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

He knows it was from me, not him. Of course it was! Neither he, nor you, have the mental capacity to compose posts as wonderful and perfect as my own :)
Don’t worry about it, people like you can always take jobs as binmen or cleaners. There’s no shame in it.
Yeah… you’re pushing it a bit now, Sabin. :)

Maybe.. but it was funny :P
When the site went down and people’s torrents continued to download. I turned off one of my torrents intending to restart later. When I swicthed it back on the tracker did not work for two days as was the case for everyone. The tracker’s are back up now and I was able to recomense my download without problems. This indicates that something somewhere along the line has been fixed/put right and bodes well for the future return of the site. There is no secert inteligence agency going to be demanding your data from your internet service provider that idea is a little too far-fetched with what we know of the law.

Again.. true enough.
You see how much easier things are when you relax and just kick back .. rather than kicking OFF? Yes, the site is down - and yes, it will be back online. You just have to have patience.
Deimos got the trackers back online so at least people can still continue seeding/downloading.
That broken quote function is driving me up the wall ¬_¬
