Now Demonoid seems to be having problems of their own:
The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

In the other thread I had a post about how great Demonoid was for content and their semi-private status but edited out when I found that Demonoid went basically public, the search system was even publically accessible. This was done I guess get more traffic, more ad revenue, and to turn the Demonoid into a social network torrent site. Demonoid had some great stuff too that I was meaning to get. :(

Another torrent site went down last week that was also public: Oink. I was sorta hoping Oink's content would migrate over to Demonoid but not now. Last December, Oink.cd a ratio free holiday where only your uploads was counted for your ratio. It's where I downloaded my Death Row's Christmas Album from. :XD:

Supposedly the Demonoid tracker is still responding on limited ports. I predict the site will return, under a different server much the same way the Pirate Bay did awhile back.

Demonoid Shuts Down Again
Written by Ernesto on November 09, 2007

Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers, was forced to go offline again because the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) threatened their ISP.


It’s been just over 6 weeks since the CRIA allegedly shut down the Demonoid BitTorrent tracker. Details were scarce at the time, with lots of people simply claiming the site had some technical or server issues. Indeed, TorrentFreak came in for quite some criticism when we claimed the CRIA was involved, but when the site returned there were some ominous signs which seemed to support our claims.

Eventually, the Demonoid trackers reappeared, followed by the site itself but was forced to block Canadian visitors by the CRIA. However, despite blocking Canadians, it seems the CRIA hasn’t yet had enough of harassing Demonoid and its host.

On Demonoid.com we now read:

“The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.”

Indeed, Demonoid’s host had previously said that if it had any major hassle, it was likely it could pull the plug on the site.

A message on the Demonoid IRC channel says: “Site is down, tracker is up. Expect the site to return, unless we hear otherwise from Deimos.”

Canada seems to becoming more unfriendly for BitTorrent sites - Demonoid aren’t the only ones being threatened by the recording labels there.
