Hey there!
If you can read this, your ISP has updated it's DNS information and you are reaching jpopsuki again, yay!

So yeah, we are semi back I guess, took long enough but... it's complicated.
The new "setup" is kinda shitty and pretty slow (like, srsly slow - expect to see RED AGAIN) but it's what we got for now and it certainly is no "final solution".

But yes, this current setup should give us a bit of protection from DDoS attacks - at least that is the plan, we'll see how that works out.
Either way, the tracker is useable again so make the best of it.

Beside that, the jpopsuki.tv site will stay down indefinitely but I hope to have it moved somewhere else in early June - bandwidth requirements are just too much to handle with this wonky setup right here. But be assured, it's not gone forever!

Plans for the future?
I intend on buying a fully dedicated server (in parts), set that thing up and send it for colocated hosting to a provider that is specialised in DDoS secured hosting. Renting a server is not an option since most providers demand an arm and a leg for a decent server with DDoS protection. Also the often mentioned cloudflare would be $200 a month for their plan with DDoS protection and I'm not even entirely sure if they would cover stuff running on different ports like the tracker...
So yes, buying a decent server and sending it so a hoster is the plan for the future. When we'll have the money for that is not clear and depends partially on donations since I'm running on empty already after recent traffic bills and all this trouble here in the past days/week. So if you can chip in a few € and donate, that certainly would be appreciated and speed things up.

Edit regarding donations:
If you are having trouble donating using the PayPal button, getting an error after it has been sent or anything like that - do NOT donate a second time since the first donation most likely already went through fine. Contact me (MellowB) and see if everything did go fine, only then donate again. Also please do not request a refund from PayPal if you donated twice by accident - just write me again and I'll refund you the money asap. Thank you!

Known Issues:
The displayed amount of seeded torrents in your profile, on the front page and in maybe other places will be off/way too low. This has to do with the way things are setup right now and there is not much I can do about that, at least I don't know what. This is a temporary thing and will be fixed when we move to a different server or ditch the current setup.
Either way, JFYI. (yes, it will harm your bonus points accumulation most likely, sorry about that. )

If you got any more questions or what not, please, don't hesitate!
