Blue Dawn
Karagarga is now running on a brand new, ultra-fast server with approximately 10 times more processing power and 4 times more memory than the previous server. This should translate to smoother browsing, reduced response times and overall performance increase of the tracker. Most likely we'll be tweaking the settings for a few weeks to squeeze every ounce of power out of the server, but you shouldn't expect more than a few minutes of downtime at a time. The database move has already been done.
If your fellow KG users have a hard time reaching our new server, let them know to flush their DNS cache (our IP has changed) and delete the KG cookie. Any further problems, consult the KG Forums. Also remember to restart your bittorrent client. Some clients have their own DNS cache.

Leechfest Imminent
Now that we've settled into our new server, it's time to announce our first freeleech period in 3 years. That's right All torrents will be considered free to leech starting from Monday 9th to Sunday 15th of May for all enabled users including those on probation. During this week no download will be counted, only upload matters. Also uploading new torrents will be completely turned off including request fills. We will introduce a countdown clock and timer soon to keep you informed.
And there's a catch, or a carrot if you will, too. We have recorded a total number of peers on KG at a certain point of time. If we have doubled that amount at the end of the week-long leechfest, we will give you another week of festivities within the next two months. So keep on seeding those torrents after you've grabbed them. We will announce the number of peers to aim for before the 9th.
The basic idea of this leechfest is two-fold. Firstly, we want to stress-test our new tracker and see where its limits are at. Perhaps we need to do a tweak or two here and there. Secondly, we want to reward everyone involved for making KG such a success it has been throughout the years. We wouldn't be anything without our loyal users. Soon it's time to empty your bookmarks.2011-05-04
Leechfest Target Set
The magic number is 350000. Nice and round number.
If we have that many total peers on Monday 16th of May, when the European staffers have woken up some hours after the freeleech period has ended, we will guarantee another leechfest within the next two months. This means that we're aiming to double our peer amount within a week. It's doable but tough. You can follow our progress from the statistics part of the front page. It's "Peers" under "Peer Statistics". Those numbers are updated once a day.
In case of any questions about or troubles during the leechfest, consult the forums, ask for help on IRC or contact Daeron directly.
