What do you know,
After trying to activate Aimersoft's ripper for 30 mins and getting a "can't connect to GAOTD, try later" I finally got it to connect. I had to reboot the computer, which in itself is weird, but it worked. I noticed that the GAOTD pages take a long time to open. The traffic here is not increasing a lot. Pagerank gives it a 6/10 and Alexa gives it a 3,069. Check Statsaholic.com and look at the number of hits in the last month. It is kind of stable.
I installed the DVD Ripper and it seems fine. I am guessing that it is working well because when it was an unregistered version it would let you know right away. Other than that, I can't find any way to check if the program is really registered.
Another weird thing that is happening today is that after every comment in the GAOTD I see a message that says
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in /home/newadmin2/data/www/newbeta2.freedownloadscenter.com/wp-content/plugins/ck-karma/ck-karma.php on line 48
This message appears only on the GAOTD comments, not in the GGOTD or in the forums.
Anybody has seen this?
Anyway, I'm going to test the ripper now and be sure that Ill test it again tomorrow.
