Reports: Demonoid Blocking Countries
Written by enigmax on June 20, 2008According to an ever increasing wave of emails to TorrentFreak, it appears that residents of at least two countries can no longer access Demonoid. Not only are users from the Netherlands complaining they cannot access the site but now it’s the turn of Brazilian BitTorrent fans to wonder why they’ve been cut off.
Whenever a popular torrent site goes down, it’s fairly normal for us to start receiving emails from users concerned about what’s happening, which then dry up fairly quickly after the site in question returns. Just recently we’ve been receiving a steady stream of emails asking why Demonoid is down which seemed strange because the site was operating normally each time we checked.
These sort of problem - when users in one geographical location can access a site when others can’t - is usually down to DNS issues which generally resolve themselves in a short time. However, in the case of Demonoid, this doesn’t appear to offer the answer.
According to reports we’ve received, when users from the Netherlands try to access Demonoid all they get is a blank white page. However, should they try to access the site using a proxy or VPN making the visitor appear they are not from the Netherlands, the user can now gain access. The block happens on all the major ISPs, and are persistent.
Canadians, having been previously blocked, remain unblocked, presumably after Demonoid fell out of range of the CRIA. However, more recently reports indicate that not only are Dutch users blocked from Demonoid, but in an unlikely scenario, Brazilians appear to be blocked too. So what could be at the bottom of this?
There could be some purely technical issues with the web, but as time goes on, this seems less and less likely. It is of course possible that Demonoid itself has some technical problems, having reported that the site had a few bugs to be ironed out around 9 days ago or so. If this is the case, there will be lots of relieved people around.
It’s also possible that there is a legal angle to these blocks, after all this type of action by Demonoid isn’t new in its quest to stay within the law. Around 12 months ago Demonoid blocked Dutch users for a while, as the pressure from BREIN increased quietly behind the scenes, and then later on very publicly blocked millions of Canadians following pressure from the CRIA, only to unblock them again after moving to ’safer’ Ukraine-based hosting.
But, if Ukraine is ’safe’ as a host country, why block the Netherlands, and why block Brazil of all places? As it turns out there is a Demonoid/Brazil link, in that the Demonoid.com domain has a protected WHOIS provided by the Brazilian-based Neurocube.com, which in turn is hosted in the Netherlands at Demonoid’s old host, LeaseWeb. And of course, Netherlands-based anti-piracy group BREIN aren’t the biggest supporters of Demonoid either - and have lots of resources - but whether or not they still hold anything over the site in order to force a block of an entire country is a matter of speculation.
In the absence of any announcement from the new admin of Demonoid (which seems incredibly unlikely), it’s some users of Demonoid who asked us to find out why they can’t access the site. Unfortunately, we don’t have the answer for them right now, maybe they will become more clear in the future.
In the meantime, please keep us updated in the comments with access reports from your country and we’ll try to keep people updated on the position for Dutch and Brazilian Demonoid fans. If you can or cannot access Demonoid, we’d like to hear from you.

Same here in belgium,
Can’t access Demonoid for about 3 weeks now without foreign proxy
canada still can this time… lol
Blank here too (NL - Chello) without foreign proxy.
Demonoidtorrents indexed by Isohunt are running just fine.
Free proxy http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
Egypt:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage :(
Yes it doesn’t work in belgium too. Very strange, any other site I can think of works fine.
It might be a good idea to include (parts of) your IP when reporting errors to the editors of torrentfreak. Maybe the blocklists supposed to be in place are faulty.
I can Access it from:
Russia - Moscow
and
Afghanistan - Kabul
Easily !
No problems for these 2 countries.
Don’t post your IP here, aspecially full ip!
UK is fine :P
Reporting from Stockholm, Sweden and (asked my pal) London, England and (another pal) Hyderabad/ Bombay, India.
all good.
Cheers!

tHANKS

Hi guys,
all good from Australia
I cant access the site ATM. And i am from India.
