View Full Version : Demonoid Confusion

I am fairly new to the torrent world and am a little confused about private trackers. Every forum I visit claims that "so and so tracker is hard to get into." Among them is Demonoid. I've heard mixed messages about Demonoid. One is that its very hard to get into similar to bitme and only by invites. However, maybe its my luck, I got an account on Desmonoid today. From what I read, Demonoid is a semi-private tracker.

Can someone clear this up for me? I want to learn more about this and have searched everywhere.

Thank you in advance.

Demonoid is one of the easiest trackers to get on. They give invite codes like candy and open registrations semi-regularly.

Demonoid is a semi-private tracker with huge diverse content.If you are in a country where downloading pirated stuff is pain in the ass then stay away from it.
IPTorrents is a private tracker,also with a huge amount of content.Its better if you join there.(Its safer than demonoid)
If you want specialised trackers then you need to ask/search for them yourself.

FYI
1.Hard to get into does not mean the tracker is better w.r.t content/speeds etc.It just means it is hard to get into,nothing more,nothing less.
2.Trading/Cheating is a big no-no in private BT.Dont do it and 50% is already O.K
3.Seed your files to a ratio of 1:1 or till whatever the tracker says you to need to seed and dont hit and run.The rest 50% is covered as well.
4.When you have joined several trackers and you need to get a positive ratio in trackers where you want to download then use a Cheap seedbox and buffer every tracker for one month and for the rest of your life you wont have ratio problems.(kinda douchebag advice but this is how many survive)

Technically it's "semi-private" because you can also post .torrents from other trackers on their site (labeled as "external" torrents).

You can download their torrents without an account also.

Demonoid is indeed semi-private . As has been pointed out, non-members have access to the torrents (with restrictions, i think), plus they include external public torrents in their index . The forums are Private , which makes it worthwhile joining .

Will you be happy with your Demonoid account ? ..... that depends on what you want from torrenting/file sharing .

Ratio is absolutely meaningless there, not to mention they use an IP system to keep track of it, which isn't very accurate at times. Unless you care about that icon next to your nickname or what people may think of you for having a low ratio, don't give the matter further thought.

There is alot of mis-information in this thread.

Semi-Private = the forums are private (registered members only), the Demonoid tracked torrents are private, the 'external' torrents are public.
Ratio is not meaningless, but it is not enforced... it's mostly a 'ego-thing'.
They do not track by IP address... they track by 'member number'.

For example - White.Collar.S02E04.By.the.Book.HDTV.XviD.FQM.269XXXX.6834.torrent

269XXXX.6834 is a member number... edit that number out of the torrent name, and it becomes a 'public' (non-ratio) torrent.

Anyone who tells you differently, is mis-informed.

I just downloaded a Demonoid-tracker torrent as a guest. :unsure:

That's what I meant with "meaningless".

This is wrong. I suggest you change your IP and try to download a Demonoid torrent without being logged in to the site with your new address. You'll see your stats don't update.


For example - White.Collar.S02E04.By.the.Book.HDTV.XviD.FQM.269XXXX.6834.torrent

How would they know you've changed the number? The filename isn't passed to the tracker, and the info_hash remains the same.

Demonoid allows a limited number of 'free' downloads by 'guests'. If you look at the torrent name, it won't have a 'member-number'.

If you say so... my response was more accurate.

Again, I refer you to the 'member-number'. Proof... the torrent you downloaded as a 'guest', and the same torrent being available on Pirate Bay, etc. The 'external copies' won't have the 'member-number' in the filename.

Yes, that's right.

I fail to see how this number is passed to the tracker. I downloaded the same .torrent while logged in to my account, and they're exactly the same (checked the MD5).

The member number you mention is merely appended to the filename when you download .torrents while logged in and isn't used to identify you when you leech or seed. Even if it was, it's easily changeable like you mentioned.

Your failure to understand is your problem, the facts I stated remain.

