We're Back!

We're back, although a bit later than anticipated, but with several changes and improvements! First off, the most obvious: our very own @ xzin has rewritten the three CSS themes for Nebulance to be responsive and have a more wide-screen format, the same as on our sister site, Anthelion. This also comes with a new mobile UI, which should greatly improve using the site from a mobile device. In addition to this, we have made several security-related updates and some performance-related upgrades to both our backend as well as Gazelle. Once the dust settles, we have a few more new features that are still in testing to deploy.

In time, we will also be switching off support for non-SSL access to our IRC server, so please ensure you are using a modern client when connecting. Just about all current clients can support an SSL server, so this should not be an issue for hardly any users. There will be another announcement when that change is made live.

The most notable change currently is the deprecation of the non-SSL tracker entirely and an updated announce URL format. Users that are still seeding on the old format, in either SSL or non-SSL with ports, should see an error message in their client informing them to update to the new format as per this announcement.

Given that we have deprecated the non-SSL tracker entirely, users that still were using it will have their profiles updated automatically to use the SSL tracker on their next login, which if you are reading this, you have done.

New torrents downloaded from NBL or from its API via *arrs will have the new announce URL format embedded automatically. However, any users that upload with an automation tool may need to have that tool updated to make use of the new announce URL. NBL staff recommends that users contact the author of that program directly to have that done.

Finally, users will need to update their existing announce URLs in their clients manually to continue seeding, effective immediately. You can find your personal announce URL by going to https://nebulance.io/upload.php. The new format is...

Just another note, since the site has not been publicly accessible for just over two weeks, our upload bots will be running in series to find missed content, likely starting with Season Packs due to programming restrictions, then moving on to Episodes. Users can upload whatever they like of course, and the bots will cross-seed when they get to that content if a user has uploaded it, but please ensure nothing is renamed and that everything hashes properly, or the bots will end up dupe/trumping your uploads. It will likely be another few days while we back-fill the majority of our missing content.

Please bear with us as we make final tweaks and improvements while the dust settles.