Everything seems fine.
Malaysia.
works fine in norway.
if you have problems accessing the site go to hidemyass.com, boratproxy.com and enter demonoid.com there then you will have access to the site.
Works fine in Australia.
Works for me in the Netherlands though
Working fine from my dutch xs4all line aswell..
Works in Sri Lanka.
Ukrainian hosts are blocked from the very beginning - possibly the same reason as Canadian were blocked while the site was hosted there.
Its back here in Brazil…
at least for a while…
Personally havent been able to access Demonoid in the UK since about a week after it came back. I can see the page fine but when I try to log in I just get a blank page and that’s it. The weird thing is in the first week after it returned I was logging in, downloading and uploading without a problem…..
…by the way ukraine is blocked too:(
Denmark is just fine!
Egypt is blocked too
USA is fine. :P
Must be some kind of DNS-filtering. Demonoid.com is blocked when trying to reach it by browser. Ping isn’t blocked. Demonoid works fine with IP-address obtained from ping.
Everything is OK over here in the states guys! DONT WORRY ABOUT THE USA WERE ALL GOOD DONT EVEN WORRY BOUT US.. yeah man were tottaly good.. .. yeaaah..
Maby Demenoid is blocking everyone who isn’t a registerd member. It works perfectly here in the Netherlands.
Working fine in France
Romania blocked, it seems. Fuck Demonoid then :P
I’m from Romania and it happens to me too :(
souljazz - nope it’s not I can access it perfectly from ukraine.
As of now I’m proud of my country after reading this :)
Proxy :: http://firewallbreaker.cn/
Finland is fine.
To those affected, does this happen with OpenDNS as well? Though if this was only a matter of DNS blocks, it would affect certain providers, not entire countries….
Belgium down as well…
United Kingdom, all fine here
Everyone who is blocked should post the results from a ping/traceroute etc to try to figure out the nature of the blocking. Could be dns based, could be a script on their web-server, could be some firewall rules.
(Posting comments too quickly, slow down? WTF this is the first comment I post goddamnit.)
Guatemala can access demonoid, for now.
Demonoid used to be blocked by the government in the United Arab Emirates for like a year but they hopefully unblocked it again recently after Demonoid revival. Thank God!
I’m from the Netherlands and Demonoid kinda works for me. Sometimes it works normally. Other times I have to refresh a couple of times, but that works every time. Weird!
I can access it fine in Canada
I’ll tell you more. On the second day after going up in Ukraine, access from Ukraine itself was blocked.
From the Netherlands, I also have to refresh a couple of times before I see a page.
Works in the USA.
maybe some people that can’t access the site post some tracert’s and nslookups
in windows go into command line (Start>Run…> type ‘cmd’)
do ‘nslookup http://www.demonoid.com‘
and ‘tracert http://www.demonoid.com‘
Everything good in Ireland
Seems to be fine form Germany.
as a person who even bought the demonoid tshirt to support them , being in the Netherlands, im begging you: UNBLOCK us please :(
Unable to access the site from India:(. Only a blank page….
I’m from Brazil, and I can confirm it appears as only a blank page…
Ireland is still working fine… as it always has and always will!!

I use OpenDNS and I am sure someone is screwing with it, ‘cos there are two private torrent sites I use and they often “disappear” for about a three days on my home connection but my work connection is fine at exactly the some time. To quote the bard, “Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark.”!
I’m Dutch, and while it was blank when I loaded it today, a forced refresh solved my problems.
I’m from the Netherlands and like someone else mentioned here earlier, I see a white page after logging in but after refreshing a few times the site appears on my screen :-)
What could this mean ?
Hi guys… I’m from Romania and i’ve had the same problem, i’m using Mozilla Firefox 3…
If u right click a chose reload a couple of times, the page loads!
Hope it works for u too!
Everything works smoothly in Canada. And hope it will stay that way. Been there, done that…
Works fine in Bulgaria.
