is demonoid dead?

[dogmatique]

Yep...? Strange how Demonoid's servers still respond, and there's been no word from anyone... That and everyone panning TorrentFreak for telling porkies...

They're usually pretty reliable. Any other suggestion?

Wikipedia says :

A semi-official statement was released approximately 18 hours after the site went offline:

Ok folks, here it is. Demonoid is down. It has been for aroun 18 hours. The reason is down is unkown. It hasnt been RAIDed, shutdown, terminated, deleted, burned, mamed, or thrown under a bridge. There have been speculation as demonoid.com whereabouts. Well the rurmors are false...

And perhaps the Demonoid IRC channel...?

Not really... Though I find not everything written on blogs is to be trusted, especially not the murky + unreliable world of trackers...

 

[Elvis Parsley]

yay! it's back

boo to those nasty canadians

 

[mhendo]

It's still timing out for me.

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.

Sounds 6 of one and half of 12 of the other...

 

[rubbershoes]

i'm back in

 

[Elvis Parsley]

The latest changes to the site are giving us some problems - We'll be back soon

i guess we shouldn't expect a normal service for now

[jæd]

It *is* back

 

[mhendo]

Yep, up and running just as good as new.

 

[Dubversion]

it's gone again. maybe for good?

 

[Rogue]

The message sounds fairly ominous.

 

[Crispy]

Servers need relocating somewhere that's not Canada, I guess.

[kyser_soze]

Can someone send me some invites to these private trackers please?

 

[Structaural]

I've got a demonoid one...

 

[kyser_soze]

Already got Demonoid bt thanks for the offer, and TBH it's not much faster than public torrents. I've got UKNova which IS quick up to about a megs total bandwidth...

 

[Structaural]

twas only a joke, nah I can invite you to a pretty good Mac site - but Demonoid IS my private tracker.

 

[dlx1]

[kained&able]

Demonoid.com down

Shit! Demonoid was great.

Just logged in and got the following message:

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.

About month ago they blocked traffic from Canada because of legal threats, so I don't know whether this message is just for the UK or whether they are down completely.
