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

LOOOOOL!!! Okay that does it!
Every post saying something negative about Demonoid or Sabin is obviously not me! Also, I use caps at the beginning of my sentences! *rolls eyes* In fact, every post with the name “meMilly” after this one, is a fake!

One aspect of these arguments is true, The trackers are running inspite of a downed site. Does that strike anyone as Weird?? Go with me on this-Rumored that Utorrent was involved with the mpaa, Fact-utorrent “the newest version is sending packets from your computer- Fact the trackers from demonoid are collecting IP adresess.
Good or bad its taking place. I a well seasoned pirate is avoiding the bad weather and sailing my ship through smoother waters.Avoid possible trouble. Just wait it out and see what happens in the next few days and we will all know how to better navigate through all this media a little better. Arr

When demonoid went down before it was just the site, the trackers stayed up.

[quote comment="176839"]You are all fucking morons that whine like rape victims about demonoid going down and you come here for the info you get pissed when it turns out to be something different… Demonoid isn’t the only torrent site around you know, but the way most of you are crying about it you would think it is… get over it already… fucking children…[/quote]
Fuck you dumbcunt, go play in trafic and make us all happy =]
LETS SEE IF WE CAN POST SO MUCH WE BREAK THE TORRENFREAK SITE (THEN WE CAN START A RUMOUR THAT IT WAS TAKEN DOWN BY THE PRESS ASSOCIATION FOR BEING SO FACTUALLY INACCURATE)
If you’re going to pretend to be someone who you are not, for example, Sabin, then at least have the common sense enough to type in the same manner as the one you’re pretending to be: capitalize your words, use proper punctuation, and spell correctly. Sabin is not nearly as ignorant as some of you pretending to be him appear: learn proper English or stop posting on a publicly accessible site.
helo im sabbin form demoniod and my grilfiend is memily and aparattus cant spel