NOW IT IS INDIA. Demonoid gives out only a blank white page. Ocassionally, the torrent page as I am logged in as a member within the last 24 hrs. If I try to go to the torrent list menu, or try to hit any torrent for downloading, it returns to the white blank page again. No message in my inbox inthe site.
USA, all good.
I blame phorm… yeah, why not?
Everyone check wikileaks to see what the ISP’s are up to!
Norway: All fine!
I’m from Ukraine. Demonoid is showing me blank page since it has been moved here. I’ve tried three ISP all the same.
anyone tries that RS free premium account posted above? is it the real thing or spam?
dead for 3 weeks here in the netherlands
Demenoid is up in the Netherlands with OpenDNS set.
Fine in the UK (Scotland)
I can access demonoid allright from the netherlands…
Its ok in UK as the time i am typing now…Try with 2 ISP and its OK
I’m Dutch with UPC and pages will only load after refreshing a couple of times. No such problems when using a proxy. It’s been like this for some weeks now.
Those who can’t access demonoid should try the ip address instead: 62.149.24.66
If that works it’s definitely a dns problem.
It’s been on and off in Brazil for the past week or so.
empty page here in holland, but access possible through proxies;
important too is that the tracker is often not to be reached and only DHT enabled torrents work; so notice to people from other countries: be sure when you make your torrent to seed it DHT enabled; at other times the tracker does work fine; but regularly it seems blocked for 4 to 6 hours.
It is NOT back in Brazil. At least not for most Brazilians, and it’s been giving us this HTTP Error 500 for about a week now
siwtzerland works fine
All good from NY
Australia is working…
Palestine\Israel all good
>>Jones
62.149.24.66 doesn’t work for me (Holland.)
no Demonoid to Brazil!
Hello!
I changed my dns server (it was opendns) and violá, Demonoid is working again.
My dns is now my own machine (bind server running)
Cheers from Brazil
Changed dns but no good here
It’s been working 100% fine since it came back online in my little country called Australia.
#23:
Really? I’m from Brazil too, and Demonoid still isn’t working.
can’t access from brazil. rarely works.
works here after refreshing the page. (refresh 4 to 8 times)
everything looks good for us here on the moon
Demonoid is ok here in Brazil. My isp is Telefonica.
Everything Sweet in Poland!
Reporting from India, using the ISP called Bharti Airtel.
I have been getting the blank page on demonoid since yesterday. I tried reloading it loads of times, and the home page displayed once, but when I tried visiting the Torrents page, I got the blank white page again.
I’m from BRazil and to access Demonoid I had to switch to OperaTor and enable the privoxy thing.
singapore is fine haha
strangely enough it doesnt work in china either, for about 3 weeks to a month, i am not sure why?.the pirate bay doesnt work from here either… maybe it is the golden shield
No problems here in Taiwan.
puerto rico - working
Same here in India too, white page. Indian ISPs are generally not so conscious about these issues and hence not against these sites. Piratebay, minonova and others work fine !!
anything to do with the browser. I am on Firefox 3 since yday. Could access a month back when on FF2. Not sure if that is the issue.
Hi all. 3:20AM here at São Paulo, Brazil, no problems to use demonoid.com … it’s fine.

All clear from Isle de Muerte.

Same problem for weeks from the Netherlands. TOR solved the issue. using the IP 62.149.24.66 stil requires multiples refreshes to load.
I can’t access TNT village scambio-etico for italian music at:

So what’s new? Demonoid blocked Canadian users for almost a year before they allowed access again…
Still doesn’t working in Romania. (Just a blank page)
yeah, from brazil = blank page
:(
Guys!!!
If you reload it a couple of times, it works… :D
Hmm strange, ip address or just the domain name works here from the Netherlands, Xs4all, I have to refresh basically every page I access though, not really practical! To bad the Demonoid forum is still down.
I think it’s a site issue.
