It's creating the torrents and initial seeding that needs attention.

But will (s)he updates the torrent links when someone (probably me) uploads a new pack?
If he did update, then probably I can start packing when the next beatmap pack released
(0391-0400, 0001-0400 and 0301-0400)

(I will do the packing based on the beatmap pack mirror site listing (http://osu.yas-online.net/))

Ezoda got the information about all necessary things and you may contact him to help him out

P.S : sorry for not seeding, my internet is trash for this filesize (my upload is around 10KB/sec). i have to wait 1 week non-stop to actually finish it.

Its been a great fun for me to help the community to seed these beatmap torrents.
In the duration of April 30 to today, i have seeded 42145.59 GB to help speeding up the download of the beatmap packs.
Sadly, I have to cease all seeding operations indefinitely to make way for my real life stuff (i no longer have the time to take care of this server )
Hopefully I will come back seeding when I am out of those issues soon

Wow, I never realised just how much attention this all got, or how long I've been seeding all these packs... Although I haven't posted, I've been constantly seeding (and maintaining the tracker, without ever checking, yeah okay I'm weird)

Aha thanks very much, extra bandwidth is more than appreciated!
I've amended the URLs in my above post ^^

it seems that 301-400 beatmap torrents isn't compatible with (doesn't seem to be 100% complete when checked using qbittorrent file checker):
301-310
311-320
321-330
331-340
341-350
351-360
361-370
371-380
381-390
391-400

probably i will not seed those above packs and seed 301-400 instead (or maybe i provide a fixed torrent file?)
-OR-
i continue seed the above torrents and i provide a new 301-400?

The 301-400 megapack torrent is delivered in the same way as the previous megapacks 201-300 and is not interchangeable with the minipacks. It's unfortunate, but this is due to the way torrent protocols work
The 001-100 and 201-300 minipacks were only compatible with the megapacks as they were created after the megapacks. I don't imagine anyone even uses the minipacks between 001 and 200 any more...

This is how my folder structure works:


(Disregard the 401-400 folder there, that's just preparation and is not yet available)

In your case, and probably many others, the easiest thing is to copy all the packs from the minipack folders into the megapack folder, and seed that. Since a megapack is out, there isn't much need for the mini ones now anyway!


It's nice to see there are already people getting the 301-400 torrent, can those of you who do please seed for a while, no matter how slow your upload speed is (every little helps!) to help others. Thanks~

I actually seed both mini and megapacks (seed small packs if they aren't packed to 100s, then seed the big packs once they are available and kill minipacks off after a while)...

Those stopped are the affected torrents

Because, on the previous 100-pack torrent, they are both interchangable (i shove 1-400 pack to one giant folder and cross seed them as necessary to make the the bigger torrent packs available faster)

For now, I am trying to get 301-400 and see whether that makes those minipacks compatible, If not... that may be the end of the small pack seeding

Extra info:
I might make a 301-400 pack 1st if the previous option failed but it depends to you to swap the torrent file

This is the same as what I do, as per my 'offical' seedbox:

Do you mean the 201-300 torrent? As far as I'm aware that is not compatible with the minipacks (201-210, 211-220, 221-230, etc) or it shouldn't have been.. (Edit: Re-reading what you say here, do you have all the beatmap packs in one big folder, and all your torrents run from that? If so, that actually sounds client-specific and non-conforming to the bittorrent protocol..)

chong601 wrote:

If you pause the torrent, copy the .rar files from the minipack (301-310, 311-320, etc) folders into the megapack (0301-0400) folder, and then force a re-check, it should work correctly.

I'd rather not swap the file since it appears to be working correctly to me, the only issue seems to be with how those are being stored for you, and there are already plenty of peers using that torrent..