08-06-2010, 11:37 PM
Wwwildthing, I'm sorry but you're talking out your ass here. You cannot edit the filename of a .torrent file and expect any sort of change. I could rename my torrent to "thisfilesuckscocks.torrent" and the torrent will work, regardless. The name is irrelevant. Editing a filename has nothing to do with whether a torrent is public or private, nor does it have any effect on the ratio reported to the tracker. Even external torrents will generally have the demonoid tracker in their tracker list, which will cause stats to be reported to the tracker regardless of whether the peers you're connected to were obtained from demonoid's tracker or openbittorrent's tracker.

The "member number" is just a generated number, it's irrelevant. Your ratio is tracked based on your IP, since demonoid doesn't use passkeys. It's mostly irrelevant though since the demonoid staff team doesn't give two craps about your ratio.

By the way, your "member number" that you describe is not your member number. You can view your userid by checking your torrent list from your profile, it's a completely different number.

AND I just checked and an external torrent also had that number appended.

Threads on here start of addressing what you originally asked, then they take a complete tangent as other people jump in and start to converse with each other. It's not a slight on you, just look at any other threads :lol:

Also, don't worry if you don't understand some stuff... you'll notice some members knowledge is greater than others, and their 'base level' if higher than a lot can understand, again it happens :) If you're really lucky, you'll get some idiot pretending to be an expert only to be shot down in flames... those are the good threads :)

I downloaded the same torrent 3 times... once while logged-in, once as a 'guest' (same IP address on both) and finally while using TOR... the only difference between the 3 files, was the 'member-name'.

This is why it also works when you download the same torrent from The Pirate bay (verified by MD5 check).

When you download or seed a torrent using the Demonoid tracker using the IP address that is currently associated with your account, they will track the stats for that torrent. If you log into the site with one IP, then download the torrent with a different IP (for example: using a seedbox) then the stats will not be recorded on your account.

Edit: If you don't believe me, then go have a look at the numerous posts in the Ratio Help subforum of the Demonoid forums.

I'd recommend starting with this one: http://fora.demonoid.com/index.php?topic=107626.0

It may not bother you, but you still seem to be under the impression that Demonoid stats are tracked by member number, and not IP addresses, and you're wrong about that. You don't seem to want to believe anything anyone here is telling you, so that's why I suggest you take the issue up with the Demonoid staff, and you can get your answer straight from the horses mouth.

Demonoid torrents will work no matter where you download them from. You're connecting to the Demonoid tracker, it doesn't care where you found the .torrent file.

Edit: This is from that link I posted earlier. I really recommend you read it...



I haven't downloaded anything from Demonoid in a while, but my ratio keeps changing. Should I assume my account was hacked, and if so how can it be checked/proved?

It could be a case of dynamic IP's at work. The one Demonoid had stored next to your account was probably assigned to someone else who was a member of Demonoid and their stats got added to yours.

Or you inadvertently downloaded and seeded a Demonoid tracked torrent from another site, unaware that the stats would be sent to the Demonoid tracker. This seems to be the reason it happens mostly, people downloading Demonoid tracked torrents from other torrent index sites.

Or lastly, you share a network with others (room-mates/family) and they might have done like above or downloaded directly from Demonoid using their own account.
In which case, Demonoid only sees the one external IP, so it's luck of the draw who gets the stats.

My ratio isn't updating correctly, how can I fix it ?

To ensure your RATIO is properly recorded, two conditions must be met.

1) The Demonoid Tracker MUST have your PRESENT IP Address, associated with your Demonoid Account.

To associate the current IP with your account



Log out of your Demonoid account
Clear your browser's cache & cookies
Log in to Demonoid


To check that Demonoid has your current IP, look in your profile. The Last visit: should display a few seconds ago, like so~

http://graphicshost.net/images/ui6w0fn3c40t5lb.png

2) Once the Demonoid Tracker has your PRESENT IP Address, you must send the "event=stopped" message, for each torrent tracked by Demonoid.