I can only access the page by refreshing the page several times
I’m from Holland.
hi all! i’m from the philippines. i tried to trace the route of servers to the site and it seems that a server outside my country can’t access the site. thus, i am blocked, too.
Yea, it’s actually a website problem, if I refresh every Demonoid page for 2-3 times everything is working fine.
Seems that they working it :)
Maintenance
We are currently performing the daily site maintenance.
We’ll be back soon
Do not click refresh. It will send you back to this page.
I’ve seen some people reporting an outage in Belgium, however it has been working fine for me. I did notice a few weeks ago i had to refresh a couple of times until the blank page switched to the demonoid page.
Here in the Netherlands I still can’t get on demonoid. ISP Wanadoo/Orange.
works ok here in canada
check your hosts file make sure that demonoids new ip isnt banned. OR on a range that is banned. I have had a simular issue.
Also if the file wont let you edit it, boot to safe mode and edit, hten reboot.
also demonoid always goes down at night for maintenacne ( so they can copy your ip sand hand over to the feds —-just kidding)
stuff like killing log files, and such.
im from the netherlands and havent been able to get to demonoid all week until yesterday. after refreshing a couple of times im able to log in. dunno what’s causing all this but its really annoying :/
Norway works fine..
Denmark is able to connect
Works from “blocked countries” if you enter demonoid.com and hit CTRL+F5 five times or more !!! I’m amazed.
Romania (from RDS & RCS)- firefox - blank page. IE gives an http 500 error (internal server error).
Works just fine if entering the IP address only.
Can’t get onto Demonoid without using a proxy :(
F@#&!CKING THING S%@CKS!
tried
http://62.149.24.66/
and it worked from Egypt
full access to demonoid from france, so no problems from here so far
This is very strange
ATM Demonoid returns a blank page, or it preforms normal (fifty-fifty)
I’d find out that when it returns a blank page the headers returns:
HTTP/1.x 500 Internal Server Error
And when It works fine the usual:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
So, I guess there’s nothing wrong with the ISP?
(Netherlands here)

I havent been able to access Demonoid for 3 weeks now. I am Brazilian. I just receive a blank page.
This surely is not an ISPs-blocking Demonoid issue. Its either a website or server issue, or else Demonoid is randomly blocking some IP ranges and allowing the same IP ranges randomly.
I know its not ISPs-blocking Demonoid because if the website is opened, then the demonoid favicon is displayed fine, but demonoid does not send any source code to the web browser, so the browser just displays a blank white page. It seems to send the source code randomly and block it randomly.
yes, pretty sure it’s a random problem, that’s why reloading the page multiple times works. Ctrl+F5 in Firefox, to do a full refresh.
I get a blank page here in Brazil.. but after a few clicks on the reload button the page loads. I have to do this every time I move between pages on the site too.
Brassen:
No DNS/Routing Problem on your side, expecially if you get the blank white page.
I know an entire pool of addresses that’s blocked by demonoid and that’s not how they do it.
I’m betting on a tech problem.
you’re getting to the site and i bet you can even access it through port 80
to check that go into command line again
type ‘ftp’ hit enter
type ‘o’ hit enter
type ‘www.demonoid.com 80′
even Romania is blocked! wtf just happened are we seeing another of those veoh incidents or the goverment from the demonoid hoster servers is trying to block acces to demonoid to slowly kill demo.?
demo should move to another countrye…
I’m Brazilian, and I think the problem is buried into the server of Demonoid itself. I can’t access demonoid PHP pages, but I CAN access it 404 page, its graphical elements, and even the a PHP that just send me the text file.
It seems to be some problem with the IP ranges from 189 to 201, whenever one of those IPs try to access a PHP file, the PHP seems to reject it.
Just and addendum to my previous post, just checked and Demonoid in intermittent again, just like it was when the problem started some weeks ago.
Just keep reloading and eventually the page will load.
