That's odd. How come AOM supports different hash-methods? (I know this may not be asked here) And shouldn't the md5sum be unique, too? I mean uniqueness IS the reason for using hash... Well I guess we can handle everything through ed2k though. [[User:Ainawing|Ainawing]] 15:49, 9 July 2007 (GMT+1)

: Well, the hashes are likely to be unique. However, this is not enforced by AniDB. Whether two distinct files really have the same hash or whether it is just an input error (i.e. wrong c&p) of the submitting user, the result is the same. You're trying to do a lookup for which you expect exactly one result or nothing at all and you end up with multiple results. And yes, most clients do support other hashing methods and also submit such data to anidb. However, internally they are all based on ed2k hashes AFAIK. [[User:Exp|Exp]] 08:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
