Demonoid Tracker Moves to Ukraine
Written by Ernesto on March 16, 2008Demonoid, 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?
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.
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?

To any muttonheads arguing about
- Ukraine
vs.
- The Ukraine
“The” as a prefix for a country name is more complex than you (likely) realize.
+++++++++++++++++++
From wikipedia
The Ukrainian word Ukrayina is from Old East Slavic ukraina “borderland”, from u “by, at” and the Slavic root kraj “edge; region”. In the Ukrainian language krayina simply means “country.” In English, the country is referred to without the definite article, conforming to the usual English grammar rules for names of countries. Before the country’s independence in 1991, the country was often referred to as “The Ukraine.” The term ‘Ukraine’ rather than ‘The Ukraine’ is now predominant in diplomacy and journalism.

The distribution of stupid people is systemic. As is the distribution of yobs. As is…
meh - you smart enough to follow the logic?
“Are” dropped for comedic effect/affect the rational being dramatic/poetic license/licence.

@ Oh yeah, because I care about
@ Demonoid.
You’re pretty foolish if you expect a comment thread on the net on a tiny article to do anything other than be a source of mirth.
Demonoid is like a 1 minute soap opera that has episodes months apart.

Since every country is usually considered ultimate to their own name. “The” is used to say that the noun is authoritative (or owner) of it’s name. For example, if you were the only Nick , we would refer to you as the Nick. But since you are not we refer to you as the Asshole.[/quote]
“the” refers to the region of eastern europe of which part is the country of ukraine. and not just usa residents make the mistake.
[quote comment="314104"]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 :)[/quote]

[quote comment="313125"]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.[/quote]
Um, what? You realize that SERBIA started WWI by assassinating Archduke Ferdinand (dragging Prussia and then the rest of the world into war)?! In addition, the US was [i]begged[/i] by the Allies in both wars to enter the conflict LONG before it did.

Asserting that people from the US are any more “money-grubbing” or capatilistic than the Gnomes of Zurich is, well, naive at best.
[quote]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.[/quote]
LOL. Interesting. So… Babbage (inventor of the [i]idea[/i] of the digital computer) invented the vacuum tube or transistor, then (what made it actually possible)? You’re just as far off as someone from the US claiming all credit, bubbeleh.

It’s high time they get the site up and running. Demonoid was by far the BEST torrent site and there’s tons of torrents previously hosted on demonoid u can’t find elsewhere.
Fingers crossed as someone said

Hear Hear *Insert Applause*
Demonoid will come back soon! Demons are with Demonoin!
Come back to daddy demonoid! Daddy misses you so much!
email: demod@hell.com
who REALLY wants Demonoid to come back? while it did have a large selection, it was a leecher’s haven. Poor seeders and no enforcement against hit and run leechers. It took quite awhile to get most of the torrents.
Very good news for all torrent lovers
