Can we still use Demondoid's Tracker?

I'm downloading from mininova and see this in the torrent properties:

Tracker:

Code:

---

http://inferno.demonoid.com:3399/announce

---

Does this mean that even though demonoid no longer exists, we can still use seeded torrents on the demonoid tracker?

I though the tracker's purpose was to connect the seeders with the leechers, and if their server is down(no longer exists), how can we still use their .torrent file?

A little confused here, guess I need to read a bit more about bittorrents. :ermm:

ive downloaded a few torrents from demonoid after it was shut down.

The question is how long after?

around 3 days ago.

yeah noticed it too :(

Maybie you are downloading a torrent from a public site, that containts the announce from demonoid but it doesn't works, only works the others... or maybie works, simple like that :geptard:

well, i've tried some torrents from demonoid caught at public trackers and haven't succeeded at all. maybe u are lukcy cuz u catch some peers by using DHT and peer exchange. but i have all that turned off on my utorrent cuz private trackers forbid its use.

I also think you are downloading from a public Tracker.

the reason is the DHT :P

to me the tracker doesn work =/
to many torrents with the inferno tracker dont work
