Looking at their DNS record: $ host dvdisaster.net dvdisaster.net mail is handled by 10 mail.dvdisaster.net. So their DNS domain currently doesn't have any A or AAAA records and thus no web server can be found. As the project is hosted on sourceforge.net, you may want to update the download server to https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdisaster/files/dvdisaster/0.79.1/ If contacted the project maintainer on their Sourceforge.net account about their dvdisaster.net domain, but I would recommend to change the ebuild to use the sourceforge.net URL.
on the other hand, the sourceforge.net server doesn't have the 0.79.5 release. Maybe we can use the debian mirror for downloading temporarily? https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/dvdisaster
The developer told me that the website dvdisaster.net is no longer available and he has no plans to publish any more software. So we'll have to source this software from a different web site.
Created attachment 555470 [details, diff] download dvdisaster source code from debian mirrors use the debian mirror servers to download the dvdisaster source code, as the project's web page is no longer available.
Upstream looks dead to me. Did the project move? https://repology.org/project/dvdisaster/versions A mirror should not be the primary source for a dead project. If the license allows it, and there is no suitable fork, fork it and also take care of the bugs.
I could keep a mirror of the source, however I wouldn't want to invest the work to fix the code itself. (DVDs are really out of fashion since a while...) If we keep this in the tree I would suggest to remove 0.72.4 which would at the same time make https://bugs.gentoo.org/520994 obsolete... License is GPL-3+ , so shouldn't be an issue to fork, but again, I'm not really in a position to maintain the code base...