Yeah.. the site showed only a blank page
But I can access it right now.. no proxies, VPN or DNS changes
I’m in Brazil o/
I’m from Belgium too and I also have the white page problem. Though, after 3 seconds of hard work, I discovered that if u just go to http://www.demonoid.com/files/, you can acces the site (refresh if it doesn’t work the first time.
Did the trick for me at least…
Grtz
didnt work here neither recent. .cc did than none did only proxy and tor etc.
now .com works again ok in nl here chello, i only need to refresh a lot :P
DARKMEiSTER
I’m from Brasil, i can access the site, but i have to refresh each page atleast 3 times to work.
If DNS is the problem, wouldn’t using OpenDNS solve it?

Free information for all.
Works here in Ecuador
Unblock and access Demonoid without using proxies
http://ji2tech.uni.cc/unblock-and-access-demonoid-without-using-proxies/
Austria: working
Everything’s peachy in Guatemala
from the Philippines:
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
firefox 3.0
instead of IP proxies (SLOW, imho). . . what about changing the DNS to a free DNS server?
http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/
wouldn’t that do that trick too - if it was being blocked by your ISP through DNS?
there’s an awful lot of hacking traffic from brazil lately…
I’m from Brazil, and it’s blocked. I can browse through a proxy but it’s just not the same! So much hassle. I’ve been blocked for about 10 or more days now.
i’m from the netherlands my provder is @home/ziggo,
no connection eather !
p.s. i hope torrentstore comes back!
http://firewallbreaker.cn
use this link to get acces to demonoid.
dirkpeter from the Netherlands.
i still have problems here in brazil, the only thing who loads here is the favicon.ico
wel if i refresh the page a few times it eventualy works for me (NL here)
Here in Brazil, it works if I keep on reloading the page. Sometimes I have to reload 10 times before I manage to load anything.
Try refreshing the browser a few times. I’m in Brazil and after a few refreshs the page opened!!
192.168.1.123 works great from Canada!
;)
It’s Back in EGYPT
it works if you refresh the page a few times
USA Still functional
The Netherlands to:
Just refresh a few times that the site will work, despite that it is undergoing some work now
yep refreshing works but is obviously very annoying
DEMONOID IS NOT BLOCKED
I’m from Brazil and Demonoid IS NOT blocked, Here it seems that have a problem with provider proxy (My ISP uses a transparent proxy) + some browsers, if you use a download tool to get index page, ex:
wget http://www.demonoid.com/
the page is downloaded correctly, but if you use Firefox, a blank page is displayed
I think that is a problem with HTTP Features like gzip compression.
Can’t access Demonoid from here from the Netherlands with Orange NL either… Tracker in utorrent works fine though and proxy’s do tooo.
Bloody anti piracy cunts, they deserve to be run over.
UPDATE:
After hittign F5 10 times, it works !
No HTTP500 error but just loads fine as usual !
Can’t acces Demonoid for 2weeks now, from Belgium, tomorrow ill try a proxy
Here in India Demonoid shows a bank page, but the pages load after refreshing a few times. It looks like a problem with Demonoid’s servers.
Cheers!
I’m from brazil, I access with IE using TOR proxy, firefox for browsing others sites, as TOR button doesn’t work well with Firefox-3.0. If I try to download a torrent from the feeds of uTorrent the answer is unable to load “…..”: HTTP error 500
people in holland use throughproxy.com and access your account demonoid can’t scan it then
greetings from amsterdam
Belgium to has been cute off
As of 22.44, 22-06-08, the Demonoid site in the Netherlands still yields naught but a blank page. My provider is Ziggo, my connection 20MBit broadband.
I’m from Brazil, still can’t access, only with VPN…
Telfort (NL) is blocking it too, but surprisingly: they’re only blocking port 80, and not my torrentport, so I can still connect with the tracker.
Guys,
Just put this link in your bookmarks and use it to visit Demonoid from now on:

Blank page here in brazil!

