This death is shameful. I suppose no one is hosting nor about to host the replacement that would offer the same API? If not, the only thing that we can do is to remove Wad Archive from Wadseeker.

Wad-Archive removed from Wadseeker:'https://bitbucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/commits/0b95da1b0ba095dfa7584944a0222e41ef564530 [^]'

There's now a case of doomshack.org that has the following comment in wadseeker.cpp:


const QString Wadseeker::defaultSites[] =
{
    // 2017-12-08 - doomshack.org removed at request of owner. Prefers clients to go through wad-archive.


Perhaps we could restore this now? I need to contact the webmasters over there.

Beta package for Windows available at the beta auto-update channel and at:'https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/doomseeker/doomseeker-1.3.3~beta-230105-1140_windows.zip [^]'

Please test. There should be no trace left of Wad Archive and Wadseeker should no longer try to contact it.