P.S. I see the 0001-0200 and 0001-0300 torrents in your client - those are deprecated and will soon be removed from my tracker

They do (since as you can see, 1-200 and 1-300 have 0 bytes on download)
Afaik, most torrent client do allow custom folder names (uTorrent, BitTorrent, libTorrent-based client). I am using qBittorrent though (used it since uTorrent keeps on filling up the RAM everytime it have >20 MB/s). qBittorrent allowed me to reach 40 MB/s on full load

Tried that, some packs aren't readed (only 86% complete)

Looks like I will be back to the old way of having the actual folder rather than one big folder containing all the packs if this doesn't work...
(used that method because of the 1-200 and 1-300 but ok)

Saw that yesterday, but thanks for the heads up!

Extra thing:
I might add another 100/100 Mbps unlimited quota server probably next month since it seems that I can use up the quota on this primary server before the end of the month (8 TB of them) so that the downloads will be smoother

Interesting, I've never seen that option in uTorrent before, unless it's in a newer version that I've never used. No idea on that
I wasn't counting the 1-200 and 1-300 torrent because as said, these should be considered deprecated - I actually have no idea how these were done as they weren't 'standard' and never appeared in my boxes.

That's very weird, since that's the way I do it on my boxes - otherwise getting these new torrents up would take forever!

If you can figure out some way to make your torrent client accept that, feel free! So long as the data seeded is correct. As far as I know, doing such doesn't strictly follow the bittorent spec, and I'd rather keep compatibility for those who don't understand the finer details of these things to minimise support-like questions.

That would be very appreciated! I'm looking to add an extra box sometime soon once I do the redesign (to make things easier for people) but more is definitely merrier!

I might delete all the torrents i have running now and use your links instead... i think possibly the contents on freakkater's torrent make this issue (maybe like atime or mtime)... (also if i still can't manage to get them work...)

yay page 16

I don't want to say anything specific, but considering the issues with the torrents from 340-390 (directory naming etc) I wouldn't surprised if there was some issue there. It seems that quality control went rather downhill as soon as he planned to stop contributing
If anyone's interested, the very basic first-design for the new osu!torrents page looks like this:

It actually now looks like this:

The new osu!torrents page is live and contains all valid links to the latest torrents! Find it at http://osu.hiramiya.me/torrents.htm

Nice design!

Btw, is those torrent links at http://tracker.hiramiya.me stilll considered as official? 331-340, 371-380 and 381-390 isn't compatible with 301-400... (the beatmap packs are obtained from 301-400 torrent)

The links on the new site actually just point to the original tracker address - they will still be valid for a while as I'm still rewriting the backend (and will at some point be modifying the actual tracker)

Thanks for pointing that out, the files themselves should be compatible as they're the exact same files (certainly I haven't done anything special with the actual packs) and that's how I made it work!

Considering the 301-400 torrent is out now, I think it's easier if everyone stops using the minipacks for those now, and just switches to the megapack. Something strange has happened with these torrents and it's not really worth the time to figure it out (since it makes no sense) especially as we won't have anything like this happen until the next 98 beatmap packs are out

If anyone does find themselves wanting to figure this out; the torrents are all made from their own folders (as shown in my folder structure image) using the exact same files. I think those three particular mentioned minipack torrents use a different piece size, and is confusing clients somehow. This doesn't make sense though, since the source files themselves are identical.

That means all minipacks from 1-400 will be deprecated?
this sucks
23h of seeding and 56 GB good job xD

Technically as soon as a 100-beatmap megapack was released, the minipacks were implicitly obsolete. I'm planning to make this situation more explicit, as once a 100-pack comes out there is really no need for the leading 10packs.
10packs will still be registered on the tracker (unlike the currently announced deprecated ones which will be removed) however they will not be listed on the osu!torrents page, and will not be seeded on my 'official' boxes. Others are welcome to seed, but everyone would be better off if the megapacks were seeded instead!

For anyone concerned about bandwidth use on the megapacks (i.e. downloading too much at once) they should be reminded you can select which files in a torrent you wish to download (standard functionality in most clients) and most clients also support download quotas to prevent going over any limits.