3proxy.com !!!
works for me(brazil)
I’m from Brazil and cannot access demonoid without a proxy server for at least 3 weeks.
Can’t enter, not even after getting RSI from hitting that refresh button. Using Demonoids IP didnt work either. Only getting a “500 error”. I’m from the Netherlands with Orange isp. But with anonymouse.org (free, no installation, but with pop-up adverts) i had no trouble getting on.
New Zealand is fine too.
not working in egypt
Yup, blank page here too, NL - XS4ALL, no proxy, both firefox and safari, same story..

grtz Dutchie
For a few weeks now, no demonoid in The Netherlands…
ISP: UPC/Chello
wil try with proxy…
wow after a few (read 10 - 20) times refresh, the site IS there (in Safari 3)
woehoe / jottum
why arent we hearing something from demonoid sys or adm?
if ya send a p.m you get no reply.
it all started when they was upgrading there servers 2 weeks ago.
so i think they blockin us for mistake.
i can access it from Beijing, China and Tokyo, Japan.
Now also from Seoul, South korea.
INDIA is blocked from Demonoid.com
Page not found from past 4 days or so.
Complete Block for INDIA
Works in U.S.
Egypt is ok i can access
Add 1 more, NOT properly finding Demonoid in INDIA!!! using FF3 ATM!
It’s back!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It fully works now, it seems they fixed the problem.
Ukraine, white page for weeks, trying two ISP
For The Netherlands the problems are fixed, so it seems….
It not accessible from INDIA.
I am also unable to access demonoid for the past couple of days. I’m from India. I tried what Mr.Prabhu said and its working fine. Thanks dude. Hope it will come back!
some problem with demonoid in Delhi, India… have to refresh page repeatedly… then only it opens. on clicking any link… goes off again
Sorry I did not say my country, in Holland it’s back!
no problems in the U.S since they came back online
I got three downloads on right now and a crap load of ziptorrent and mediadefender hits on my pg. I am not using them no more.
and also india is blocked
Brazil is OFF
If you keep refreshing eventually it appears, in Brazil. It’s a pain in the buttox to keep refreshing 53 times for each individual page, though.
Demonoid not working here in Delhi India i don’t know why?
Please do let me know about the updates you have abt the site when it will be going to work again
it’s block in India from last week,
here in holland its down again!!!!
to those in india, try refreshing the page a few times. i live in delhi and use MTNL-triband. it works after 1-2 refreshes..
to those in india, try refreshing the page a few times. i live in delhi and use MTNL-triband. it works after 1-2 refreshes.. i desperately need an invite though, so i cant download despite it opening
p.s. sorry if this is a double post.. i posted before but couldn’t see it so i posted again
Can’t access from USA either
Not accessible from Telfort in Amsterdam, blank screen but icon does show up in title bar. Refreshing a lot of times doesn’t help. Using a German proxy does help. Also accessible from my neighbours using Orange as IP !? without using a proxy, no refreshes needed.
Downloads work from any puter with/without proxy.
Down here in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, agian!!! PORRA!
In holland it was down this morning but right now it’s back again! :D I hope forever this time.
seems to now be blocked here in argentina !?
*sighs*
Still blocked in Brazil
thing is if you we’re logged in, you can probably also reach it by searching on torrent-finder.com/
go to the demonoid results page and it appears ok - if you weren’t logged, then youre screwed and vpm / proxy is only way forward
The new admin of Demonoid (Umlauf) made a post here - http://fora.demonoid.com/index.php?topic=220.msg3765#msg3765
The admin said “We do not know the cause yet. Have been looking into it for a few days now.”
It’s real strange, here in Brazil, I cannot access almost full time, sometimes I can access the page normally. Another thing, I get the feed rss normally too.
still blocked:

I can access feeds and error pages(demonoid.com/foobar) but not the valid ones.
I’m from BRAZIL, and I can’t access this site! DAMN, I had a perfect 1.0 ratio, with 47 GB upload…Now i’ll have to use proxies.
