For those that experienced speed issues, can you let me know if it’s alright now? I think the datacenter’s upgrade has also been completed.

Um, better late than never, so Merry Christmas 2012 and Akemashite Omedetou (Happy New Year) 2013, everyone! XD

I mentioned briefly about the speed issues in the chatbox.
Our datacenter is upgrading their lines, which will probably take 2-3 weeks.
So us Asian and US region that are affected, let’s wait it out, and it should be back to normal soon.

That’s all for the status report. =)
Any donations would greatly help with the hdd upgrade cost too.
Thank you all for the support!

Update: The server upgrade should be done in 1-3 days, so all the animes shall be back up then. =) Mou chotto matte kudasai! XD

Side rant:
I hope MyAnimeList fixes their cookie problem soon.
I can’t login at all, and can’t update my list.
All this happening is really messing up my anime watching routine. XD

I’ve found a little bug in my codes that caused missing files in the archive. If you refrained from downloading any anime because of missing episodes, take a peek again and check if its still there. I never knew this problem existed until Heroic Age and yes, Heroic Age is complete now.

PS: More updates in the donors section and more to come soon!
and a new little cosmetic change. You can now see if the server is downloading your favourite latest episode. Lets you know that its on the way.

I will then do my best to update it as early as possible. You should use this to report broken links in the archive too.

Thought I should change the poll too. Its been a while!

ps: Take a look at the new animes in the donors section. Check it out.

Well I hope this improves the experience as a donor in boontan.net

We’ll be rapidly increasing the size of the archive over the next few days! stay tuned!

Do you notice any speed increase in the site? Faster loading time?

Regards,
Boon.

if you find any other bugs please let me know so that I can iron it out.

OH MY!!! I cant get the download script to work HOLD ON PEOPLE!

Just a quick question, am I the only one having trouble watching the last week hadena releases (Kuroko’s Basketball 01, Sankarea 02,  Zetman 02…)?

Seem to me they had an encoding problem, as I only have problems with their releases, and the problems can be repeated (so it’s not a buffering error on my side, nor a codec problem I think, and I don’t have the brandwith to redownload an episode if they’re not good…).

Note that it’s not a troll against Hadena-Subs who are doing their job to their best (we should thank them every week like every other team we’re hosting here ), I simply try to check where the mistake comes from.

Regards

I have negotiated a new plan with the host We will be getting some new hardware and extra 2tb of space for now. We will be able to add another 4-6tb on it depending on the configuration! I had to exchange some 20+ emails with the sales division to negotiate a new plan.

We should be seeing some speed upgrades especially on the website. There should be any changes on the download speed though.

Update: the upgrade will start on tuesday/wednesday 17th april.

Since I have raised the minimum to $10 recently, I figured it would be fair to give a weeks notice before raising the donor’s minimum again to $20. Over the past month, I’ve analysed boontan.net and its possible growth but everything requires $$. The expected cost of a new/faster server would be $3000-4000 usd(depending on the price of the hdd) at that time. The excess donations received every month will go into the pool for the new server.

I have plans to roll out some new features/changes over the next 6 months.

Firstly, We are going to expand our archives from 4000GB to 15000GB with possible quality options on new Releases!

Secondly, We should start our own streaming service by October.

Thirdly, a whole new anime page and faster updates! no more drop downs but individual pages(or maybe dropdowns but data will load on click)! I havent decided! Combined anime/donors list for donors! no more hassle with A-G H-M BullS*^t! and more!

Lastly, Comments/Reviews/Broken Links features for each anime!

My proposed price plan to fund such a project is $4 usd(paypal takes nearly 50cents) a month or $20 for 6 months and $38 for life. This will still be the cheapest available plan compared to any other anime website in the world! Early donors would not be asked to donate again!

ps. If you do not have Dropbox, please click this link: http://db.tt/kF6lxHly ! Trust me it’s a solution to a problem that you do not know u have.

Comment your opinions here!

Boon.

There are quite abit of changes:

I have added frontpage updates but obviously you have to login to download! It required a couple of Eureka moments and some planning to implement.
Clicking on the title of an anime in the frontpage brings you directly to the anime page!

The anime page can now be seen even without logging in! Well, this is for prospective members.

There was an issue with the theme for the past year or so, that has been fixed too. The girl on my right >_> will be seen on every page! ^_^

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Donors, I am working on a new feature. Look out for it!

Do you like the New style of the anime page?  put it in the poll.

Secondly, the guy who just donated $15 please send me an email attaching your transaction.

Comment here if thought boontan.net was down for the last 10 days.

I have finally confirmed that the auto update script for the donors section works. Jcoth is the first to use it. XD

edit: I need some comments on the frontpage. Please take some time to tell me what you think or feel about it.
