Depthstrike Entertainment Tracker Network Infrastructure
The Depthstrike Entertainment Tracker network consists of 5 trackers (As of April 19, 2006).
These trackers are hosted on separate upstream providers to provide maximum coverage.
Because of the separated infrastructure, it is possible for up to four of the five trackers to be offline at a time and still act as if the tracker is online.
If your client claims "Tracker Down" you are most likely using a banned version of Shareaza.
The Depthstrike Entertainment Homepage has an at-a-glance summary of tracker status. Unless all the trackers list as "Offline/Overloaded" do NOT complain about the tracker being down. If even ONE of them says "Online" that means the tracker is UP.
When an uptime monitor for a tracker shows "site under monitoring" its uptime since uptime has begun tracking is less than 90%. This usually only occurs on new trackers or in the early stages of tracker uptime monitoring.
The tracker network hub can be offline and not affect download operations. Don't assume that just because the network hub is down that the tracker network is down.
