tracker.

Containers

2008-09-01T21:50:27Z

ZeroGman: Containers: Added summary at top, still needs table of contents

This article is meant to be purely informational, offering an overview of common containers found on BoxTorrents.

==Containers==

A container format is a file format that can contain various types of data, compressed by means of standardized audio/video codecs. The container file is used to identify and interleave the different data types. Simpler container formats can contain different types of audio codecs, while more advanced container formats can support multiple audio and video streams, subtitles, chapter-information, and meta-data - along with the synchronization information needed to play back the various streams together.

Some containers are exclusive to audio:
* AIFF (IFF file format, widely used on Mac OS platform)
* WAV (RIFF file format, widely used on Microsoft Windows platform)
* XMF (XMF Extensible Music Format XMF)

Other flexible containers can hold many types of audio and video, as well as other media. The most popular containers currently used on BoxTorrents are, but not limited too, the following:
* Advanced Systems Format (ASF) (standard container for Microsoft Windows Media Audio WMA and WMV
* AVI (the standard Microsoft Windows container, also based on RIFF)
* DivX (Media format created by DivX, Inc.)
* Matroska / MKV (not standard for any codec or system, but it is an open standard and open source container format).
* MPEG transport stream|MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) (a.k.a. MPEG-TS) (standard container for digital broadcasting; typically contains multiple video and audio streams, and an electronic program guide) and program stream (PS)
* MPEG-4 Part 14|MP4 (standard audio and video container for the MPEG-4 multimedia portfolio)
* Ogg (standard audio container for Xiph.Org Foundation|Xiph.org codecs, can also contain video (as in Ogg Theora))
* OGM ("Ogg Media", standard video container for Xiph.Org Foundation codecs)

There are many other container formats, only major ones and those pertaining to BoxTorrents will be mentioned here.

==Issues==
The following are several issues which exist over the container to use.
# Popularity; how widely supported a container is. (Not a big issue with CCCP)
# Overhead; the difference in file-size between two files with the same content in a different container. (MyVideo.ogg is 230Mb while MyVideo.mkv is 220Mb and final output is the same, just an example of this, not an actual case.)
# Support for advanced codec functionality. Older formats such as AVI do not support new codec features like B-frames, Variable_bitrate (VBR) audio, Variable frame rate (VFR) natively, although the format may be "hacked" to add support, creating compatibility problems.
# Support for advanced content, such as chapters, subtitles, meta-tags, user-data.
# Support of streaming media. (Not an issue with BoxTorrents though)

BT clients

2008-09-01T21:45:52Z

ZeroGman: Fixed spelling error

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==
'''Please be sure to avoid all clients listed under ''[[BT Clients#Bad|Bad]]'' since they are not suggested to use with BoxTorrents because of different reasons.'''

Common Playback Problems

2008-09-01T20:22:22Z

ZeroGman: /* Windows */ Added screen shot and further instructions to sound issue

On this page is a compiled list of commonly encountered problems when playing videos on different platforms.

__TOC__

==Platform Agnostic==
;Required:
# A functional computer made in the last 10 years
# A mouse
# A brain
# The ability to read
# Hands or other equipment capable of tactile movements

;Recommended:
# A functional computer made in the last 3 years
# A mouse and keyboard
# A working brain
# Intelligence and some modicum of education
# Hands

==Windows==

Please keep in mind that all solutions for the following problems assume that you have [[CCCP]] installed on your computer.

;I tried playing a video and the sound is awful! However, nobody else has complained...:
Run CCCP configuration again, and select an audio setting that best fits your speakers. You'll most likely have a 2.0 set-up. Select your speaker configuration from the drop down box on the first page of the CCCP Settings window. [http://i37.tinypic.com/11w3r7c.jpg Screenshot]
* True multi-channel sound can only be obtained with proper physical speaker configuration. Even if you have a 5.1 system, running a normal 3.5mm stereo output from your computer to it will only deliver 2.0 output.

;Why is the sound and video not synced in my h264 file?:
''Stolen from [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?topic=8513.0 Psyren's H.264 Guide]''

This guide is intended for use by those who are currently using the latest [http://www.cccp-project.net CCCP] (version 2008-1-24 as of this guide). For those who are not using it, find a way to disable your codec pack's h264 decoder.

;Some preliminary steps:
# Using Windows Media Player or VLC makes this guide pointless. I recommend Media Player Classic (included in the CCCP), or the newer Media Player Classic Home Cinema (google 'MPC HC').
# Free up your RAM. A lack of free RAM has been known to cause streaming problems between your HDD and CPU when playing video on older PCs, made all the worse by the CPU barely being able to keep up. Download [http://www.download.com/FreeRAM-XP-Pro/3000-2086-10070530.html?part=dl-FreeRAMXP&subj=dl&tag=button FreeRAM XP Pro] and run it to clear some free space in your memory before attempting to play the video.
# This is sort of a 'last resort' step, since it removes some of the eye candy that soft subs can provide. Pre-buffer the subtitles. This will cause special effects such as fading or dynamic resizing to not display, but it will remove a fair amount of laggy spots on h264 video. To do so, go to your CCCP start menu folder -> Filters -> VSFilter configuration. Go to the Misc. tab and check 'Pre-buffer subpictures'. Alternatively, if (for what ever reason) you use MPC's subtitle renderer, then go to MPC's options menu, click on the Subtitles option on the left side and make sure 'Number of subpictures to buffer ahead' is not set to 0. I have no idea what a good figure might be, as I've never had to use that option, but the default value is 3.

