Demonoid BitTorrent Tracker Could Go Dark For Days

Written by enigmax on September 01, 2009 

Demonoid remains one the most popular BitTorrent sites on the Internet, despite a fairly colorful and turbulent past. Sadly its thousands of users could soon find themselves without their favorite site, as technical difficulties are set to cause possibly extended downtime.

demonoidDemonoid is one of the biggest torrent sites around. Now fairly peacefully hosted to the west of Russia in Ukraine, the site has previously received unwanted attention from both music and movie companies. So when the site goes offline a lot of people start to think of the worst, especially if there is little or no warning.

During the next few days, maybe hours, Demonoid may go down due to some serious-sounding technical issues. They have already caused some damage to the site so the operators want to limit further damage.

“We are experiencing power outages that have caused some ram and hard drive issues. We might have to shut down everything to fix and prevent further damage,” they say in a statement.

The downtime could be extended, “…days maybe, until we can change the power circuit,” they add.

Several Demonoid users already report connection issues, but the site is still accessible to most people at the time of writing. The blackout won’t mean much to millions of Russian and Ukrainian BitTorrent users though, since they are already blocked from the site.

Over the years Demonoid has had its fair share of downtime. In June 2007 Demonoid was pressured to leave their host in the Netherlands, mainly because of legal threats from the Dutch anti-piracy outfit, BREIN. The site then relocated to Canada, but after threats from the CRIA, it decided to shut down there as well.

In 2008 the site eventually reappeared in full glory after being offline for six months. This time the downtime shouldn’t last that long. Any Demonoid users stuck for ideas on alternatives if the site goes down, can check here. If you’re looking for high speed downloads you could also consider to try Usenet instead (our Usenet guide).

So long as people are warned. Thx, TF.

Damn, Demonoid is my favourite… hope they spring back quick and stronger than ever before.

3 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:43 by Amused

that’s not good – they have plenty of cool torrents there…

4 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:44 by RzmmDX

As long as it comes back. And doesn’t disappear for months again.

5 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:47 by I don't care

Because I’m not a member there. Screw private trackers. Public trackers FTW.

Demonoid is oveeeer soon! I hope not

7 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:49 by Anonymous

Today in Brazil the old blank page is back

8 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:50 by RIP

I love demonoid too. Hope they figure it out. TPB may bear the load of the widely popular torrents, but when it comes to rare and hard to find stuff there is none other like demonoid.

9 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:54 by San

Yes entire site went down! I confirm this!

10 Sep 02, 2009 at 03:58 by Josh, US

FFsss i’m used to it, demonoid goes up and down faster than a .50 cent ho….

13 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:10 by klitoratii

i was wondering wot was up with demonoid this morning, hope they’re back up to 100% soon!

14 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:15 by zarathustra

Still up in the UK as of 23:10 GMT.

@#8 ‘RIP’: Totally agree!

@#5 ‘I don’t care’: Free clue for ya, pal – Demonoid isn’t a private tracker. What a complete numpty.

15 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:17 by Gordon

I don’t care

Because I’m not a member there. Screw private trackers. Public trackers FTW.

Demonoid is hardly private, asshat. You only have to be a member to upload. Browsing and downloading is public.

16 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:29 by yodiewonderdog

i can confirm i have problems 12pm nortern european time with demonoid and the rest of the afternoon but at the present time i can get on to the site ok trackers working ok and demonoid forum is working ok fingers crossed hope it goes ok and not too much down time

17 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:30 by Stephen

Gordon, maybe you should go to demonoid, log out and then try to browse the torrents. It will give you a login prompt with no way to get to the torrents.

18 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:34 by @Gordon

“Demonoid is hardly private, asshat. You only have to be a member to upload. Browsing and downloading is public.”

You can’t browse and download unless you’re a member.

DEMONOID SUCKS , GET A REAL PRIVATE TRACKER N00BS

20 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:37 by jack

DEMONOID ROCKS, BEST PRIVATE TRACKER EVER

YES, I’M BIPOLAR

22 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:38 by Hmmm

@zarathustra no.14:

If you can’t browse and download torrents and the site is completely useless unless you’re a member, then it ain’t public pal.

