Is expired domain name software useless because of the icann rule?

[daabomb2002]

the icann rules says there is a 45 day or something grace period if a user forgets to re-register the domain name. so does the expired software finders find domain names past this grace period or before?

 

[champ_rock]

they were never really of great use. i have not found a single software which accurately tells when the domain is actually dropping

u have to do that calculation manually only

after the 45 days the domain goes into a redemption grace period of 30 days.
After that it takes another 5 days till the domain is ready to drop.

Take a look at http://www.registercompass.com to find gold expiring gold nuggets.

the expiration date is alittle fuzzy so I always backorder at pool/snapname/clubdrop atleat a week ahead of time

What feature did you miss or what didn't work in the software you tested?
