Demonoid Is Back Online
Written by Ernesto on April 12, 2008Yesterday, we reported that the popular BitTorrent tracker Demonoid was to be resurrected, under a new administrator. Now, less that a day later the site has made its comeback after exactly 6 months of downtime.
A message posted on the Demonoid frontpage confirms that Deimos, the former administrator, left the Demonoid staff. The site seems to be working properly, as does the tracker, but there could be some downtime in the next few days. All the people who had an account at the time the site shut down can still sign in with the same username and password.
The resurrection of the popular BitTorrent traffic marks the end of a tough year for the site. The trouble for Demonoid started back in June last year, when the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN started to put pressure on Demonoid and their ISP, Leaseweb. Deimos decided that the Netherlands wasn’t the safe haven it used to be and he to moved the site to Canada, which resulted in a few days of downtime.
Deimos never really told the administrators or members of the site exactly what was happening. Initially, most members assumed that there was some hardware failure, but after a few days it became clear that Demonoid was more or less forced to move. Maybe there could have been hardware failures too, who knows, but the outcome was the same - Canada here we come.
Relocating the servers to Canada initially solved the problems, but, by the end of September Deimos took Demonoid offline for the second time. Again, nobody knew what was going on until we found out that the CRIA was responsible for the downtime, which was later confirmed by Deimos. It turned out that Canada wasn’t the best choice after all.
After 5 days of downtime the site returned, now blocking all traffic from Canadian users in an attempt to calm down the CRIA. At first it looked like the storm was finally over, but on November 9th Demonoid’s users were welcomed by a disappointing message on the frontpage explaining that the CRIA was indeed responsible for the downtime.
The site never came back after November last year, up until now that is. Let’s hope it lasts this time.

You can see more comments on this topic on the forum of millionaire dating site “w e a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m now.
AWESOME!
the arguments on here are laughable. a lot of people claiming they know what’s going on and a lot of tinfoil hattery.
I don’t see the point why to feel terrorised because of keeping your ratio right being so dificult to find leachers to upload for. I always make my 1.1 ratio ( because I’m fair ) on btjunkie in just a day or two. I’ve used two private ones b4 and it was a pain in the arse. So I don’t give much shit about the pvt torrents any more and I must be lucky theat in our country is still safe haha. cheers, and you guys try using other words then just fuck and fuck, it is so boring !

You can, and this goes for every MAFIAA plant, go hug a speeding bus.[/quote]
Well said pal! ;)
It’s nice to see Demonoid back.
And all those FUD-wimps trying to scare people of by claiming to have been sued (already? One day after reopening - on a sunday? No lawyer works on sunday an no lawyer will work that fast - ever! Especially not the dumb greedy ones working for XXIAAs!) or pretending to be a grandmother in dispair - that knows nothing about p2p but knows how to post on torrentfreak and how to write MAFIAA? - must be a hell of a stupid granny bitch … ;)
It’s amazing how many stupid tards are spamming a public forum like torrentfreak, desperately searching for the few nutheads that are even more stupid than the morons themselfs ….
————————–
“Go, hug a speeding bus” is really the only appropriate thing to tell them!
And btw: What an amazing day now that demonoid has reappeared!!!
Let’s go and continue to build the most noble, generous, modest and comprehensive torrent community out there!
NoOne likes greedy, wannabe elite, fooled into paying, cheating sites that are only praised by their creators (sic!).
Demonoid has set a community standard that so many other miserably fail to achieve because of their egomaniac greedy creators.
Demonoid is a beacon of the true spirit of filesharing - and it’s a glorious day to see it alive and kickin’ again!!!
All my best wishes to the new crew and a big thanks to deimos for his brave achievements!!!
It’s a glorious day for the world of file-sharing!!!
YYYYYYYYYYESEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew this day would come. I never removed the benchmark even. I’d click on it every few weeks, and hope.
Welcome back, Demonoid. WELCOME!
As for the scum that stood in our way: CRIA can tongue my hemaroid. Julie Wright is a whore whose vagina drips pus. RIAA can eat a feces sandwich.

> That’s right! If you use Demonoid, you’ll end up losing *at least* $20,000!! Also, it’ll give you brain cancer and make your penis fall off!!!
Whoa there. Penis?
> I wonder, dickhead, could you make it any more transparent that you’re a cocksucking little MAFIAA toadie?
I love these MAFIAA toadies? They post on TPG and say “don’t download! virus!” or “doesn’t activate”. We’re onto you. You too Kasperspy.
Welcome back Demonoid!
interesting way to run the site, hosting the files and running the tracker from 2 different countries.
and making the limitations to the entire public to use rather then be entirely private.
maybe demonoid has a fighting chance…i hope they got a lot of fight in them cause they’ll prob need it.
yeahhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!
We are back in business!!!!!
Man, das ist sowas von geil !
Really i love Demonoid. I had to wait a while until i became a chance for an account but it was worth the time.
In my opinion its even better than thepiratesbay because its easier to find what you search for and its always good Quality.
This was really a nice weekend present for me.
