Using dots to space filenames is a holdover from the early days of web pages when those pages were often constructed by hand. Until relatively recently, (pre-HTML5) browsers didn’t like spaces in URL addresses, so website construction apps would replace them with either dots, underscores, or “%20”. They were not however always consistent in their replacement, often resulting in dead links.
It’s relevant here because the link to the torrent file is through a page served through HTML. (what you are viewing here on Nyaa is a web page in that “language”. The address of this page “https://nyaa.si/view/992776”, the “Download torrent”, and the “Magnet” links are all URL links)
I suggest you not be quite so quick to put down FTP because, without it, you would have zero websites to visit. That admittedly ancient protocol (it actually dates from the late 1970s, before “personal computers” were common) is how one must upload a new website to the host machine in order to “publish” it to the web.
The filename inside the torrent is not in any URL, you retard. And even if it was, there never was any issue with spaces in filenames in the history of the web, because of percent encoding.
Sane people don’t use FTP, an unencrypted file transfer protocol, on shitty shared webhosts anymore. We all have VPSes and dedis these days, granpa
I’m a Nyaa.si dev, I sure as fuck hope I know how websites work.
We’re not exactly sure how periods vs spaces rustle your panties, but you’re more than free to watch this v2 version. Personally periods work better since some CLI environments recognize such filenames better.
Doremi-fansubs will probably outlive Nyaatorrents though and its numerous successors.
Please re-read the post you had replied to and blew your top over - A “link to the torrent file” is not a filename inside the torrent, it is instead the link to the torrent from this web page “https://nyaa.si/download/992776.torrent” that is a URL What the staff at Doremi are required to do internally to their filenames has nothing to do with your system.
Just because FTP was originally unencrypted back when it was written for mainframes and minicomputers a half-century ago. it does not automatically rule out the use of encryption. Many web hosting firms still require the use of FTP to upload to the systems they house… (both for Virtual and dedicated co-located host boxes)
You may be a dev, CheekyKoala, and it’s true that I actually am a grandparent, but your ill-considered replies make it appear that you don’t know the internals or history of what you are working with, regardless of your actual knowledge.
Maybe you should fix your fucked up internal systems that somehow can’t implement a URL spec from the 90s. The entire rest of the world has moved on already and can deal with spaces just fine.
I don’t think you realise what “Virtual Private Server” and “Dedicated Server” means. You have full root access. They don’t come with an ftpd preinstalled, you get sshd and KVM if you’re lucky and that’s it.
Considering I’ve actually looked up the URL scheme spec and seen that percent encoding is ancient and thus anything with spaces in the filename is not an issue, I’d say my actual knowledge runs deeper than your shared host LAMP-stack forumshitter “knowledge”.
The URL spec has nothing to do with the reason for the periods you are needlessly giving yourself an “atomic wedgie” over.
Different firms have differing pre-installed software on their Virtual Private and Dedicated servers. The ones I’m familiar with are not quite as bare bones as the ones you describe.
I’ll let you shoot yourself in the foot on that one.
Yeah, it’s true that monitors only display 8-bit. But people use 10-bit because it gives more bitrate efficiency for encodes. Basically, it’s more efficient all around to encode stuff in 10-bit and then do something called “dithering” on the media player’s end to create an 8-bit image that has no banding. Daiz wrote a nice post that gets into it.
@JimShew2 what’s giving me an “atomic wedgie” is not your filenames, but you being blatantly wrong on the internet while coming across with a preachy tone. I’m not going to let someone spout uninformed garbage unchallenged.

Boohoo! Wah Wah Wah! Boohoo!
That’s all I can hear.

Nice, thanks

What was fixed if I may ask?

The uploader re-timed the Doremi subs onto the FumeiRaws video. Doremi used Ohys-Raws originally.

This isn’t even true, lmao. URIs have nothing to do with HTML.
Percent encoding spaces is still what is done in URLs, it’s just that your browser decodes them before it shows it to you.
I don’t see how that’s relevant anyway, because we’re using torrents here, and not 90s sceneshitter FTP.

Jesus fuck you don’t know anything.
Seriously, just… what are you even smoking
Doremi-fansubs
We’ve used periods for 12 years now, ain’t gonna stop now. If you see them then you know it’s from Doremi, lol.
CheekyKoala
Why not limit your filenames to 8 characters and extensions to 3 characters, all uppercase-only, because that’s how DOS has been doing it for decades?

I hope Doremi would follow suit. Seriously, there’s no need for some anon to spell this one out for them.

4.1) Video must be H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoded with x264 8-bit.
10-bit is worthless and a waste of time.

but isnt 10bit pretty much useless on a monitor that can only handle 8bit? i mean how does the 8bit monitor handle a 10bit video?
Kuromii
^ please tell me you’re trolling
Edit: I thought that everyone knew why 10-bit encodes were favoured over 8-bit nowadays, but evidently not. My bad.

Kuromii, pls. It’s not an obvious question.

literally who the fuck cares about goddamn periods in pirated anime filenames are you fucking kidding me
WHY DO YOU CARE
fucking autists

Hey, Doremi. I think you missed this scene rule on that page.

Hey Doremi,
I think you missed also the scene rule about filenaming.
