Autocreqing is the preferred way to creq files. Not all metadata for files can be creqed this way, though. See How to get started with creqing#Files for more information.

This article expains how to set up Avdump for autocreqing. If you need further assistance, please visit us at irc://irc.synirc.net/anidb.

Note You have to set a API password in your profile before autocreqing with avdump.
Note If you use a firewall you will have to open a port for avdump first. You can force avdump to use a fixed port with the option -port
Note It is possible to run more than one instance of avdump at once, but not more than ten will work OK. At the moment only 10 sessions per ip are allowed by the server, meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first. Also, if you suffer under NAT, running more than one instance will make it worse.
