Step by step
- Test the album page and one file from it. Open the bunkr.sk album address and then a single media address from your record. Those two answers are frequently different, and the file answer is the one that matters for distribution.
- Record the server response rather than the rendering. An emptied bunkr.sk album and a removed one can look alike in a browser. The response the server returns is what separates them, which is why a check stores the status rather than a screenshot.
- Check whether the referring thread still links to it. A dead bunkr.sk album linked from a live thread usually means a replacement link is already posted there. The thread is the fastest indicator that the set moved rather than went.
- Re-test days later. One check catches a removal that held and misses one that was reversed. A file host removal that lasts a few days and then reverses is the outcome worth catching, and only a second check finds it.
- Tie the outcome to the notice and round. Record which notice and which round the result belongs to. That is the only way to learn whether the host rung or the network rung produced the removal on bunkr.sk.
Why a delivered notice is not a removal on bunkr.sk
openDMCA stores what happened to each dispatch — delivered, failed, queued for a web form, or skipped because a throttle applied — and none of those states means the file is gone. Removal is verified separately, because inferring it from a successful send is how a report ends up describing effort rather than results.
That separation is what makes the routing data usable. A bunkr.sk notice that was delivered and changed nothing is a measurement; without it, the system would keep treating the fallback mailbox as though it worked.
One published limitation: the resurrection figure is computed from a URL's current status, so a file that returned and was removed again counts as removed. The measure under-reports, and openDMCA says so rather than rounding it up.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open test whether the URL is really gone and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on bunkr.sk
On bunkr.sk the album page and its media files return different states often enough that checking only one of them produces a wrong answer in both directions: a live album with dead files reads as a failure when the set is actually gone, and a dead album with live files reads as a success while the material is still downloading for anyone with the direct address.