Edit: I realise I should probably clarify between obsolete and deprecated here.
Deprecated torrents are ones which will be removed from the tracker as they have been completely succeeded by another. In this case an entry and note will appear on the listings. (Example of this would be 401-425/450 451-500, which would be replaced by the full megapack)
Obsolete torrents are ones which still hold some meaning and will not be removed from the tracker, but should not be used as new (such as minipacks leading to a megapack) for the full set, only to update an existing collection (like for seed boxes) and will be removed from the 'official' boxes after a while.

There will be more information on the pages soon detailing anything I can think of, though I'm trying to balance time between documenting things, or improving the backend to provide more info~

Just a reminder that from 12am UTC (8 am UTC+8) 13 April 2015, I will stop seeding 1-200 and 1-300 since I am the only seeder available and no leechers available for the last 2-3 days (this marks the discontinuation of all 200s and 300s beatmap packs)
All uncompleted downloaders for pack 1-200 and 1-300 are encouraged to use 1-100, 101-200, 201-300 and 301-400 instead to continue downloading

sorry for double-posting

After a whole month of 7 TB of uploads and the ever-decreasing hard disk space on my virtual seedbox, I have planned to get a dedicated seedbox (current planned specs: 500 GB hard disk, either 20 TB monthly quota with a Gigabit connection or unmetered 100 Mbps, 4 GB RAM).

However, i might probably need to add donation links on both servers website (i probably still can manage running 2 seedbox at the same time and any extra sources of income definitely make my life smoother since i don't really have a stable income...)


UPDATE: the dedicated box is up, it may cause frequent random upload spikes to other seeders due to me optimizing the seeding speed

Just use google-ads, I will set it as my homepage and newtab so you will get money from them

Good job maintaining the torrents by the way

If anyone wants to find the download link, it is on the 3rd post on page 1

those with broken download speed, please download torrent

advertising is a no-no for me (because i don't like ads in my life)

btw, my 2nd server is killed due to unstable upload and hard disk issues.

it doesn't work for me too, but the links for the torrent still works and the torrents are healthy

uh....

The osu!torrents page is indeed up, the datacentre hosting that server had some issues and had to reboot various servers on a certain network segment - mine was probably one of them, though they didn't specify which were or not..
In worse news, the provider where the actual torrent tracker was running has decided not to renew my account despite me paying, so that is most likely not responding for anyone now! I'm working on getting a new tracker set up on a different server, and will get everything working so that torrents can at least announce correctly ASAP.

New tracker is alive and receiving plenty of announces, torrents will regain health over time.. File downloads will be restored soon.

(Once this all working there will also be a new 401-410 release)

New minipack 401-410 is now available via the osu!torrents page!
torrent file links will be coming back soon, and the new tracker is performing wonderfully ^^

Will seed for a while. The 500/500 should help people out (i think)

yaaay another big chunky seeder

Made some links in case of new torrent site gets deleted too
001-100
101-200
201-300
301-400

Normally links shouldn't be deleted and should never expire.

After i finish downloading all these, i'll seed them pretty much forever (or as forever as the machine downloading them is at least)

just bumped up my seedbox from dual core, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB hard disk and 8 TB quota to triple core, 3 GB RAM, 300 GB hard disk and 12 TB quota

have fun leeching

From MegaPack 301-400

These seem to be corrupted, but no big deal, can download them manually on the site.
Anyways, there seems to be duplicates. Not real, just different maps with the same name. Which was a pain in the ass, because I realized that AFTER I extracted the whole pack of 20gb. Luckily I have an i5 so things go real fast for me. So my advice to anyone who wants absolutely every map from the packs, is to while extracting manually rename duplicates so you can have all the maps.

Thanks for this. Have a nice day!

Ok, how stupid of me. I haven't even realized that WinRar has the option to extract each pack to unique folder. Might be a pain to move all the maps afterwards to osu! songs folder, but sure is easier rather than renaming all the individual copies. Again another tip.

im waiting for the 410-420 beatmap pack

Beatmap torrent 411-420 is now available!

For anyone interested, here are the stats from the 'official' seedbox:


Some quick calcs work that out at 7TB of data!


Those are some pretty big numbers..

oh damn i didn't expect it to be that fast..
thanks! xD