23 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:40 by yodiewonderdog

most of the other private trackers just have current stuff not much oldier stuff as well that,s what makes demonoid good to use

24 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:43 by MissedMemories

mmm.. Time to get a back up of it? Just try to get all .torrent files, a tracker you can rely on, and at least one source able to seed. From there, you can start a comunity over again :D

I hope no other torrent comunity goes down… Meh. ******* goverment. They don’t see they can’t take us :D

25 Sep 02, 2009 at 04:47 by Mel

Thanks for the heads up.

Demonoid invites are all over the place so stop complaining. Get off your lazy a$$ and spend the few minutes to find one.

Here there is the blank page too. But the tracker is OK.

Who said its blocked in Ukraine? I use it just fine.

30 Sep 02, 2009 at 05:00 by anon

good, i hope they stay down for good

31 Sep 02, 2009 at 05:07 by zarathustra

@#22 ‘Hmmm’,

It ain’t private, either. Demonoid is generally referred to as ‘semi-private’. AFAICR, unregistered visitors to the site can snag the latest seven days’ offerings, but are prompted to register _completely-free-of-charge_ to see the older stuff. (Things could have changed since I last looked tho’ – if so, then meh…)

P.S. If registration is currently closed (as is often the case these days), then there’s a simple answer: invites are everywhere. Ask me nicely (e.g.) – I’ve stacks…

:P

32 Sep 02, 2009 at 05:20 by Hmmm

It’s not a good idea for me to register in Demnoid. I have a max 20kb/sec upload LOL and I’ll probably get sacked because I don’t always achieve good ratios on the torrents I download. Thanks for the info zara :D

It should remain Private and not except anymore Ungreatfull pricks.They should close the door keep who the have so far.

35 Sep 02, 2009 at 05:46 by .neo.styles|nvDX

as long as its just technical difficulties.. love demonoid!

36 Sep 02, 2009 at 05:59 by Counsel for the MPAA

It was running a little clunky today. I was getting a lot of “internal server errors”. They should just take it down completely for a few days and fix what has to be fixed. No problem as long as we all know what’s happening.

37 Sep 02, 2009 at 06:10 by time traveling white rabbit

demonoid is a great site, i use it all the time. lots of cool,rare,unreleased torrents on the site that ive never seen before, not on ”private” or ”public” sites or even the pirate bay. if demonoid ceased to exist my life would still go on though as there are plenty of alternatives like the pirate bay…:)

38 Sep 02, 2009 at 06:33 by me

I’ve tried to register for a long time (many months) with them, but regs are always closed, and closed, and closed… Too bad, cause they (used to?) have excellent torrents, and I have excellent stuff to upload if only they weren’t so selective.

And no, I’m not into giving an e-mail address and beg for an invite from some random member. I’ll wait till I get an open registration form on their site, thank you very much.

Still, despite hard feelings, I hope the guys at demonoid will sort their problems out and continue operating smoothly. Every tracker is needed nowadays.

i own a classic car, and a classic motorbike

demonoid is a classic. give respect dudes

if the admin is having issues then *pray* demonoid will continue

“It’s not a good idea for me to register in Demnoid. I have a max 20kb/sec upload LOL and I’ll probably get sacked because I don’t always achieve good ratios on the torrents I download.”

Demonoid is practically a public tracker anyway so nobody really cares if you upload or not, but for the good of the community please do :)

Are we able to post invite codes here?

42 Sep 02, 2009 at 07:25 by AnthraxAngel

Is someone here nice enough to send me a Demonoid, or other nice tracker invite. So sick of public ones.
I’m asking very nicely;)

thanks for the heads up, to much surprises lately…

it may be a good idea at this point to make a complete backup of the demonoid torrents – like the community did successfully for tpb’s db

just in case

I would do it but have no idea how

46 Sep 02, 2009 at 07:35 by me

As long as they are fixing problems, this should be a huge problem. Demonoid have struggled through more than alot of other trackers, props to them.

47 Sep 02, 2009 at 07:45 by Cujo

Demonoid is unique

admins and users ,, respect

48 Sep 02, 2009 at 07:46 by Sad

I’m a member of 8 or so Private Trackers and with that said, I LOVE Demonoid. More times than not, I’ll always go to the Demon to get some Great Files. The private sites are so Ratio ridiculous, it’s not even funny, and Demonoid is always there to save the day. Good Luck Demon and hurry back soon.

49 Sep 02, 2009 at 09:12 by zarathustra

BTW, put your addresses in the message body. ‘Member, it’s just a throwaway – I get no return info…

yeah, most of my trackers for demonoid already stopped seeding. oh well, guess i have to wait it out :(

51 Sep 02, 2009 at 10:42 by lverona

I see this BREIN is very successful at what they do. I guess they are making lots and lots of money.

