10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Denoise and AA. This show uses dynamic grain for artistic effect, so I chose a denoiser that throws up its hands and quits at the first sign of heavy noise. Hence the large filesizes. I don't think you can use something like SMDegrain because (1) scenes that are intentionally noisy should stay noisy and (2) the static grain in this show probably messes with the motion estimation.
Speaking of the static grain, it looks terrible in certain moving shots. It's the same way in the source. That's life.
This release has a fairly caveman approach to anti-aliasing (do a pure downscale-rescale with insaneAA, `insaneAA.insaneAA(video, descale_height=900, descale_strength=0)`). I once joked about how the best way to anti-alias is to downscale, but I guess it's not a joke anymore.