It gives a HTTP 500 Error.
THIS doesn’t work to stop piracy. You’ve just blocked one country out of various that use it as well. Cut the snake in the head, not the body…
PS: Thanks for the article, really relieved me.
I too am having issues with demonoid as after the log in page i get only blank white page though after number of reloads i am able to browse the torrents .I have no idea what is wrong as evrthing else is wrking fine except demonoid……
And by the way i am in India ,
Brazil is downnnnnnn
Brazil is still blocked
Demonoid in Brazil is intermitent. Most of the times shows blank page.
I’m from Brazil and it’s been three weeks already since I last got to access Demonoid. I keep trying everyday to see if the bug was fixed, but there seems to be no solution.
I’m from Brazil too and there’s no news about the situation. Since last days of June I can’t acess Demonoid (only by proxy). Is it really a bug or…?
Thanks ICE your link works great Keep up the good work mate cheers !!!
Unfortunately, some friends in Brazil informed me today that continues the blockade of the server Demonoid. It would be a mistake in the server configuration of the site, as they says, or the blocking part of their own Internet servers? Yet the question remains…
nope its not working here in india
My connection is fine again here in the Netherlands, but when I can’t access Demonoid I use this proxy http://www.466452.com/
If that doesn’t work try http://proxy.org/
Just tried to access the Demonoid forum (http://www.demonoid.com/forum_c.php) it only works by proxy.
(same proxy as I mentioned in my previous post)
Works perfects from the UK.
Hi Dim, I used the proxy you suggested and Demonoid loaded just fine for the first time since last june. Thank you so much and I would like if you can suggest where I can find more information about this proxy thing. And by the way, I am in Brazil. Thanks again.
I’m in Brazil, and about a month ago it was possible for me to access Demonoid by refreshing (F5) pages some 4 or 5 times.
Then it stopped to work…
So I started to use http://www.webwarper.net - and Demonoid was accessible again.
Then it stopped to work…
Now I’m using http://www.surf-proxy.de/ - and it works perfectly (at least for now…).
Thanks for the tips Sam. Where are you in Brazil?
SP, SP.
I live in Belgium and my provider Dommel has banned Demonoid as well !
Can’t access here from Brazil either… for quite some time now, maybe a couple of weeks, or more. Blank Page on Firefox and HTTP 500 error on IE. A friend of mine though, can do it with his Mac, only a few blocks away from my house … weird.
thats really odd. i’m from brazil and my ISP give me dynamic ip. When I receive one 189.x.x.x i have acces to all pages from demonoid, but when I receive one 201.x.x.x i can’t access home page, download torrents or view the forum. but again, i can access feeds and 404 pages(demonoid.com/foobar)
yup no access from India..looks like an ISp nexus here..
well demonoid seems to blocked in INDIA too,indians too are in the torrenting community,its about freedom of speech and expression!!! whatever problem demonoid seems to be having i pray it comes out clean!!
Same here in INDIA,
Can’t access Demonoid for about 3 weeks now without foreign proxy
I can’t access the site from the last few days, 3 days to be exact and have to use a foreign proxy and can inform that I have used France and HongKong proxies and they all work. altough the HK one is very slow.
Its been 3 weeks since this article was posted n we seriously want some updates on it from TF ppl.. I mean really wats going on wid demonoid these dayz , is it tech issues or legal issues or wattt ???
I have been a demonoid user for a 3 yrs since last 3 days i am getting a blank white screen when i type in the address. Is demonoid down or am i just blocked. i am from India on Airtel network.
Demonoid’s inaccessible in India as well. Just to let you know…
Hi this is the second response of mine here from India.Apparently this week on i just get blank white page on Demonoid. No use even after reloading the site.I Firefx 3.
So India is down for Demonoid.
The Netherlands our down again aswell, foreign proxy like TOR still work
Demonoid down since three weeks here in Bangalore, India. Earlier i used to refresh the web page frequently to show up on screen, now its shows a blank white page which pissed me off.
