I can make a torrent with my isp and ports open, and publish the torrent in a forum like here.. people can do whatever they want..

The tracker is still running (don't ask me how), but because the web site is down no one new will be joining. Eventually your peers will get fewer and fewer, so the slower dl speeds. When Demonoid comes back online, you'll get new peers. Demonoid-User asks “My torrents are active, so the rate are sslllowly, do they keep slow until they finally disspear?”

TorrentFreaks is the only site to carry news of this. I googled and checked news and found nothing. Check the later story: Good to know it will be back. I uploaded 4Gb on the last day I guess I won't get credit for, but so long as the downloaders enjoyed it I'm happy anyway :-) Take advantage of the downtime to organize your files and say to wife: "Honey I spend too much time on demonoid, but damn it, tonight we're hitting the town!" :-) Peace be with you Demon Lord! :-)

I find a friggin' reference to this demonoid problem somewhere! Amazing that with google news and all the rest of it, nowhere could I find anything about why demonoid was not responding. Until I thought to check my rss feeds and then saw this! OOPS. Hehe. I would have thought it would be a leading story just by the fact that a lot of blogs would carry it but now..nothing. Twats. anyway I also thought my ISP had blocked me. I did the pings and saw the tracker was responding so I had to conclude that my ISP had blocked demonoid on port 80 or HTTP or something. So while I am sort of glad to find out the truth, it hurts. My favourite site...surely this cannot happen. Can it? At last!! I find a friggin’ reference to this demonoid problem somewhere!