52 Sep 02, 2009 at 10:44 by Xcel

I get the login page but then blanks after that…Hopefully they’ll get it together here soon..

I used to be Demonoid all the way, but when they dropped out for 6 months I got real familiar and used to the Pirate Bay, nnow im Pirate Bay ALL THE F’n WAY!

#15 – That is the way it used to be, I remember, but they have changed it since they re-appeared

No worries people anyone can be mistaken without getting flammed for it…cant they?

53 Sep 02, 2009 at 10:55 by Moderator from Demonoid

Few things: Demonoid.com

#1 Semi-private Tracker Site in the world. – Period. Thats still around way after a take down.. Hmm where is TPB gonna look now???…

#2 invites that are around other sites, are well know & we track them. Also the User & the invited user GETS BAN! + there IP.

#3 You can no-longer download torrents for free which was only 3 per week, per IP. Sign UP is always a MUST!

#4 Demonoid’s Torrents are always the BEST of the BEST! out there, the Free-Torrent Sites for the most part have some good & MOST Junk! torrents. Its a FACT!.

And Last the Haters here are the ones who got BAN, could never get in & gave up, & now crying…which is always funny….hahaha… TPB
have fun with that.

56 Sep 02, 2009 at 11:57 by Xcel

Demonoid RoKz,
The Pirate Bay RoKz..

Deal with it…

TPB gets taken down and they are back up within hours, not 6 months down the road…

Personally, I prefer a site that has “staying Power”..

Ya know what?
Thier STILL up!

I have never been banned from Demonoid, I have been and still am a member for 2 years, I didnt sign up on an invite, I did iton a friday when they had open sign up..

Step back cowboy, your talkin outta yer ass and its going to get your feelings hurt, LoL

57 Sep 02, 2009 at 12:06 by Anonymous

lol @ #53.

I get better speeds off pubbies than demonoid and never once downloaded a “junk” torrent. Biased much?

58 Sep 02, 2009 at 12:10 by hungay

well, I uploaded a good (awarded)comedy rip two hours ago and still no peers are connected to me. Meaning there is a connection crash. To all those who blame Demonoid just because they are not members, why do you ignore the large amount of demonoid torrents uploaded to Pirate bay, mininova etc.? ignorant twats.

I find here some noobs saying ‘ i don’t care…demonoid sucks…get a real real pvt tracker ‘ blah blah..

Just one word for the novices here..Just shut the Fcuk Up !!!

Just because u don’t have a member ship and cannot browse their torrents does not mean that u will talk cr*p in the forum…grow up noobs !!!

Any serious p2p user knows the sheer quality of uploads and dedicated community in demonoid which unmatched compared any other pvt sites ( which sucks in terms of variety and numbers ! )…Demonoid simply rocks and those old users of bt would know its significance and contributions !!!

As for the article..as long as its downtime and not a blackout by the asst*rds of MAFIAA its Ok for us users…downtime is common to all sites…here’s hoping it comes back stronger than ever !!!

69 Sep 02, 2009 at 16:06 by SirZ

Tracker now open fine in russia.

Can I suggest those in the middle of a Demonoid tracked download add

Anyone having white page issues should reload.

More often than not the page will load after a few tries.

The site is not down, but certain aspects of it are difficult to use.

I uploaded a torrent yesterday and although seeding overnight was poor, it’s picked up now.

No need to worry, this will be a temporary hardware issue and everything will be back to normal soon.

Hopefully there are plenty of Demonoid members that donate, so that hardware can be replaced easily.

ya u guys, send in that donation that u keep putting off ;)

85 Sep 02, 2009 at 19:59 by GimmeGimmeGimme

Yeah Demonoid is the best!

I never upload or seed anything – I turn that sh!t off and on Demonoid I can get away with it!!! They don’t care!! You can leech 24/7 and they just don’t care.

My ratio is shit but who cares, they let you get away with it on Demonoid.

Dunno why they sh!t on their uploaders like that but they do and heavily.

I can access Demonoid on and off here in the UK.

Also, Demonoid is far from the best private tracker. Although it is brilliant, there are better ones. RevolutionTT FTW, it doesn’t have a great deal of torrents compared to some trackers, but it has 0day and scene releases, and torrents are always well seeded =D

@p2pfreak: I do have an account. I’ve had one since 2004.

