ehhhh...
Even though scarywater won't list the seeders they are there!
I list over 1200 seeders in DN09.
And this thread is NOT the place to ask these things, they should be handled in the Leeching forum.
In response to Draconis:
I have no problem watching the show like normal, and then analyze after. I concentrate when watching to get every aspect, pick up moods and shiftings etc. then I usually only think it through while writing a reply here....

Have you tried to connect to them anyway?
If you do you will find that they do indeed work.
Scarrywater has been broken for a long time now and fails to report the status of the torrents. but it still works.

Can someone tell me what happened to Ryuk's voice? It is the same dubber for sure but he changed the way he speaks. Anybody noticed it too?

If L's goal is to use an obviously false name to show that he knows of Kira's limitation, he could have accomplished the same thing by using a famous name from fictional literature. Using a fake name is a prudent precaution given what L suspects about Kira, however, using the name of a real person whose face is well known puts that person at risk. L might assume that Kira would go through the thought process Light does, which is that he cannot use this name to kill on the off chance he pictures the real Ryuga Hideki, but there remains a real possibility that Kira wouldn't care about that and just kill him anyway. Perhaps L must use the name of a real person in order to confer that extra level of protection, but if that is so, surely there must be some Japanese equivalent of Kevin Federline that could be used instead in this situation.

My thoughts about this were that possibly L intends on making contact with the people from the two families he most suspects. If he were to do this, he could give each individual a different false name. If only Light believes that this person's name is Ryuga Hideki, and he tries to kill him but ends up killing the real Ryuga Hideki, that would show L immediately that Light is Kira. Of course, if that were the case, he would be playing with and showing disregard for other people's lives, which shows that L isn't always the most moral person either.

Someone was mentioning this on IRC, although he thought it was a different person dubbing Ryuk. I personally noticed a slight difference, but didn't pay much attention to it. Also, through the beginning of the episode, I basically attributed it to Ryuk's withdrawal.

An empty chip bag and one with a TV in it do not fall the same way. When Light dumped his wastebasket, his mother could have noticed something amiss and being a good mother might have checked to make sure Light wasn't accidentally throwing away something important. Taking it one step further, what if L had dressed up one of his minions as the garbage collector? I think Light must have realized the risk on some level since he makes sure to watch the trash bags get compacted. Factoring in the considerable cost, I'll be surprised if we see this method again anytime soon.
The question I've been working on lately is whether Ryuk wants Light to succeed. The chances of the Death Note falling into the hands of someone more calculating (and thus entertaining for Ryuk) is remote, so should Light ever be captured it would mean the end of Ryuk's fun. However, I can't shake the feeling that Ryuk only appears to be in Light's corner. Like a NASCAR fan who's in it for the crashes, the reason Ryuk is hanging around and observing so closely may be to see an eventual defeat. We saw previously when Naomi gave Light a false name, Ryuk did nothing to assist, though his amusement inadvertently provided a clue. Was Ryuk really unable to say anything? Even though he technically is not supposed to interfere, Ryuk later does in fact assist Light when he locates all the security cameras. Superficially, this is so he can continue eating apples, but I believe the real reason for confirming that there is nowhere to hide from the cameras is to create a challenge for Light. The key factor linking these two incidences is that Ryuk's actions (or inaction) make things harder for Light and force him to think of some devious solution to his situation. I think Ryuk's role in the story is too passive to directly lead Light to ruin, but I wouldn't rule out Ryuk failing to help out at a key moment in the future if it meant being entertained.

I agree with this point and I think this is important. Ryuk didn't exactly ASSIST Light, but he did do enough to provide an answer. Why didn't Ryuk say anything to Light if nobody else can see him? Ryuk assisted Light with the security cameras, but why didn't he provide a clear answer to the Naomi incident?
With all said and done, I think Ryuk is just toying with Light. The main reason I believe Ryuk is with Light is to persuade him into giving him half of his life span, in exchange for a pair of eyes of a death god. I think Ryuk knows that if Light does this deal, it will come back to haunt him in the future. What happens if Light makes the eye deal and all of the pages of the death note are finished? What use do the eyes have then? It's going to be good to watch the later episodes and find out what Ryuk's true motive is.
Oh, I just joined and I didn't get to mention anything earlier in this thread haha. I just want to say that Light is my favourite character in the series. I just like how he is confident and intelligent.
Finally, can anybody update me on the whole Viz situation? It appears that they are definately going to license Death Note since they have licensed the manga. Does anybody know when they are going to license it. I am just afraid because once it's licensed, Live-Evil will stop fan-subbing it and we are going to hear messed up voices in the translated version.
