The Pirate Bay: Demonoid is Welcome in Sweden

After two months of downtime, it is still uncertain whether Demonoid will ever return. However, if it is up to The Pirate Bay, it will. The Pirate Bay has recently offered 2 servers to the Demonoid team, in Sweden of course.

demonoidWill Demonoid ever return? That was the question we asked last December. There was some hope for the thousands of Demonoid users when Deimos, the founder of the site, said that he was looking for a new location to host the popular BitTorrent tracker. He said: “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. And there’s some personal stuff I need to take care of that takes most of my time at the moment, and that does not help.”

It now seems that there’s some good news for Deimos as The Pirate Bay is offering their help. In fact, they claim to have two servers lined up for Demonoid already. Pirate Bay’s Brokep made this public in a recent interview on the Subdemon techcast where he said: “We tried to contact the guys behind Demonoid and we’ve set up a tracker for them but they haven’t responded. But, we have two servers running for them if they want to set it up.” Brokep also says that he hasn’t heard back from Deimos yet, but it sure is a great gesture.

If Demonoid decides to take them up on their offer they will not be alone. In 2007 quite a lot of torrent sites moved to Sweden, and to PRQ in particular. Sweden is considered to be a safe haven for BitTorrent sites, and PRQ is popular because it is owned by TiAMO and Anakata, two of the founders of The Pirate Bay. Ironically, however, The Pirate Bay is not hosted in Sweden or at PRQ, which is probably a wise decision.

In the remainder of the interview Brokep and the interviewers discuss some of the recent news surrounding The Pirate Bay, such as the huge pile of paperwork they received last month, the new protocol they have been developing, and the explosive growth of their tracker. It is definitely worth listening to, and I’m looking forward to the next episodes of this podcast, and to more news surrounding Demonoid.

You can download the podcast, including the interview here, or stream (might be buggy) the torrent and listen to it right away, with Bitlet.

    ALL HAIL PIRATE BAY!!!… their slow torrents and billions of demonoid refugees have come to the rescue…

    im not being scarcastic in anyway…

    i’m glad they have the curtosey (ok and i cant spell) and stature to do such a thing… and i for one would be the proudest to see demonoid come back 2 life… without demonoid… there is no bittorrent… their rules where fantastic…

    every torrent had Screens and most had a good discription and good speed and usually where the first on the net… even beatin a few of the most popular “private” sites….

    weather they come back or not… DEMONOID we respect you and thank u for all the good standards u set in the bittorrent world… and actually gettin me to keep a a ratio above 1…. (it was 3 or 4 i think… probebly higher with lk more than 65gb upload)…

    good luck to Deimos

  • DDS_Repeat

    Awsome!!

    Come on demonoid!!!
    Lets hope that by using pirate bay, demonoid doesnt lose its integrity, lets face it, that site always had…THE BEST CONTENT!…and it was always trusted.
    Nothing against pirate bay because they are incredible, but private trackers GENERALLY have better content.
    When content is leaked from demonoid onto public trackers and indexing sites, it doesnt really matter because at least demonoid still had the correct stuff, besides…it gave more seeders =D

    Long live demonoid – We all miss you.

  • db

    Are two servers enough for demonoid?

    I feel that if Deimos doesn’t accept this (assuming TPB isn’t actually charging an arm and leg for them) then demonoid is really gone for good. I’ve been wondering for a while whether he is even trying to get it back up or just enjoying the break (which is within his rights). This forces the issue and brings everything to a clear ‘is demonoid really coming back’.

    Demonoid always had the best content I could find anywhere. Since you had to register and there were few accounts, there were no bots or craptorrents. Demonoid always had the best selection of comics I could find. Nowhere compared. Since demonoid has passed, I’ve been scavenging for comics, and barely finding anything. I hope demonoid comes back.

    I still think it’s a bad idea to centralize all our trackers in sweeden. I’d prefer demonoid come back on their own server.

    Sure is nice of TPB though…

    Perhaps Demonoid’s return will send all those retards back to Demonoid. Mainly, a bunch of immature nonseeding cry babies, who carry a 0.030 and below ratio.

    “Ironically, however, The Pirate Bay is not hosted in Sweden or at PRQ”

    According to a Geo-IP lookup, thepiratebay.org is hosted at a Port80 facility in Stockholm.

    Unless… traffic destined to that IP address is rerouted behind the scenes to a servers outside the country. Clever!

