I was kind of wondering where they went, well I have the feeling this isn't the end of Demonoid. They will figure out somthing.

this is just a RUMOR
i think the source was their IRC, but the demonoid staff said one of their website HDD's crashed..something like that, and that it'd be a few days to get her up and running again

Yeah, I have also heard that Sweden is a safehaven for torrent trackers. Im sure there are other safehavens as well. Hopefully its just a hard drive crash. Long live Demonoid!

Hopefully it is just a broken HD.
Say a little prayer for demonoid all.

The key word most people seems to be missing is "allegedly."

It's bad if it goes, but we have to remember something else will come along. There's a new type of internet coming soon that will succeed Broadband, speeds will be faster, etc.
Who knows what new P2P methods will come? All I know is, there is ALWAYS a new P2P software/site/method that comes along and there always will.
They will never stop it.
But I just love Demonoid so much because it has EVERYTHING (Except porn, but who cares, that's everywhere?) !!!

Hmmmm, it's been a few days now.
I hope they get back up and running soon.......otherwise I'll just have to use one of the other several hundred (thousand?) torrent sites out there.
Picking on the more 'high-profile' torrent sites is nothing more than posturing, they aren't stopping a thing.
All this type of idioic counter-productive posing does is harden the resolve of the sharers.

What a bummer. I've been a member of the demonoid community for years, and this is a serious blow....And yes, there are other torrent sites out there, but none of them regulated the torrent quality like demonoid. It also served as a community for people to exchange ideas and requests, and to educate people on how to properly rip, encode, and up various forms of media.

There is a post on the other thread that is linked by creaky saying that there is a server drive down and they are working to fix it. It should be back in about 3 days....around 9/29 or 9/30. This info is from a member here who apparently knows some info from IRC. I hope this is correct, and the CRIA hype is a myth.

Is this the end of another era for Demonoid?. Is this the end which sweet bliss fails, and vegetates to the never ending horror?
Well, if may be, I had been a user for at least two years, and it will be disappointing, to say the least. I found the torrent site, to be very useful, and accommodating :(
Thanks.
