I love you.
Seconded.

Also, more googlesque syntax in the search would be nice. Some people have suggested using + and - before words to denote required and excluded terms.

Instead of sending the advanced options through php post, why not insert them into the search string (for example, search "category:anime subtitle:en audio:ja MyAnime" instead of "MyAnime" with those options selected) and then parse the string server-side? This would make linking to an advanced search easier possible. and combined with the rss makes for a powerful notification system. It could also be easily expanded to include any category/tag system you might decide to add.

Putting search restrictions into the search string also makes it easier to type for those of us who use smart keyword searching instead of the normal search box. Typing "tt myanime category:anime" is more intuitive than typing "tt myanime&type=1".

A way to return the results of multiple searches with a single search (a simple way to implement the homepage idea from btoast). You could use an apostrohe (,), a pipe (|) or just the word "OR" to separate multiple searches to be combined. In fact, I'd suggest using all three, since the first two may or may not be recognized some autolinking algorithms, each provides a fallback for the others. Thus btoast could get something like that page (though I'd expect them to just be sorted by date) by simply searching "toradora, clannad, soul eater" and could even apply different filters to each.

In my dream world, I'd be able to just throw a url like
hxxp://tokyotosho.com/rss/search/group:coalguys toradora|group:b2e one outs|group:gokigenyou maria-sama ga miteru 4th|group:lone
at my rss reader and get updates on all of them automatically, or at my torrent client to download them automatically.

I understand that all this parsing might be a burden on the server, but hopefully by sending people only exactly what they want to see, it'll make up for the performance hit with saved bandwidth.

Thanks for reading.

To the people wanting RSS, I found a neat Yahoo Pipes implementation.

Hey, this one thing had been bugging me for a while now, I even registered just to tell you about it.

The first thing someone wants to do when coming to TokyoToshokan is to preform a search, right? But the search box does not get focus when the page loads like it does on other pages where you search, like Google, AltaVista and even YouTube; so you have to grab your mouse and manually click the search box first.

You can make it get focus on page load easily, it's just a tiny change to the web code!

//the search box tag:
<input size="60" type="text" name="terms" />
//you give an id like this:
<input size="60" type="text" id="SearchBox" name="terms" />

//and your start body tag:
<body>
//you give an onLoad event like this:
<body onload="document.getElementById('SearchBox').focus();">

And voila, our lives become a little bit easier !

As it is, the "Batch" category seems pretty useless.  It's a hopeless mishmash of raws, English subs, foreign subs, raw manga, various scanlations (frequently with no indication of language), random Chinese stuff, and all of it's unsearchable as most of the details are in the comments.  Most English batch torrents that I've seen have resorted to just filing directly under Anime or Manga, as appropriate.  It would make much more sense if "Batch" were an additional trait that could be added to an existing tag -- so, for instance, select "Anime" from the radio buttons when submitting a torrent, then filling in a "batch" checkbox.

On a related note, it would be pretty handy if we could specifically search submission comments.  Right now, anything in the comments may as well be invisible after it leaves the front page, and sometimes groups leave important details in them.

I'll also second the note about checking to see that a torrent link actually goes to a torrent rather than to another site's info page.  That's been getting more and more common lately, and is pretty irritating (right-click, Save As..., then finding that you've just saved a HTML file).

too lazy to trawl through 13 pages to look for anything similar to this so sorry if it's been said already.

i'd like to see something like a 'torrent wordfilter', that is you can filter out specific words in torrents as well as comments and never see torrents or comments that contain those words.

It would be nice if when submitting torrent the contents release date (maybe even just the year) could be specified. And then be able to search by release date. Instead of simply the date the torrent itself was released. I would like this because there is so many torrents/content continually being re-uploaded or re-released that searching through torrent release dates doesn't necessarily yield very much of the content you are looking for.
So then I could search for Anime released after 2007. Or Search for H-Vids released after 2008. Search for Anime (Batch) from before 1999.


Thanks for making TT, love the site!

hope can see something is done to site promoting bots or abusers posting torrents without proper reference site.

one of the recent occurrence are "www.doujin.com.ar"

e.g. everyday i will see a bunch of torrent posts done by "www.doujin.com.ar" linking to torrents in  e-hentai.org but without the proper link to the related torrent page at e-hentai.org. painful for some of us looking to it one by one everyday and nothing can be done to improve the situation. (well, the bot they make sucks and causing some annoyance.)

it is good to have someone posting the torrents up and give everyone a heads up but it is also annoying that they did not post it properly like linking to the advertise site or no reference site at all where there is one to it.

maybe put something up for users to correct the link? or develop a bot to automatically capture new torrents from major sites with the proper reference link to reduce such abuse?

I'd love this so I could filter out all the masses of re-encodes being put up lately.

And as said above, being allowed to post comments on individual torrents would be great.

Add a tag for re-encodes so they don't show up on the "Anime" list. There's so many re-encodes now that it's sometimes hard to find anything new on the first page. It would be brilliant if we could filter them out by a "Re-Encode" tag.