Now, onto the main part:

;Step 1:
* Go to your CCCP start menu folder, and click on the settings icon. Uncheck the 'h264' button, then click Next -> Apply. You MUST do this step first in order for the next to work.

;Step 2:
* Find and install CoreAVC Professional. Google (amongst other resources) is your friend here.

* Verify that playback will use the h264 codec you just installed instead of using ffdshow by playing a h264 video in MPC. If successful, the ffdshow video icon will not show up in your taskbar. Done.

* Test out this fix with the [http://varis.se/tom/box/1080ptest-1080p(h264.aac).mkv Kanon 2006 OP upscaled to 1080p]. More HD videos available from [http://thoranime.5gbfree.com/misc%20page.htm THORA's website].

If, after applying these 'fixes', your PC is still unable to play SD h264 encodes, then it's definitely time for a new PC or an upgrade. Remember, it's not the codec at fault, it's your PC. Don't complain to us that the PC you bought when the Beatles were around can't handle it.

;I hear dual audio playing in both languages!:
# Before anything, close the video.
# Get into the audio codec's settings. Programs -> Combined Community Codec Pack -> Filters -> FFDShow Audio Decoder Configuration.
# Select the "DirectShow Control" menu option on the left.
# Make sure the "Multiple ffdshow instances:" is set to one of the options that contain "only one". If it already is, select either "only one - check all previous filters" or "only one - check all filters in graph" if the other two still don't work. If by some weird chance this still doesn't fix your problem, use a different player. However, I have yet to find this solution not to work.
# Play the movie again, and only one audio track should be playing now.

;When I switch subtitle and/or audio tracks, the playback freezes!:
# This has happened for me only with ogm/ogg, only once on mkv videos. Unfortunately the only workaround to try is switching players. Please check the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forum] for help if changing players doesn't resolve this issue.

Obviously, please check the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forums] for issues not mentioned in here.

Second obviously, get the [http://www.cccp-project.net CCCP], this is emphasized enough that everyone should have it if they can use it. (If you haven't already, you must be truly stubborn!)

==Mac==

;I tried playing an AVI file in Quicktime Player (or some other QT-based player) but the video doesn't show up. What's wrong?:
Two possibilities exist:
*The AVI file uses DivX or XviD for its video track and you do not have a DivX codec installed. To resolve this, install [[Perian Quicktime Components]].
*Your AVI file is one of the rare videos that Quicktime/Perian will not play for some reason. The solution to this problem is to play the video with one the standalone video players listed at [[Mac Video Playback]].

;I have Perian installed, but MKV video files are either associated with a non-QT player or are not associated with any player at all. How can I fix this?:
By default, Quicktime Player cannot open MKV files. Because of this, even when Perian is installed, it will not show up as an application that is capable of opening MKV files. To fix this, first install [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25243/perian%27s-type-installer Perian's Type Installer]. If MKV files are still not associated with QT Player after that, use File > Get Info on any MKV file in the Finder, change its association in that window, and click "Change All...".

If, after applying these 'fixes', your PC is still unable to play SD h264 encodes, then it's definitely time for a new PC or an upgrade. Remember, it's not the codec at fault, it's your PC. Don't complain to us that the PC you bought when the Beatles were around can't handle it.

;I hear dual audio playing in both languages!:
# Before anything, close the video.
# Get into the audio codec's settings. Programs -> Combined Community Codec Pack -> Filters -> FFDShow Audio Decoder Configuration.
# Select the "DirectShow Control" menu option on the left.
# Make sure the "Multiple ffdshow instances:" is set to one of the options that contain "only one". If it already is, select either "only one - check all previous filters" or "only one - check all filters in graph" if the other two still don't work. If by some weird chance this still doesn't fix your problem, use a different player. However, I have yet to find this solution not to work.
# Play the movie again, and only one audio track should be playing now.

;When I switch subtitle and/or audio tracks, the playback freezes!:
# This has happened for me only with ogm/ogg, only once on mkv videos. Unfortunately the only workaround to try is switching players. Please check the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forum] for help if changing players doesn't resolve this issue.

Obviously, please check the [http://forums.boxtorrents.com/index.php?board=27.0 Playback Forums] for issues not mentioned in here.

Second obviously, get the [http://www.cccp-project.net CCCP], this is emphasized enough that everyone should have it if they can use it. (If you haven't already, you must be truly stubborn!)

;I tried playing an AVI file in Quicktime Player (or some other QT-based player) but the video doesn't show up. What's wrong?:
Two possibilities exist:
*The AVI file uses DivX or XviD for its video track and you do not have a DivX codec installed. To resolve this, install [[Perian Quicktime Components]].
*Your AVI file is one of the rare videos that Quicktime/Perian will not play for some reason. The solution to this problem is to play the video with one the standalone video players listed at [[Mac Video Playback]].

;I have Perian installed, but MKV video files are either associated with a non-QT player or are not associated with any player at all. How can I fix this?:
By default, Quicktime Player cannot open MKV files. Because of this, even when Perian is installed, it will not show up as an application that is capable of opening MKV files. To fix this, first install [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25243/perian%27s-type-installer Perian's Type Installer]. If MKV files are still not associated with QT Player after that, use File > Get Info on any MKV file in the Finder, change its association in that window, and click "Change All...".
