Demonoid is Dead!
Demonoid.com Wrote: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.

DownloadSquad Wrote:In what appears to be a continuing trend, popular BitTorrent site Demonoid, has shut down. Again. On November 9, 2007, the site went dark, displaying nothing more than a cryptic message that seems to say, "the fuzz turned up the heat on our landlord and wee had to bail."
It's a sad, sad day for file sharers. Oh wait, that was October 23, when the really awesome site was shut down. Or the first time Demonoid was hit (a few years ago), or back in June, or when the servers went crazy, or when they killed Canadian access...
Not to minimize the pain, but wee think many people expected this. The only mainstream public torrent site brazen enough to boastfully do its thing is The Pirate Bay. In the past six months alone, Demonoid, ISOHunt (and all the sites/trackers hosted by ISOHunt), OiNK, and Torrentspy have either shut-down or become crippled to the point of being unusable. This all comes nearly three-years after the first major torrent site, Suprnova.org, shut its doors in December 2004.
Perhaps a proper memorial is in order. Wee at DownloadSquad, call for November 10, 2007 to stand as the "BitTorrent Day of Mourning."

RE: Demonoid is Dead!
^ DDL is better lolz...not just good. but it uses up way more storage as torrents is shared around users.
lolz, torrents.... doesn't matter if a site closes, there is always better ones out there...

RE: Demonoid is Dead!
This is a real pain in the @rse. I was a member at demonoid and i joined because people actually seeded instead of leaching then removing the torrent and because when you downloaded from there you felt safer as any fake or infected torrents were removed. Big loss for torrent users.
