Well on the other hand, if you ping "http://inferno.demonoid.com" instead of plain inferno.demonoid.com, it doesn't loopback:

Just when I thought this thread had gone crazy, it takes yet another twist into the ridiculous. If Microsoft™ Ping™ really did do that, then I'm glad I don't use it :)http:// is the application level protocol, and defaults to TCP, port 80.

 

Ping does not use TCP protocol or indeed any ports at all, it uses ICMP protocol instead. It should not be possible so solicit a ping from an address starting in http://. All I can assume is that microsoft ping tries to be ntelligent and just strips the http:// and resolves the demonoid ip address via DNS.

 

What I can't explain is why "ping inferno.demonoid.com" would return 127.0.0.1 and "ping http://inferno.demonoid.com" would return a real address.In case anyne is interested...:

Is it possible that those who get 127.0.0.1 are running tracker blacklisting plugins on their machine?

 

That would make sense since blacklists might treat the demonoid tracker as compromised while it is down to stop people conecting to who-knows-what server.Those seeing the "real" ip address might not be running blacklist plugin. Is that a possible explanation?

ComplexMind is an admin? With 20 posts? I guess he is a friend of Sabr.

Maybe, but there are people at Fubra who don't have accounts here. When the server started acting weird a couple of weeks ago, he made an account and Admin'd himself.

Nice ... but deimos says : “Money is an issue, but the real problem at the moment is finding a suitable place to host the website. There has been no luck there. And there’s some personal stuff I need to take care of that takes most of my time at the moment, and that does not help,"

 

i hope that demonoid backs.

FYI, the "Fubra" admins you see in here will be:

 

brenmcl - Fubra's MD

PaulMUK - Fubra's Operations Director

Complexmind - Thats me, I'm the guy on call 24x7x365 fixing your servers when they break.

 

Hope this helps clear up who I am :) I don't normally post on normal threads...

I don't know how you can ping http://inferno.demonoid.com as it on my computer replies

 

Ping request could not find host http://inferno.demonoid.com. Please check the n
ame and try again.

 

anyway it is not hard to update the entry in DNS to point to the loopback address. and reasons for doing it would be to avoid hammering on the real ip address.