96 Sep 02, 2009 at 23:05 by New Demonoid User

To everyone wanting an invite: Its very unlikely anyone will give you one on here. I got mine by hanging around and indirectly asking for one.

I basically said something along the lines of “I was looking around the site to see how it is, but couldn’t view the entire thing because I don’t have an invite.”

A couple minutes later I had a PM from a guy giving me an invite. So I’m not in. They don’t allow asking for them, so you must be sneaky with it and ask indirectly.

Here is the link for instructions connecting to their chat: http://www.demonoid.com/chat.php

You can either do like I did, or make friends with someone there and after a few days ask for an invite.

Good luck

97 Sep 02, 2009 at 23:06 by New Demonoid User

Edit on prior post:

“So I’m not in.”

should have been:

“So I’m now in.”

If anyone has any spare invitations to Demonoid, even one that got wrinkled or you spilled lime pickle on it or something, I would be delighted to receive it at mangonocturna@gmail.com

I don’t have a fast connection, so if they are strict about things, I might be kicked out, but I promise to seed steadily if slowly…

Thanks so much to anyone who might be kind enough to graciously invite me. :D

Keep your demonoid torrents open while the repairs are going on….most have dht enabled….so they keep going when tracker is down anyways….and when it comes back up…they will reconnect anyways…!

111 Sep 03, 2009 at 06:43 by angrybear

#108: “Visit the site a lot and stay up until 2 AM like I did to EARN your code…”

Glad it worked for you. I’ve tried all kinds of time zones as well for months and months… but no luck so far.

It seems they are not accepting new members anymore at all via their web site. If demonoid has indeed morphed into a pure invite-only site, that’s it: I’ll stop trying. I only wished they would be honest about it.

Every months first friday the registrations open up…And stays open for the next 48 hours…

126 Sep 04, 2009 at 01:36 by me

@J2x4: good to know they still accept invites. Tnx for clarifying.

What do you think: are the chances good that they will also open regs for a few hours once in a month as they did in the past? That’s what I’m interested in — not in invites. I’d check in the forums and chat, but, well, those are not visible from the outside either…

If they still sporadically accept self-registering members, I’ll continue checking with them, hoping for the best.

127 Sep 04, 2009 at 02:29 by Vinay

I used tracker checker to register into many private trackers…ita a real nice s/w…just keep it runnin n it will tell u when the site opens up for registration

128 Sep 04, 2009 at 04:51 by sanity

It’s been up and down for me. The site loads, but upon torrent search I just get a blank page 9 out of 10 times.
Once last night I could search for about 10 minutes, but today I can’t get any search results.

Sigh…..
Still the best, with the most trusted users…etc
So, a lil down time is not a big thing.
I AM sure with so many running from PB, Demonoid will be one of the sites overwhelmed with new users since the PB forums are infested with invitation code trading.

Have a great Labor Day (2 those who have it) All!!

Demonoid fourm not working

131 Sep 04, 2009 at 10:27 by Xcel

Demonoid is working fine here, loads fast- all search functions working..

So I suppose it will be just a short matter of time before it’s entirely re-established everywhere…

132 Sep 04, 2009 at 12:46 by Anonymous

Still down in India ….seems like they are working on something… hope they get up alright soon!!! people without invites stop crying…demonoid has some of the best things and rarest things to dwnload. DEMONOID Is the best and getting or being THE BEST is not easy. Like some suggested: stay awake on Friday(s) u will get reg… and btw leechers you people suck everywhere….Then also tracker is working fine. We will wait LONG LIVE DEMONOID

133 Sep 04, 2009 at 13:46 by eyes only

No problem in China,including website and tracker.

134 Sep 04, 2009 at 15:11 by Demonoid is OK but...

I’m a member for 2 years. I uploaded 2 TB of torrents there. You get 5 warnings before they kick you out. I very rarely see someone with more then 1 warning. I got lots of spammers, very rude and non-sense comments etc. and after complaining (reporting) the comment never ever happened anything to that user, he got no warning, nothing. Well, I got fed up with uploading there ( I uploaded over 100 movies). Demonoid is unserious, careless and superficial. I found instead other private sites where the leechers are seeding like hell, nobody dares to be rude and won’t lie about your torrent ’cause there the admins will immediately kick your arse. One of my recently found tracker is
http://lasttorrents.org/signup.php

(most peers here are Romanians and they got superfast internet speed. And they all seed like mad! On Demonoid you’ll never be able to dl so fast as from this tracker.)…
and has thousands of free torrents which won’t count your download, just your upload, to help the new members maintain a good ratio.
If you’re still keen to become a demonoid member try signing up between the last day of the month 0:00 o’clock and 0:30 first day of the (next) month. So you got about a half an hour, later then that registrations will most likely be closed.

