Therefore many ppl buy the blank media from either Germany or the UK, none of the countries have copyright fess implemented the blank media.

That is not exactly true.
In fact in Germany, since mid 2001, there is a flat "copyright" fee of 6 Euros for every cd/dvd burner imported/sold . In addition each cdr/rw and dvdr/rw blank media is charged with 7,2 Euro cent per 1 hour playtime for CDs and 8,7 Euro cent per 1 hour playtime for DVDs. And it seems those greedy people over at GEMA (Germanys version of RIAA) still want more.

Anyways. Back to the topic
Glad to hear from Ruroshin that some issues seem to be resolved and the return of d-addicts is not that unlikely.

Ahh, thanks for the info. I didn't know here to find out what happened to D-Addicts ;_;

Hey Prince, are you planning on bringing v-drama back? I saw the page is being updated. Nice avatar btw

Thanks for the hardwork ruroshin! looking forward to new site!

I will use v.D's server for #Jdrama now, no point in having too much groups scattered, I will just join it.

2 new releases is in process (actually, it's 'done') waiting for someone to QC as I won't bother sitting there watching :p

Please stay on topic, any other question about it should go to my PMs. Thank you.

Well d-addicts is on a dedicated server now and is just waiting for the domain name to move.

However, its likely that I will be moving the site to a different dedicated server. So its going to be delayed a bit longer but better to do it now rather than when the site is all settled in. It'll also give me more time to work on the distributed code.

The URL will be the same correct? Or are you going to just set up a redirect?

The domain name or url (d-addicts.com) will be the same however at some point I will be changing the tracker's announce url so either you will have to redownload any .torrent files you're using or we'll scrap all existing one and make a fresh start. It all depends if I can mass convert all the existing .torrent files to use the new tracker announce url.

haha ok, I didn't have too much stuff that I was downloading when the site went down anyways so it didn't hurt me much.

Oh yea, a little off topic ruroshin but who is that girl in your avatar? She's cute!

avatar girl is Takahashi Ai of Morning Musume. You should check out the Hello! Project thread for more pictures of her.

and to stay on topic: good luck with everything, i am anxiously waiting the return of d-addicts.

Well, it looks like the d-addicts.com domain is successfully propagating. When I go to http://www.d-addicts.com, I'm now getting the canned d-addicts.com place holder. So it's just a matter of time...

groink, currently i'm able to post at the forum and seed some things (so far i've only tried torrents on the first tracker) do you know if we'll be able to keep these torrents going after everythings up to speed?

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 get that placeholder as well, but if you follow this link: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/torrents.php you'll be able to access the forums and torrents.
