Default Demonoid Down

Demonoid is a BitTorrent tracker website. It was apparently set up by an anonymous Yugoslav known only as Deimos. The website indexes torrents uploaded by its members. These torrents can then be searched and the content shared using the peer to peer BitTorrent protocol.

Demonoid is one of the largest BitTorrent trackers and its torrents are found on other BitTorrent search engines.

Demonoid has been down and the constant rumor is that Demonoid is out of business.

Demonoid is now back with this message on the front page:

"Downtime

We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and we need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this.

Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience."

So it appears Canadians will no longer have access to Demonoid.

one of the few countries in the world where downloading is demonstrably legal and they can't access a tracker.

Looks like maybe Demonoid has finally closed it doors for good this time?

This is what’s posted on their site:

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.

From their IRC channel....

Quote:
Site is down, tracker is intermittent (sometimes up, sometimes down), No Current ETA is known. That is all we know...DON'T ASK | Alternate forums at www.demonoiders.com. Expect the site to return, unless we hear otherwise from Deimos.
