If you use the DRT software, for now I would NOT upgrade to the new 2.1.0 version that was released today. I am have nothing but problems with the newest version.
Basically, what the software is scanning, is NOT matching what I selected in the tool. In return, it’s as slow as a turtle and not returning what I want.
I really love the tool, but it appears there are some bugs with this release (at least for me). I know how to use the tool, so it’s not something I did or didn’t do in the settings etc. I have sent in the bug, so I will report on what is replied back to me when I get it.
Now I really wish I had an old version so I could use it…
Update:
The biggest problem that I am having is: I do not have anything to do with Altavista checked, nor do I have the "Advertisers" section selected. When I run my scan, it’s checking Altavista TP which is drastically slowing down the scan.
Second problem, I do not have the Deep Whois selected and it’s doing a deep whois check. I do have the normal whois selected.
I was able to speed up the search a little by lowering the number of times DRT allows a check (Altavista). So I lowered that number down from 20 to 3. This helped with speed and still allowed for my normal whois feature to work. It’s still not right but I am able to get it to work a little bit better, but these issues need to be fixed. No more replies from Luc since I heard from him this morning.



Thanks for the update… I’m one of those that run the updates asap.
Beside the bugs… what’s new in this version? Will we be able to edit the whois servers’ list? Working with some ccTLD is pain in the neck…
Has it improved the way it recognize keywords? Sometimes, he pick nonsense keywords even for english domains.