  • ohme

    As much as I miss DEMONOID I hope that they do what is best for them. I really hope they open another site if that is best for them!
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

    @ People talking about the servers not hosted locally in Sweden, if you listened to our cast at all you would know that he said the servers were scattered all over Europe and the like, he’s the only one who know’s where they all are. And apologies for people who did actually listened to it , for my horse shit quality mic, I DO have a better one now, and we ARE recording a new one tonight and this weekend, we also have another interview with another very big admin from another torrent site… All I can tell you is his name is Erik ;D

    First of all, big thanks to Ernesto for covering our podcast, it really generated some hits for us…

    To address some of the things mentioned here would be a waste of time, as every form of media will always receive negative criticism.

    The only thing that I will address is the “mystery” location of TPB’s servers. This isn’t some claim that we made up, in the podcast Peter himself asserts that THE BULK of TPB’s traffic is handled elsewhere, the fact that “whois” points to PRQ is basically null..

    But again, big thanks to Ernesto for the coverage, hopefully our work can parallel in the future, TF does a great job.

    Every time I hear of someone making an apparently altruistic offer I think 3 things. 1 who has the gun2where is my wallet3 will they at least wear a condom when they try to f**k me.

    TPB may just be the exception but I won’t believe it until I see it. Think of it this way, what better way to give the Swedish prosecutor an ulcer than to have two or more giants to go after.

    Another point that was made in the original posting was that Deimos said that he was having RL stuff that was making things difficult. And if I’m not mistaken there was a financial consideration too.

    I’d love to have Demonoid back and I’d be ecstatic if TPB was to help out with the resurrection. But I won’t lay out any bets on it. If you don’t hear anything in a month or so I’d say “stick a fork in it, it’s done”.

    This is great news. Lets just hope if Demonoid did make a comback in the future, it will be just as good as it was.

    Without Demonoid, bit torrent just hasn’t been the same. I’m sorry fellow OinKers, the loss of Demonoid was a far greater hit to bot-torrent, than the loss of OinK. You could tell just by he number of .flac albums being shared on dump sites when it was alive after OinK, than compared with now. Not that, that is a good measure, but it is a small example. Demonoid was the best,period.

    Just make sure when we “retards” find a new home, and make it as great as Demonoid once was, that you stay the fuck off my .flac torrents you prick. Demonoid didn’t need scum like you.

    You were probably kicked off for a shitty ratio, or never let on, because your attitude sucks. Those with a low ration, were delt with accordingly. We’re not sorry your low ratio wasn’t welcome, you leeching pile of dung.

    Lets be honest
    regardless of every thing deimoos contentiously refused to do the wise thing and keep his community at comfort
    he’s leaving everything up to speculations as its a big conspiracy and hes the one that understand it all
    would’ve been nice of him to visit the subdemon forums and post some comforting posts every now and then rather than vague meaningless replies

    there’s without a doubt people who donated for that community and they deserve to be comforted or at least to feel that the site they donated to appreciated there gesture

  • Barney

    Come on Deimos! TAKE UP THE OFFER! THE WORLD AWAITS THE SECOND COMING OF THE DEMONOID!

  • none

    That cool of pirate bay to offer 2 servers to demonoid. I sure hope it goes thru soon!

  • Perry

    Will us canadians still be able to access demonoid? :S And, will our account still be active?

  • Pxl

  • anonymous coward

    Nobody seems to care about the fact that you could find almost any file on demonoid. I just the other day found a torrent on mininova that was using the tracker from demonoid. Sure the tracker didnt work but I still downloaded it just fine. Demonoid still lives as a distant shadow. One day I hope the great and powerful Demonoid rises from the mists. HIP HIP HOORAH!

  • CD ‘Bar’ Baric

    The subdemon.com website hosted out of Dallas, Texas is a total ripoff.

    All they do is stuff the site full of banner ads and then make money off of people moaning about demonoid.

    Many people there actually expect to see demonoid come back and any comments to the contrary brings the poster automatic muting and banning.

    I have yet to see any posts from Deimos that actually state that demonoid will come back – it is very likely the whole userbase has been hijacked and is just being used to get page views for the banner ads.

    What a horrible ending to what was at one time an excellent service.

  • Zoness

    Demonoid had a good selection, I could always find something on the fly and just get it without going through this big ritual-type deal like on supposed scene private sites. I hope he takes up the offer.

  • ???

    what i dislike the most is forum dictator aka mod
    they are like child abuser and they love being in control
    they love attention
    they have no life
    they are boring and uses people to keep them preoccupy
    these loser really need to get a hobby and stop policing the forum as if they are ruler of the world.
    it doesn’t take much to piss them off just make any criticism and instant ban!

  • hacker jack

    demonoid or known as lameonnoid.cum

  • the wizard

    http://www.torrentstorage.com/index.php

    For thosse that refuse to google and just keep reading the subdemonoid forums that are directed to misdirect alot of people ie..the law this is the new site it started from scratch and you can find archives about demois setting this site up. All it takes is for the people to know, and add torrents and bam you have a new demonoid. I ALSO KNOW BECAUSE I GOT A EMAIL FROM THE SITE TELLING ME THE DETAILS A MONTH AFTER I HAD SIGNED UP. So go sign up upload and forget about demonoid.com that domain name will never be used for more than it is now. It is not a copy cat site, it is the new site!!

