Demonoid Trackers Back Online, Site Still Down
Written by Ernesto on September 29, 2007Demonoid.com mysteriously disappeared earlier this week, but there is hope. The website is still down but the trackers are now fully operational again, perhaps a sign that Demonoid is crawling back up?
The demonoid downtime caused quite some controversy, especially after the popular Dutch news site nu.nl reported that the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) was responsible for the downtime.
We contacted both the CRIA and Demonoid’s ISP in an attempt to confirm the story, but they didn’t want to respond to these allegations. Both parties confirmed nor denied their involvement. In addition, we tried to get an official response from Deimos, the founder and the head admin of Demonoid, unfortunately without any result.
The general consensus in the Demonoid IRC channel now is that the downtime is caused by hardware issues, and that the site will probably return within a few days.
Others still think that the Canadian ISP took Demonoid offline after they received legal threats (from the CRIA), but this is just speculation at this point. Demonoid’s ISP said earlier that it would not hesitate to pull the plug on Demonoid if they had to, however, this explanation is less plausible now because the trackers still run on the same IP. This indicates that the servers are still hosted by their Canadian ISP.
It is great to see that the second largest BitTorrent tracker is back in action. Thousands of torrents stopped responding when the tracker went down, frustrating over a million BitTorrent users. I guess it’s time to finish these torrents.
Update: Demonoid Returns, Forced to Block Canadian Traffic By the CRIA

There are thousands of guys out there hopein’ Demonoid is goin’ to get back…lets stop talkin’ shit and concentrate on the matter at stake…explaining stuff for that @90 asshole who stupidly called my country backwater is not my kind of activity…i beat the shit out of them!!!
Lets just stick to the subject from now on!!!
youbinwarned- at least I’m man enough to use the name that I use on every other site/forum, and not hide behind some mickey mouse name to spread gossip and hearsay like an old woman……it is entertaining reading your nonsense though….believe me, a lot of people are laughing at you rather than with you!!
@ youbinwarned Tha thu cho duaichnidh ri èarr à irde de a’ coisich deas damh
If IP addresses are available, the authorities can send letters to your ISP demanding your personal information from them, collect them as an evidence, and try to prove you have uploaded/distributed illegal copies of the material, and try to pin you down. Anyways, they cannot pull up lakhs of people. They maight do it with few hundreds at random to create scare amongst the public/torrent society.
@103.. exactly.. Russia would be a good move (and probably the only one left), but no real word has come out yet…*waiting*
EVERYONE ELSE… LOOK at how many naysayers have entered this thread since I posted….All trying to reassure you that I’m talking crap (which if true would be verifiable from google at least :O).
I’m telling you people, something fishy is going on (reinforced by people calling bullshit!)…. BE CAREFUL… as we all know, we ARE being watched, that a FACT!
I could point you to a site where at least 4 demonoid mods are right now, they could shoot your theory down in a heartbeat….but I won’t cos it will get flooded with ignoramuses like youbinwarned!
Question: I did a whois on Demonoid got this…. can it be right..? have they moved or is this just the registration address????

Tell that to alofmp3.
111.I have registered inthe site Ruzsteroid.com now to assess the status. Hardly could I find any conversation in English. Are they speaking in Spanish?
Good fucking grief.
Ipswichross.. you ARE seriously using the same nick!!!!!! :O :O
PEOPLE check this out if you REALLY want to consider this bozo as an informed poster.
(edited (no links?).. check out google for “ipswichross”)
ipswichross, you are an uninformed BOZO.
TO ALL: The very fact that we are all focussed on the subject “Demonoid” demonstrates all are equally involved and concerned about ‘our’ demonoid.
Lets understand each individual has his own point of view from his/her situation and cause of his/her concern.We are not against each other here. We are just sharing our concerns and point of views, respecting each other…

No It doesn’t make him an idiot it shows he has nothing to hide. unlike u

that quote didn’t work right my comment got buried in the middle…
what I said was ….. it doesn’t make him an idiot it shows that he has nothing to hide.
The majority of you people really make me laugh. Seriously, it’s amusing.
Ah well, you can all postulate reasons if you wish - but I’m telling you, it’s another hardware failure and we WILL be back online. The trackers are now back online, but that’s just not good enough for you .. is it?
Bunch of fucking children. Whinge, Whine, Moan, Whinge, Whine. You are ALL hereby drafted into FLoP.
Good lesson for all of us not to panic and to check our sources, and if you can’t check them at least quote them. Please don’t let it happen again.
Sure the CRIA felt smug at seeming significant for a week.
@Pal: Demonoid has been registered at a Russian address well prior to this incident.
Oh.. and “youbinwarned” — you’re a tool. Seriously, go kill yourself. You’ll be doing the world a favour ;)
@To Everyone that doesn’t have a clue:
Ruzster was a Global Moderator on Demonoid and when the site was having problems with the database, last year, he created a temporary forum. We use that whenever Demonoid has issues. Now, for the time-being, we’re all over there — ALL. We’re the same mod team as on Demonoid. It’s the same bloody site!
SABIN you asshole..
Then SURELY people in the know would write something to ward off these “rumours”.
Get with the program man, get your finger out.

I am with the program, numbskull. Since you don’t recognize my name.. I deduce that it’s YOU that needs to get with the program. Firstly;
You didn’t know fuck-all about Ruzsteroid. That shows a lack of intelligence AND a lack of time spent on Demonoid. You’ve never even been with us, you’re just using this opportunity to troll.
Secondly;
I’ve been a moderator on Demonoid for over two years. If I say something is going on with Demonoid, then you can bet your skanky ass — something is going on. We WILL be back shortly and, in the meantime, our trackers are now back online.
Provide some proof to your childish rants and moans, or kindly shut the fuck up. Thankyouverymuch.
demonoid is the best site for torrents
its simple & it works
all other sites r complicated
only on demonoid u can search for lossless files for music or magazines for books
peace
& dont touch my demonoiDDDDDD

It’s run entirely by the same mod-team, bud :) All the moderators and staff from Demonoid.com are the ones running Ruzster.com
I definitely recommend people to sign up and wait for the official announcements :)