135 Sep 04, 2009 at 15:14 by Demonoid is OK but...

I forgot to mention:
0:00-0:30 AM Swedish time.

139 Sep 05, 2009 at 03:11 by Anand

It has some difficulty to access in india but anyone can use free proxy sites to access Demonoid…….

140 Sep 05, 2009 at 05:29 by Zaphod

I love demonoid!

But I think they should put their index behind registration totally, and spread registration by invite only. That invite with a traceable web of trust to see which user stupidly gave an invite to a person who tried logged from a known RIAA, MPAA, or IFPI address, or a subcontractor of theirs.

Then they could snip the inviter off, and their untrustable down-line. Plus, they could warn all the downloaders of any torrent the untrustable downloaded themselves (This torrent is now compromised. Please if you are the original seed, recompile the torrent and change the length of a text file, re-hash a new .torrent file, and delete this one.)

Of course, the tracking of these webs of trust, including log-on data should be kept on a truecrypt volume, well hashed and hidden, and backed up offsite on another volume.

Just an opinion.

hi
my problem is different it all started in 09/01/09 i can not log gin and tried Password Retrieval it did not recognise my email I sent email to demonoid admni they did not respond my ratio was 1:86gb i am sure my account is pruned because i just donated 10 days ago no warning ratio is excellent any ideas

Too bad for a large server to go down due to bad hard disk or bad power supply.
The server appears to work now (at least ping) but it says “Internal Server Error” when connecting.
But Demonoid’s tracker tracker seems to be online.
I hope they solve the site issues too as I had to refresh some pages 5 times before they loaded up.

147 Sep 06, 2009 at 07:51 by Anonymous

Man… the tracker died… I can’t download, nor upload

148 Sep 06, 2009 at 12:57 by WUT

SORRY @SS SITE CANT EVEN KEEP MY RATIO UPDATED SO NOW I ALSO RAPE THE SH!T OUT OF THEM
NOT MY FAULT….I USED TO SEED BACK BUT NEVER WAS RECORDED SO FU(K THAT

/CRUISE CONTROL

149 Sep 06, 2009 at 13:54 by altecmayank

The sites down for past 5 days now, back here in mumbai,india…. the same dumb – scary – paled white page..

150 Sep 06, 2009 at 16:16 by Phoenix

tracker seems to work but the website is down. so i wonder will the stats will work.. :( if it is not working it is useless to seed.

151 Sep 06, 2009 at 16:32 by Really You Lames are Too Funny

I’ve been to a couple of private sites, that think its so fucking great to be extra exclusive as if Im gonna waste my time trying to get in (unless its a niche market like wrestlingbay) but nah generally shit is already available elsewhere and thru various and better channels and protocols so most private sites are assed out except for the really big ones like KVCD (which isnt really private private)

Now demonoid is only semi-private and I gota say its by far my new fav site, it has all the interesting links frontpage like on Mininova. Alot of times it has exclusive torrents that I havent found anywhere else, (but not always sometimes the opposite)….a benign request area, a suitable helpful forum. If a torrent is dead you can request a reseed (altho this is providing that it hasnt been removed after 30 days of deadness)…Most users at least seed something and alot have ratio issues or seedboxes hence why Demonoid isnt so big on the ratio tracking… but to all the losers out there that talk about hit and runs pssh..what the fuckever there are hit and runs everywhere. Plus its better than being in private tracker where they track ratio too strictly and everyone is tyrying to seedback to an oversaturated torrent which ends up that too many of the power players are delivering too much upload there by quenching any of the other users who eventually get fucked in the ass cuz they cant meet ratio deadlines…fuckin noobs…quit hating on Demo and get an account bitches.

152 Sep 06, 2009 at 21:38 by Burhan

I had an invitation code before but it said code already used. Now this issue with the site going down for a while. When would registration be open again? Please help: My email is burcakyaz@hotmail.co.uk

154 Sep 07, 2009 at 01:39 by Fox

I’m in Argentina and until yesterday Demonoid worked fine but as of today the site’s down, though the tracker’s still working.

