Demonoid To Be Resurrected Under New Admin
Written by enigmax on April 11, 2008Deimos, the administrator of Demonoid has announced that he is stepping down for good due to his preoccupation with ‘real-life’ issues. For those tearing their hair out with dismay, you can stop now. The site will be resurrected under a trusted new admin and Deimos is asking the community to give him support.
Ever since Demonoid had to leave Canada, there has been speculation about the future of the site. Although the tracker has been returning periodically from various places - the latest being Ukraine - no solid news has been coming out about a proper comeback. Deimos, the Demonoid admin, has been very quiet - until now, that is.
In a message on the SubDemon forums, Deimos breaks his silence:
Hello Everyone,
It is with great sadness (and not a little relief) that I announce that I will be stepping down as admin of Demonoid, with effect from today.
Demonoid is currently suffering from a number of things, prime amongst these being my distraction with real-world issues, and so I have handed the reins over to a new administrator - a close friend of mine, which I trust completely and has the knowledge and time to take care of the site.
He will, in due course, be making his own announcements about the future of Demonoid. Of course, speculation over the future of the site is fun, but it is ultimately fruitless - you will all, in the near future, become aware of what the future holds. I trust that you will all give your support to the new admin as he finds his feet while he resurrects Demonoid.
Thanks again for your support in making Demonoid what it was and is.
Goodbye and good wishes - it has been a blast!- Deimos
It’s great news for the BitTorrent community that the future of Demonoid is in trusted hands and for some, quite a surprise after such a long wait. But it just might be worth it if one of the world’s most popular trackers does indeed come back with a bang.
Update: The Demonoid RSS feeds started to work again.

Do not use h33t!

all will stay or we will register at the site again????
thanks for the good news
[quote comment="340558"]everybody could use the tracker. Think Demonoid should have a member limit, using passkey and enforcing ratio rules. Demonoid was leecher’s paradise.[/quote]And thus seeds at least were up WAAAAY longer, and download speeds were ALWAYS decent. You dipsh_ts nagging about ratios have no idea what bittorrent needs. It does not need ratio rules, it needs more peers.
As if ratio is of ANY importance in a world with 100 Mbit up/down fiber at home. In case you’ve missed it; Many suffer from OVER-seeding on stupid private sites like the ones you seem to prefer. Idiot.
[quote comment="341285"]goodbye Deimos and thanks for the ride
for all the guys like myself who were there from day 1 on Demonoid it genuinely hurts to see this happen today. when you grow up with a site admin you know who he is, what he does, why he does it. Deimos was trusted
the most recent history of Demonoid has been chaotic and full of confusion and uncertainty. Demonoid has not been acting in the interests of members, Demonoid has been busy with its own business. the people who watch that business indicate a difficult negotiation and handover after a sale
none of us knows this new admin. Deimos selling the site has to say “a new administrator - a close friend of mine” because the site would be worthless if he did not. after all the strange jumps of the past year, who do you trust?
i will be watching, along with others, and we will out the new owners. we already know who was interested to buy, only now we need the evidence. what is interesting is that they have gone so far to place the servers out of MAFIAA reach in an attempt to dodge confrontations with MAFIAA country organisations e.g. CRIAA, when it was not necessary
one thing torrent site operators can do is attempt to rent a server from the ISP hosting the Demonoid boxes. go try it and see what happens
keep very aware of the huge profits available in the USA from tracking filesharers and sending the $20,000 cease and desist and pay up or go to court letters. it is a multi-million dollar business
everything about the letter from Deimos and everything surrounding events stinks of corporate action and activity
warning: they have all your logs. do NOT login to the new Demonoid with your old nickname. if you must then re-register and use a proxy. you have been warned
DO USE sites with communities in a relationship with their operators. do use sites you can trust

First of all, h33t sucks big time. Nothing more aggravating than once a week getting a PM demanding donations because “We can’t pay the servers & our bill is due”. Excuse me but what bill is due once a week? Second of all, it seems to me your real concern is fear of the competition coming back. If Deimos was going to sell us users out for a price, he would have done so long a go when the site first went down. not now months upon months later when half the members have already gone elsewhere.
LOL at all the comments on this….I too belong to several private trackers…and frequently use public ones too…..Of which most are total crap….
The private ones….have the same stuff the public ones do….but not much in the way of rare stuff….the public ones….infested with crap…fakes,virus…etc…
In all the time at demonoid….never got a fake….never got a virus….period….
I sure can’t say that about any of the others private or public….
And finding rare stuff….forget it….all you find is the same files from tracker to tracker….all from the same source…and all arguing over who put it up 1st…..
Who cares anyway??? And topsites….they never had anything that you couldn’t find on demonoid….period.
[quote comment="341207"]lmfao Demonoid sucks, only n00bs use it because they don’t have axx.
fuckin lamers go use feedthenet, scenetorrents or sceneaccess then reply u newbies.[/quote]
You’re living in a dream. There IS NO SCENE anymore. Any kid out there can rip and ‘release’ media. You’re the noob here, since you’re unable to evolve, progress, go with the flow, learn about new tech. Fool.
[quote comment="340543"]Demonoid was no where near the best, it made people think it was good by becoming invite only, it didn’t have everything you wanted, it had some exclusive stuff, but other trackers and sites have exclusive content. It was just popular. Jack of all trades, master of none.[/quote]
Find me the best site than Demonoid?

QFT! nothing else out there comes close to beating the selection and quality control Demonoid had. Never while Demonoid was up did I ever have to go elsewhere to look for anything. I can only hope it will stay the same in its resurrection
I never needed demonoid, I always have eMule.
Demonoid is back online.
whooo hooo Pinch me i think i’m dreaming!
wow, its back right now and my ratio and login details all work as normal.

Nah nah nah nah threads never appeal to me - [that's sort of a lie - but never mind]
My point is this - when you say “Demonoid was not the best” - okay - back up your statement. What is the best? Give links.
I loved demonoid. Why?
1
It was easy to find stuff - movies, music, software and things like ufc vidoes.
2
I could count on the comments - I knew what was shit, what was possibly shit and what was worth uploading.
And if some clown uploaded a movie in the English section that was in Spanish, Italian or Polish or whatever - somebody was always quick to point out the problem.
3
The forum was useful (when the site was up that is).
4
It was easy to keep up your ratio. All you had to do was seed. The site was so busy uploading wasn’t necessary.
5
It saved me volumes of time - if I wanted a virus free copy of software or some obscure French film - whatever I was looking for - I always started by search first at demonoid.
===
The second best site was and is The Pirate Bay. But it’s not nearly as easy to know what’s what.
An example - ufc 83 will happen in a couple weeks. And since TPB is an open tracker it will be *entirely* hit or miss to find out which torrents are real and which are fake. And the comments are useless and inaccurate.
http://www.demonoid.com is online if you type that address in from the United Kingdom, there is no domain name change.

http://www.demonoid.com is too back on line you freaking idiot. Shut up and go away, nobody likes your stupid money hungry site anyhow.

It doesn’t look like demonoid to me. More like a cover to get you to start seeding and collecting more ip’s.
the old login details work and the subdemonoid forum backs up that this is genuine.
http://www.demonoid.com/ Is up and running.
demonoid.com is online fucktard. fix your interwebz.
