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?

Stupid fuckin yourapeeins. Go start a blog somewhere about the U.S. and get the hell off of torrentfreak. Were here to talk about torrent related issues. You hate the U.S. so much why are you on a site hosted in the U.S. then? Piss off!

I LOVE when people start flaming eachother for what country they’re from. That’s the ultimate retardation. Anyway, back to the real issue. I don’t know if i really care if demonoid comes back. Sure it had a lot of good quality stuff, but i’ve gotten used to the fact that it is a downed legend that will live in our memories forever. What the fuck am i talking about, LETS BRING IT BACK BOYS. One of the best private trackers on the net. FF

I saw ELVIS! He was in a 711 an he was using Demonoid. He was there with Salmon Rushdie and they were having a slurpie. Salmon said they were downloading Duke Nukem Forever.

Sriously: What’s with the cloak and dagger. Wish deimos would just tell us what’s going on. Or maybe TPB will install a Demonoid-like web interface and we won’t need deimos anymore? Tired of waiting.

I am Deimos. We have relocated Demonoid to Mars. Coverage is very patchy at the moment. Don’t leave your keyboard, because I’ll be along with more exciting news shortly.

I hope that Demonoid will be back soon. A revival of legend it will be.

Actually, it was the combined efforts of the USSR and Great Britain that stopped Germany (In WW2) and Great Britain alone in WW1.
The yanks just swooned in and claimed their victory, They could never fight and still cant :)
