    The tracker has closed already

    All of us admins and mods knew nothing about haku's decision
    It's a shock to us as well.

    Give us time to think about an alternative

    I for one will continue to upload the Stardust related stuff, probably on one-click hosters for the time being

    Is anyone here active on usenet?

    The biggest blow is that all the past uploads are gone. Matt, if you wish to share the MCZ stuff you have backed up on a different tracker (rutracker comes to mind, it's very reliable, and unlikely to get shut down anytime soon), and need any help, don't hesitate to ask. I can seed (permanently), I can help create torrents, organize content, etc.

    Rutracker is not bad variant. It has survived after several attempts of closings

    But other thing that whole Runet is long time under thread to be separated from the rest of internet by global national Firewall like in China

    That's some bad news. H!O was the best place to find music from the less know acts and also for TV Shows. Let's hope that means JPS will be more active and we will keep getting stuff.

    Oh man.

    I can understand deleting all the official releases they had over there, like BR and album/single rips and such. But isnt TV shows a gray area?


    Of course no one wants to end in jail, so i guess we'll have to respect haku's desicion

    That's really sad news. I managed to register at jpopsuki now. Is Momoclo-chan usually uploaded on there? I couldn't find super many episodes when (briefly) searching for it.

    Not lately. no


    As for TV shows that isn't a grey area at all. These are copyright protected as well.
    That's why they often disappear very quickly from streaming sites

    I see. I had this wrong idea.

    I mean, there is not such thing as a "Hashimoto Kanna TV appareances compilation Blu-Ray" (which i'd buy on a heartbeat) that her management would consider a torrent made of it be harmful to her official releases but i forgot all about the actual TV broadcasters.... i guess in the end, intelectual propiety is not a concept to be argued with, even if there is no monetary profit being made from the uploader

    Actually several TV shows do sell DVDs and BRs
    And shows get re-runs or get syndicated. Or sold to other countries
    A lot of people make money from that

    Btw right now it looks as most uploads will be migrated to nyaa

    The Hello!-Online tracker has been functioning for all previously uploaded torrents for the past five hours.

    Random Question (even though I seem to have some knowledge of it, but I want to fully understand it):

    Whats MCZ's relationship with the 2 baseball players: Yuki Yanagita and Masahiro Tanaka (who they wrote a song for)?

    Looks like we're going to get a few days grace period, to get whatever we can off the hello-online tracker. Speaking of which, if you're interested in bulk downloading MCZ related stuff, here's a list of 467 torrents. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzWhKaQ5gIT_OGh1UFdESlVHeUE&usp=sharing

    This is just torrents that matched the filter "momoiro" from the folder my torrents are stored in (which I'm lazy enough to have never emptied out). Basically, everything MCZ related that I've downloaded in the past year.

    It's by no means a complete list (and some of the torrents may have become inactive), but it's as close as you will get to a complete list without going through the whole "Others" section of the tracker and downloading torrents one at a time. And I'm seeding most of them on a good connection, so you should be able to download most of them before the tracker closes for good.

    P.S. Some of the files are quite large. If you download everything, it might be as much as a terrabyte. So I suggest adding everything to the torrent client, sorting them all by size, and then going through the 30-40 largest ones, and deleting the ones you don't need.

    Also, there are two notable categories that are missing: images and audio. So if you want those as well, you'll have to go asearchin'. There might also be some DVDs missing (stuff that I have physical copies of). But the DVDs are available on other sites too, so I wouldn't worry about it. The stuff that's gonna get lost when hello-online closes is all the TV and webshows/clips, not the big releases.

    Thank you so much for this! I found a ton of old TV appearances and episodes of Momoclo-chan on there that I'll download. As you said, some of them might be dead torrents by now, but if anyone is able to seed some old torrents, now is the time :)
