Demonoid is down, any good alternative sites?

awdrifter · June 28th, 2007, 3:48 PM

Just read this new on another forum. Looks like I need to look for a new site.

In perfect union with the Dutch law BREIN has issued a friendly memo to Demonoid.com's ISP (internet service provider) asking them to take the site offline and cease the spread of some 170,000 links to torrents, most of them leading to illegal content.

"Dutch anti-piracy movement", my eye. The MAFIAA is behind this, no doubt.

We had a system problem which will force us to restore everything from backup.
The disks are pretty much empty right now and until we are able to upload the backup and set up everything up, we have to close down.

We.ll be back as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We were planning on returning online in the next few hours - probably tomorrow afternoon. But due some recent events, and following the advice of a lot of you, we will make a few more changes that might take a few days longer. As always, thanks for you continued support and patience. For the ones wondering, the timing of the downtime was coincidental.

Edit: We are currently performing some changes to the servers. Complete blackouts are to be expected.

The tracker is still working, I've got some torrents still open and they still work fine, just can't access the webpage. I think this article is a load of shit to be honest.

July 1

There was a delay with our new hardware that pushes the site return for Wednesday.
The Forums are now back online though.

From today. The forums are back online. Looks like the article lies.

I never use it anyway. I always use mininova, piratebay, isohunt, etc.

awdrifter · July 2nd, 2007, 7:14 AM

I mainly use Demonoid and Mininova for English stuff. The Piratebay doesn't have a lot of the stuff I want.

I heart Demonoid for most stuff....

demonoid gets me all the documentaries that i cant find or are unreasonably slow elsewhere. I also feel a tad bit safer w/ them it seems like a good community

Demonoid is always my first stop when I'm looking for something. They have a good variety and good options to narrow down searches so you can find what you're looking for. The comments people leave seem pretty accurate and save wasted time and hassle on bad torrents.

Demonoid is back

Still working on this

Just got back online

Please restart your bittorrent client!

More later

Edit: We are getting thousands of new visitors which is causing the servers to overload. We are disabling a few of the site features to help the situation, but we'll probably need to order faster hardware, so it might be a few days until everything resolves.

I guess it would be slow, but I accessed the website just fine.
