"Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers, was forced to go offline again because the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) threatened their ISP."
Highlights:
“The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.”
“Site is down, tracker is up. Expect the site to return, unless we hear otherwise from Deimos.”

yep, gone. good thing i got my 4gb file from them last nite. they were the only one that had what i was looking for. ;)
edit: update: demonoid admin already working on getting servs back up. not sure how long this will take though. gotta find new server hosting service. :(
I hope it will return to work fast, One of the best torrent trackers
for rare files...
Yep it's a very complete tracker even for rare files, you could find them on there,
so sad but they were more public than private for me, how many people had an account there, Plenty i guess...
Big target, I'm sure it's on their hit list.
They're out there. Watching :mellow:
For some reason I laughed after reading this. :lol:Quote:

Demonoid should have gone private instead public. It's getting too much attention from CRIA & etc.
Still a shame as it had those rare files I look for , but even with a proxy I could n't log on last week so fuck em .
demonoid is my fav tracker i want to see it up soon and hoping that this time they will use company outside the reach of CRIA
wouldn't Romania be a good choice? or perhaps a Chinese server.
It really doesn't matter where they host. People/organizations with obscene sums of money tend to get what they want, and demonoid seems to be exhausting it's pool of available hosts. This can only go on for so long.
Demand rules; some countries will always allow you to host your website........
Yeah because private trackers like OiNk get no attention at all.Quote:

its really bad news
Does the recent announcement from the Canadian Police mean they can fire up the servers?
man i hope will return fast!! it was a good tracker..

as i mentioned if servers will be in russia noone will be able to touch them no matter what. russians dont care about threats, they are just ignoring.
Is the Demonoid tracker(i know the site is dead) still workin' coz i heard it is and .torrent files being hosted
on some others servers ?
I was still able to keep some of my torrents alive up until they reached their goal of uploading until Wednesday of last week. So I believe the trackers for some are still up.Quote:

so bad
I have a gut feeling it has set sail and will never return.
if i where them , ill leave the domian for CRIA
and got a new one like demonoid.org ( if free for sign up ) and host in into
server in Russia , Sweden , China .....etc
because they will lose so much if they never return back
at least they can release their database to one of the most private trackers . as well as they can save it and make it growth :)
thanks nice post
They still have a forum to keep the community united , hope they will fully come back soon :(
really sad :-(
i too think soQuote:

Really Sad, come back please....One of my Fav's..especially for that Left Field Download...some movie you haven't thought of in years etc
This is the biggest loss for me since torrentit, and of course, Oink.
Eh... I can manage torrenting without demonoid. I'm just using my private trackers more often, lol.
demonoid was a source for files not on private trackers. It was the site where you could find almost anything regardless of age or obscurity. It wasn't fast, but when you needed something by god you could get it (eventually).Quote:

Any scuttlebutt on the subject, BTW?
I've got two torrents hanging...:whistling
Miss the rarity the site had. I could find anything on that site. Demonoid will be missed.