Hope they fix the problem soon!

155 Sep 07, 2009 at 02:15 by James

Sites been dying for the past couple days. Searches coming up with weird errors and files taking two or three reloads to DL. My trackers have also been going up and down and speed has slacked off significantly. Today about ten minutes ago I started getting error messages off the site. Now I can only access a couple of searches and can’t DL any new torrent files.

I hope Demonoid comes back soon.

And to all the haterz: Demonoid Rocks. Sure it has trolls and problems, but overall it is a great site with a good community and some great files. You can request a file on the forums and people will have it for you by the end of the day. They won’t bother you unless your ratio is really really bad, and then maybe they might comment. I seed like crazy (highest ratio: 6.49) just to show how grateful I am for not having to use shitty free sites.

DEMONOID FTW!!!

The rest of the fucktards are jealous or unpleasable.

157 Sep 07, 2009 at 02:59 by MizzDH

its NEVER useless to seed…seeding for ratio purposes only is a greedy practice

Seed to share with your fellow downloaders…coze if they wouldnt seed you wouldnt be getting sweet fk all to download now would u ?

If Demonoid is not there, no more downloads.

Not interested in any other torrent site.

Difficult to bring down the standards – from D: to any other. No other to beat Demonoid, its contents, its content managemnt and its members. It’s like a family of professional people..

Unfortunately down in India ( Hyderabad too) for a week

166 Sep 08, 2009 at 08:50 by kourtneyll

Dang! I thought I was the only one. Last week I already sensed that there was a problem with demonoid and now it just shows a blank page. I hope Demonoid would be back soon… :(

@#08 I totally agree with you.

to all DEMONOID HATERS you just can’t ran off and say something shit about the site, at least state your reason why. I’ve been to several private sites but I keep coming back to demonoid, a lot of demonoid users knows this so I won’t ever leave this site coz i love it.

yeah invites are everywhere but be cautious in giving out invites. you might get banned or warned too if the one you invited doesn’t stick with the rules and regulations.

Philippines here!

Look like they finally started to repair their hardware. The site reports:

Maintenance

We will be back as soon as possible, but this will probably be a prolonged downtime.
Thank you for your patience

194 Sep 15, 2009 at 13:22 by Boroko

@67 – F*ck off, this is a discussion thread, not an opportunity to post adverts for sh*te dating sites.

For all the dumb f*ckers b*tching about Demonoid, get a life – the site kicks ass, it’s the friendliest community I’ve encountered and there’s no sh*t malware uploaded.

TPB is a useful site, but there’s too much bullsh*t and porn on there, and too many tw*ts use it.

While Demonoid is down I’d point anybody in the direction of http://www.isohunt.com – a very useful and efficient portal.

Demonoid will be back soon, just have a little patience … it’s not like your dog has just died or anything!

195 Sep 15, 2009 at 15:29 by andysucks

wow… angry much? anyways…. i just started seeing “We will be back as soon as possible, but this will probably be a prolonged downtime.
Thank you for your patience”. doesnt prolonged mean LONG…? cause that would suck. i am on demonoid everyday. addicted…? probably, but i dont care. can anyone help with a couple sites close to the satisfaction of demonoid. don’t really care for any of the other ones ive come across…

196 Sep 15, 2009 at 16:11 by Catpig

Don’t feel bad andysucks you’re not the only one addicted to demonoid. Until its down I would suggest using Mininova [http://www.mininova.org] or BTJunkie [http://www.btjunkie.com], they’re the best free sites in my opinion.

197 Sep 15, 2009 at 19:27 by Anonymous

First of all demonoid is a public tracker with a semi-private site and anyone who is a memeber who doubts taht can go to the demonoid forums and see the plethora of threads already posted on this issue, so pls stop thinking it is a private tracker, IT IS NOT.

Two, tpb still works and if the tracker doesnt just add http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce to your tracker list, it will connect to the same swarm.

Also, mininova and isohunt are index sites taht have no tracker, if you dont know the difference google bittorrent tracker and read the wiki and do some research. And by going to the mininova wiki you will see that they were given three months to pull down all links to copyright material on their site, it is bad times for them as well.

Demonoid seems to be down all together atm hopefully just to change out the power circuit and ram and other hardware they said had become damaged.