I doubt that this could be an ISP issue as members from other countries experience the same dilemma. No official notification for Demonoid either. I smell a rat here!
I am a Rogers user in Canada and the site has been down since July 10th or so.
I am from India the site has been down for 10 days
India blocked..
seems to be like internal 500 erroe and a blank page
blocked here in INDIA too
Everything in Dhaka- Bangladesh is 100% Fine…Hopefully Demonoid and all users hopefully can get back online using Demonoid…
Good Luck and hope to c u all back on Demonoid!
icesteed
(Demonoid User)
Am from New Delhi, India. Seems like demonoid’s back here. Am on bharti broadband n noticed that it’s back after quite some weeks. :) :) :)
Wat bout other countries ??
I’m in Brazil… just found out demonoid was working almost everywhere but here WTF!!
Can our ISP legally block demonoid.com? (in my case NetVirtua)??
Belgium still blocked …
blocking is located at the demonoid server !
In Brazil it is not working. When this all begun pressing F5 some times would eventually load the page, but the site was pretty useless in this way. But now the page does not load at all. All one gets is the favicon and a blank page.
This is happening with all ISPs here in Brazil, so the possibility of a specific ISP block can be discarded.
I’m really clueless why this is happening.

One easy way I found to access Demonoid from Brazil is via http://www.hotspotshield.com
just download, install, launch and bingo!
Demonoid is not working in Tamilnadu, INDIA
From Belgium, with NO Demonoid, plz help
Demonoid is NOW working in INDIA.
Hi guys i mensioned a while back you could use a website proxy , i have found after using it a couple of times you either have to pay or it cant access it anymore.
So i was looking for a new option to access the website because here in holland there is no access what so ever. it’s a program called Ultrasurf 8.9. you dubbleclick the program it runs straight away installs in ie7 without a problem it is mega fast you won’t believe it.
And yes i have been to 4 different websites to check my ip and no success. I must say if you use mozilla or any other browser goto network settings and add proxy 127.0.0.1 done. But i downloaded the file from demonoid.com so if you need to access the file first. http://tproxy.guardster.com/proxy.php/333034303000e18c9292022b7dfdf2f272bd94d4dcfcbcfccc14bde4fc5cfdb4cc9cd462fd94d492c4cc9c627d435323233373437d634b430b23137d00
Is there anyway of accessing demonoid that does not involve installing shady software/browser plugins?
Hey Me_IS_Be, how do you know that the block originates at the demonoid server?
i use OPENDNS (www.opendns.com) and demonoid load just fine from Brazil
Works fine with me.
Egypt.
Not possible to access from Brazil using almost all provider. Some (few) are still working
People reported they found the problemin in the Netherland. (when access to demonoid is traced from Brazil it stops there)
They found the problem?
Great.
Now to the solution…
Well, I can’t access it in Australia now. It’s not just my computer this has happened on a couple. Anyone else just getting a php?error_id=2 message?
Same for me 2 in belgium..
Still not working in Brazil
doesn’t work in japan
w00t
Doesn’t work for Brazil indeed.
Fine here in the Philippines.
I’m getting the same php?error_id=2 message from multiple computers in the US
No Demonoid for me, just a blank page. I'm from Brasil - Rio de Janeiro
And here in Brazil I keep the same blank page.
Cannot access in Canada :(
I'm blocked in Australia now.
I can get thru to demonoid as unregistered using anonymous proxies but as soon as I log in with the old username and password I am blocked even using anonymous proxy.
hmmm I can seem to access it and I'm in the USA
Doesnt work, Norway.
Damn
Is anyone else having trouble accessing demonoid now?
Not good from Poland; The tracker side of it seems to be down, too
Down to here, The Netherlands :(. Lets hope its just a little serverside problem…
hope it's not a repeat of last time and only temporary!
Demonoid is back up and running!