To send the event=stopped message from your torrent client



After you've associated your IP with your account on Demonoid, DO NOT EXIT your torrent client.
First you have to press STOP on each of the torrents in your torrent client that are using the Demonoid tracker.
This sends the "event=stopped" message to the tracker with your ratio stats for that particular torrent (since you last stopped the torrent).
Wait a short time, then you can restart the torrents if you want to continue seeding or exit the torrent client if you have finished.


Hopefully your ratio should be updated within 24 HOURS.


If those two conditions were met, then your stats would update. If they weren't, they won't. Also note that Demonoid only updates stats once per day.

I don't think my ratio has been properly tracked there in at least a year, and I don't do any member number crap. It's just a poor system without passkeys, especially in the age of dynamic IPs. Altering a torrent filename doesn't do jack shit, try it with any torrent, rename it something completely irrelevant and it'll work fine.

Regarding how they get your IP address to check stats, it's THROUGH THE TRACKER.

Anyway until you come up with something relevant, I suggest you cease spreading your misinformation and leave the advice to people who understand how a .torrent file works.

Correct. Ratio is meaningless at Demonoid. Mostly because they use the wildly inaccurate method of tracking ratio by IP address, rather than using passkeys. (or member numbers. lol)

Fact - Demonoid torrents have the 'private' flag set to 'off'.

Some don't. That's why you can find "DHT patch" mods for different uTorrent versions on TPB. Demonoid's tracker has had its fair share of downtime in the past, and someone had the idea of removing uT's private flag check, so that he'd be able to finish his downloads, because many (although not all) of the Demonoid torrents he was trying to download had the flag set to 1, due to an uploader's mistake.


Fact - Demonoid torrents do not use passkeys.

True.


Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are logged in) will have a 'member-number' in the filename.

Wrong. That isn't a member number, it's just a number. My Demonoid UID begins with 443, while the number in torrent files begins with 632.


Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are a 'guest') will not.

True, they won't have that number.


Fact - Demonoid torrents downloaded from other index sites (i.e - The Pirate Bay) will not count towards your ratio at Demonoid (even tho it is tracked by Demonoid).

They will if you've logged in to Demonoid with the same IP at the time, regardless of where you get the .torrent file from.

I am only rehashing this cause in the last week i have downloaded some Thomas and Friends episodes for my son. They were internal torrents that only listed Demonoid as the announce tracker...

http://inferno.demonoid.me:3414/announce

Seeded them back to about a 3:1 ratio and my stats have never changed. I was logged in (my username avatar and stats are in upper left hand corner) and everything was downloaded to my computer...No box involved. The torrents are 2-3 days old now.

I bring this up as there was something else I got a few months back under similar circumstances that I seeded 10+ GB back and stats never changed.

I wonder if they have simply stopped updating stats? Has any regular users had their stats change as of late?

No, I am not terribly concerned about this. Yes, I am simply making conversation. Besides, I kinda enjoyed this thread when it was going back when ;)

Tricks in demonoid:

Before dwnlaoding a torrent from demonoid, stop all active demonoid torrents in your torrent client, log out from demonoid account, then again log in, start seeding-leeching torrents, download new torrent(s) from demonoid, and start leeching/seeding it. Remember demonoid updates their site once in a day, between GMT 9.30AM-9.45AM... So, remember to stop all your active torrents at least once just before that....

Source: one of the demonoid mod (7-8 months ago).
Dunno how their system work now.

It's happened to me numerous times. Sit there and see a bunch, but then nothing changes or you DL and then take a huge hit without the accompanied seed ratio adjustment. I just think that's how their site is.

Did you stop the torrent(s) in your client? The tracker only updates stats when it receives an "event=stopped" message.

I dn't think they care to much about ratio.. Amst a ratio free site. So you can do/leech/seed whatever you want.

Thing is. Demonoid is the greatest tracker in the world, but no ones want to admit it. So Demonoid is the slut of the world, right? Not really. It's an awesome tracker loved by everyone, hated by the elitist, and loved by everyone again. I love it, and always have. And so should you.
