Hentai@Home

Why is my new client doing nothing?

This is normal for clients with little-to-no cache. Leave it running for a few days to fill.

How can I improve my client's performance?

Allot more upload speed. If it is nearing 100% cache utilization allot more disk space.

Do I have to run the client 24/7?

It is beneficial to have it run for as long as possible. Clients that are frequently offline are given less priority.

How do I receive static ranges?

Any properly running client will be assigned them over time.

Is H@H traffic encrypted?

No.

Can I prevent certain content from being received/served by my client?

No.

Privacy / Security

Can the galleries use SSL / HTTPS?

Technically no. While this is possible for the servers ~99% of images are served by the H@H cluster by default.

Can I use Tor or a proxy to view the galleries?

Yes but be mindful that some IP addresses have been abused in the past and thus are banned.

Is my IP recorded when I view a gallery?

For gallery stat purposes it is stored very briefly on the server's RAM.

"If you don't actively mark a gallery in any way, the site forgets that you even visited within three minutes or so" - Tenboro, Sept. 2015

Is my IP recorded when I submit anything?

Yes, any publicly visible content (galleries, torrents, bounties, comments, forum posts, etc.) will record the IP used to submit it at the time of submission.

Is there anything that would get me reported to any authorities?

Only posting child pornography can result in this.

Do the H@H clients that serve images to me remember what I've viewed?

Yes but this is largely temporary and requires the client to have logging enabled. It is possible to have images not be served by the H@H cluster using your My Settings page.

Does the system track my searching history?

No.
