Detective Academy Q By Live-Evil
« on: April 28, 2009, 07:57:48 PM »
http://www.live-evil.org/

After 5 years, 9 months, and 5 days, Live-Evil has finished subbing this seires. Currently on box we have a mixed torrent of Shinsen-subs and Live-Evil. Can someone offer a torrent to replace the current one? I am suggesting this so that the torrent will be only made of one group and it will also include the DVD bonus subbed by Live-Evil.

On Box: http://www.boxtorrents.com/torrent/129847/Detective_Academy_Q_45_eps.html
Ep 45 + Bounus: http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/45bonus.torrent
Ep 1-26 Batch: http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/%5BIDE%26L-E%5DDetective_Academy_Q_Eps_1_-_26_%5BBATCH%5D.torrent
Ep 27-45 + Bonus Batch: http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/Detective%20Academy%20Q%2027-45%20%5Bend%5D%20%20DVD%20bonus.torrent

I could offer this, but not for several days I think (national holiday coming here), so I'm sure someone will offer it before that. ;)
Only miss these last two files.

Quote
Eps 1 - 9 - Subbed by Live-EviL & Hikari No Tamashii

Eps 10 - 12 - Subbed solely by Live-EviL

Eps 13 - 34 - Subbed by Live-EviL & Ideology

Eps 34 - 45 (+bonus ep) - Subbed solely by Live-EviL

Edit: I realise new offers get more attention than torrent swaps, but shouldn't we give the uploader of the current offer (JimKi) the chance to update his torrent with these eps? His description can then be cleaned up also.

I know that is a option but i agree with what Zalis said in the Maria-sama post( which included uploading a new torrent with the specials ) that a new torrent will have a fresh pool of seeders and will stay alive for a longer period of time.

The torrent currently up on Bxt has the first 34 episodes from L-E. Although the uploader did change the original file names it seems to make the episodes more "sortable". I'll upload it tomorrow, that is, if the original uploader doesn't do it before then.

Edit:
 ::) I made a big oops....

I was home early tonight (after having a few drinks everybody went home early, so I went also) and decided to offer the torrent now; I blame the "oranjebitter". And of course the original uploader became active at the same time as me and swapped his torrent. He did no work on his description though. Lesson for the future I guess. Oh well, perhaps he would like the template code....

Aw, sorry about that. But I've seen your offer last night and the template were good, too bad it cant be accepted since the original uploader already swapped L-E's releases...too bad, there are no seeders... T__T;

Yeah, that's something that often happens when you swap a torrent. It usually takes a while before people notice it happened and then this will correct itself. But I hope that the uploader starts seeding soon, since he renamed the files nobody else can seed the new files, well, not before they change the name of the original files to his standard.

I really would have appreciated if the mods would have accepted your offer 'cause now it'll take me more than 1 week to download the episodes considering the number of seeders.

What i don't understand is that how was the swap allowed? The uploader changed the file names. I though renaming the files was always discouraged. I still urge macros74 to re-offer the new torrent so that a fresh pool of seeders would be there to seed the torrent.

macros74: If you don't want to offer it, send me the template and torrent. I'll upload it. I don't mind my offer getting rejected. I'll write my arguments after i/you offer it.

Well, I deleted the offer myself after a few hours, so don't go pointing at the mods for that.
The template still needed tweaking (title image mainly and I still needed to add and make screenshots) and at that point I didn't see the need to continue (the new files were my main reason), it was no fear of rejection to be sure.
The name change is very subtle, done to make the episodes line up in the correct numerical order. For example: "Detective Academy Q - 13 [3B873A3F] [IDE&L-E]" versus the official L-E batch name "[IDE&L-E]Detective_Academy_Q _13[3B873A3F]", you get the point.

Even though you did delete the torrent, its upto the mods to allow the deletion. No, i am not putting the blame on them.

My reasons for putting up a new torrent are:

1) Fresh pool pf seeders
2) New description
Main reason 3) Usually swaps are only done for 1 or 2 episodes, not 11 episodes. The original pool of seeders will need some time to notice the swap and download the (11) new episodes.
4) File name change is still a change. I find it very annoying when i have to change file names to seed a torrent. And its not allowed on box ( even though the mods did allow it ).

that would be really nice, i've taken another look on the only available Detective school Q in Bxt, it seems its been seeded, ^^..

in any case, why dont you email the old uploader and ask him/her to change the template, description and add screenshots.. or even ask for macros74 to give him/her the template if its okay with macros74 too.. ^^ just a suggestion

Its upto macros if he wants to re offer the torrent or not. I'll honor the decision he makes.

I've sent the uploader a PM, offering my template (with all the missing info that should be in a description, sans screenshots) and with an enquiry as to his renaming of the files. I see the torrent now has 6 seeders and no leechers, so that's reasonable I think, we'll see...

Thanks. I had just renamed my files to your batch torrent standards (so I could seed them also) and at the moment don't feel like changing them back again to be honest. But I probably will do it anyway.... ;)

And since you don't seem to mind the renaming, who are we to "complain" about it, not?

Well, I can't answer for the rest of the group, but as long as the anime reach the people, I'm happy...

The original uploader did not respond to my torrent comment or my PM (offering my template to him in order to bring his description up to current requirements), so eventually I ended up adopting this torrent. I've swapped it to match the L-E filenames they used in their 2 official batch torrents. Old seeders will have to change their file names if they want to continue seeding. For now I'll keep this torrent running 24/7. I will be curious to see when the first leecher will turn up.

And now it's also time for me to finish watching the series, still some episodes to go...  ;)
