How did people find that out????? Cool!
Looking at the torrents... It appears that at least for http://www.d-addicts.com/bt/tracker.php/announce, that tracker is up and running.

Looks like it resolves to 207.36.232.16 if you want to fake it.
1) The announce URL stays exactly the same. No worries!
I just tried seeding a show, and it worked with no changes, so option 1 may be indeed be the case.
2) The announce URL changes, but Ruroshin can change the URL in the torrents.
It is easy to change the announce url in the torrent with the script btreannounce.py that comes with the official bt client. (or you could use an editor as long as you change the length field :) )
Anyways, it all looks pretty much back to normal from where I'm sitting. Yippee! :applaud:

I can't connect to d-addicts right now (the DNS on the Navy network may not be propagated just yet), so I can't say for sure what will happen. The state of the torrents all lie in whether or not the announce URL will be EXACTLY as what's embedded in them. So three things could happen:
1) The announce URL stays exactly the same. No worries!
2) The announce URL changes, but Ruroshin can change the URL in the torrents.
3) The announce URL changes, and Ruroshin can't change the URL in the existing torrents. So an upload of fresh new torrents with the correct announce URL would be necessary.
Which of the three will prevail? Hard to say from my end. I'll have to wait awhile before I go home and access d-addicts from my Road Runner connection.

I'll be going for number 2! But haven't gotten to that stage yet. Currently working on the upload code and the torrent stat retrieval code. Stats like seeds/leechers/completed will no longer will be realtime but updated every 10-15 minutes. Speed stat will probably go because not all trackers support that.
