Demonoid Tracker Moves to Ukraine

Written by Ernesto on March 16, 2008 

Demonoid, once one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers, has reappeared again, this time hosted in Ukraine. The website is still down but the trackers are now fully operational again, perhaps a sign that Demonoid is crawling back up to speed?

demonoidIn 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.

A month ago we reported on the brief resurrection of the Demonoid tracker in Malaysia. At the time we hinted at the possibility that the site could perhaps be planning a comeback. Unfortunately the tracker went offline again after a few days. With no official response from the Demonoid team, it remains a mystery what the reason behind the resurrection was.

Now, a month later, the Demonoid tracker is again responding. Just over a week ago, Demonoid torrents began to work again, this time being tracked from Ukraine.

The new host of inferno.demonoid.com is the Ukrainian ISP Cocall Ltd, while the frontend of the site still remains in the US. Again, there is no official explanation for the return of the tracker, although many hope that it’s a sign that the site will be fully up and running soon.

Last December, Demonoid’s founder Deimos spoke about the future of the site: “Money is an issue, but the real problem at the moment is finding a suitable place to host the website. There has been no luck there.” Perhaps he now found his safe harbor in Ukraine?

Jon, please shut the hell up. We, the Europeans, created your country. What’s your surname? I’m sure it’s American… :p[/quote]

Lies, the Indians did. The Europeans just rob it from them :f[/quote]

which type of indian do u mean ?

the original india indian or the native american red indian,which europeans invaders(who’ud latter become american)mistook for ?[/quote]

The red indians of course. Besides that, the Viking were there long before the south Europeans, but they apparently liked their own homes more.

Or it was The Pirate Bay looking for a place to setup their servers on, then smelled the income of RIAA and MPAA on that area, which led them to sail back to good ol’ Viking home.

There you go, now you know what REALLY happened. Don’t believe what history books say, they aren’t allowed to mention TPB.

It’s funny how many people are envious of America,I’m sure the same comments were made about Egypt,Rome,Russia…etc. at one time. It’s true are president is a dumb ass and we have are great democratic system to thank for that.The majority of Americans did not vote for Bush.When any empire becomes the the most powerful in the the world it creates arrogance,ignorance and corruption and it will cause are demise and history will keep repeating it’s self over and over again until we cause are own extinction.Possibly we may learn from our past, but it is doubtful.

America has also given us the RIAA, the MPAA, most of the anti piracy outfits and lawsuits for filesharing, they funded WWI, WWII, and every significant war since. They spread greed and capitalism wherever thay go and are a nation of uneducated fat bastards.

What has Europe given the world? Well lets see, the telephone, the television, the computer, the internal combustion engine, magnetic tape, compact discs, mp3, America :(, radio, the jet engine, the rocket, penecillin, RADAR, steel, the globe atlas, the light bulb, (which wasnt edison you fucktards), and on and on and on.

America is phail and aids.

120 Mar 17, 2008 at 15:50 by i hate bush

fact is americas full or tards & till they fix their political system the rest of the world will continue to think this way , you cant expect respect while acting like a spoilt child.
the only people who would disagree with this are americans themselfs who think the world owes them something because of who they are , , as it stands america is goin to be remembered for the bad things they have done & the crappy dumb politicians they vote in , not for anything good

ALL HAIL DEMONOID , cant wait for it to come back , can never have enough BT sites