  • the wizard

    oh for the people who say NO it is a lok alike or fake just go to demonoid.com right click/ then view source code. Then do the same for the site above. It takes a bit of html knowledge to know everything your reading, but even I found in the new site that demois archives via google scripts has lines like this from torrentstorage.com

    src=”themes/NBdemon/images/17.gif

    The NBdemon is even in archives meaning NEW BITTORENT DEMON!

    It is real people wake up!!!!!!

    If you or a company you was working with was going to sue would you come back with the same domain name? NO!
    Would you post in your forum here is the new demonoid.com? NO!

    wake up!!!!!!

  • MM

    Why should we care if Deimos is behind it, as far as I care George W and Bill Gates are running it. It’s a working site, the looks are familiar, the choice of torrents is a bit low but that can grow.

  • Bad man from L-town

    we lost one ….

    now suck it up ppl , you can always buy the originals ..lmao

  • tibytza

    Hi..could someone please try this out and tell me if it works.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    “MAKE $50K – FAST & LEGAL”
    Posted by dcwill43 on Aug-31-06 at 01:23 PM (PT)
    Make $50,000 fast- perfectly legal! REALLY WORKS!

    THIS IS NOT A JOKE…….IT REALLY WORKS…….I SWEAR!

    Matthew Jenneson, Cleveland, Oh -”within 2 hours I had $400″

    Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ?
    Do you have a PayPal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT’S TOTALLY FREE !!! )
    You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month’s time with more money coming in every month thereafter !

    $ 50,000 in PayPal ?
    That’s Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!!
    You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal.
    $ 10 that’s all it takes. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet.
    To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your PayPal account or even more.
    Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Intregrity make this system work.
    I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE ! If you’re not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.
    Sign up for PayPal here http://www.paypal.com
    It’s real easy to set up and it’s FREE !!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.
    Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: “Please add me to your list”. This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: “Thank you. I’ve joined”.
    Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th.
    DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST !
    If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top.
    REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message “PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST”, and send an e-mail with the words “THANK YOU – I’VE JOINED” and the other $5.00 dollars to the 5th person.
    This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list:
    1.) desaulles3@yahoo.com
    2.) Justin3442@aim.com
    3.) neuclaalum1@hotmail.com
    4.) jhorton999@yahoo.com
    5.) deeprules@hotmail.com
    (Make sure it’s the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment)
    Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via PayPal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 “THANK YOU. I’VE JOINED” replies.
    The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are.
    MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!!
    Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it’s common sense – you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!!
    You will recieve thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! )
    ********************
    TESTIMONIALS:
    Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC:
    I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD ! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming ! I’m still floating in air (especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work ! THANKS !
    Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:
    I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $ 22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account !
    HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS AGAIN:
    Step 1.
    Set up your PayPal account, if you don’t already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON’T FORGET to include “Please add me to your list”. This is important as it keeps the program legal.
    Step 2.
    Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and and a note stating “Thank you. I’ve joined” to the 5th name on the list.
    Step 3.
    Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts.
    Step 4.
    Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 “Thank you, I’ve joined” replies in your mailbox.
    That’s it, It’s that simple !

    Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !

  • RacerX

    Torrentstorage.com is not the new Demonoid. Do a whois lookup on the domain and see that it is registered by Godaddy. Would Deimos register through Godaddy? I seriously doubt it. If that doesn’t convince you then ping the domain and see what IP address you get. Do a location lookup on that IP and see that it is hosted in Michigan! If I can do this than you know the MPAA knows how to do this. How long do you think it will take to shut this site down… IF it’s not the MPAA behind it???

    Hey wizard, why don’t you WAKEUP!

  • zapata

    Does anybody have good reason to believe that the above site, newdemonoid.blogspot.com, is not a scam to collect money and has nothing to do with Demonoid?

    I’m downloading from Pirate Bay trackers now and it’s like pulling teeth. Without restricted registrations you end up with a bunch of selfish kids, shooting themselves in the feet by not sharing.

    Don’t get me wrong- I’m glad PB is there.

  • zapata

    The New Demonoid blog (above)has no connection with Demonoid.

    The Piratebay is going big by doing this, even when they are hated by the RIAA and are hunted. They go and do this. Kings Of Torrents! I applaude them for their Solidarity. Allthough this is quite old, and last I read the piratebay admins are going to court, even though I doubt they will be convicted for anything:) Go Piratebay!

    hope deimos takes up the offer will be sweet to use demonoid again
