The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 30 September, 2007
Demonoid is finally back online after a week of downtime in which rumors swirled that the tracker was taken down by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). Although the rumors proved to be somewhat true, the tracker and website are still being hosted on a Canadian ISP but now must block all Canadian traffic.
A note on the Demonoid homepage had this to say, "We received a letter ... [ read the full article ]

+1 here!
I did get in on the 2nd try (after re-entering password and typing in the anti-robot code) so looks like the IDs are still good to go.
Of course, I've used a US-based proxy.
I changed my email addy to a web-based one.
... and I'm now from Antigua (where SlySoft lives), just have to drop the "eh?" from the end of my sentences, LOL.
Also, should I need a "Plan B", I've also created me an invite code.
CRIA, (insertsomenastyexpletiveshere)!!!

OK,
To all canadains out there that want to do on demonoid but can't here's how I did it. Step 1. go to proxy.org and pick a proxy site (look for 4proxy.com - I am currently using this one with no problem). now after it takes you to it's site type in www.demonoid.com in the blank space where it asks for your URL. This should take you to demonoid home page, from there type in your username and acces code ( dont be afraid if it says that there is an error) if an error has occured there will be a small screen asking you to type in you username and password once again... do this and enter the number at the bottom. This should bring you back to full status, I would suggest changing you country of origin (better to be safe than sorry). Oh and if you have the option to add favorites to your keyboard, use the URL from above so that next time your only one push of a button to the greatest website for file-sharing. If this dos'nt work for ya go to ... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/566087
there is a little more info there that might get ya going again.

Got the same message. Is this for the canadian's or is proxy that belongs to someone that got banned from the forums. I miss the forums the most because I got a lot of help there. Give a site that has a better forum and I will switch.You ask for uploads and also the b3est part is check out people's torrent's.

When The Cria Provides a Good Product I may just purchase a CD. I refuse to purchase a CD At 20.00 which is only a rehash of the previous CD by a particular group with only 1 or 2 new tracks (songs). When the CRIA starts providing value for their customers dollars, They can talk about Piracy. Till then I, for one, will talk about FRAUD.

Yeah, I can't get into forums either but I get a different "explanation" for it. It says:
PLEASE NOTE: Your demonoid account and the forum account are SEPARATE. To access the forums, you need to register again.
As long as I can get to the torrents, I'll live without the forums! Maybe one day when I have nothing else to do, I'll waste some of my time creating another account; til then, feck it!

This has been the same for several years now...nothing new...your account to "access" the torrents and your account to join the forums have always been separate...and this is a good thing! I don't know what to think about a member who..on the one hand praises Demonoid as being the "end all...be all" must have torrent site to have access to...then freaks out and blasts the site over something totally simple as a separate registration for the forum.

I think their User agreement covers their Asses Completely and they Caved to a very idle and weak threat from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) most likely... This is a Sad Day for Us All, especially us as One of the Major contributors to Demonoid. Yes we can freely access the Demonoid website sitting here in Canada which did nothing to prevent us from Downloading Freely yet renders our constant contributions to our favourite site completely unrewarding for us as our IP addresses are now masked by TOR and Privoxy so our ratios will not reflect or efforts and therefore we will not bother? I guess the last year?s 500 GB of uploading new releases will allow us to freely download anything we want for a long time until our ratio drops to nill and we are booted off? All we can say to those in other countries who think this doesn?t affect them? THINK AGAIN!!! Not only do you loose out on our huge percentage of uploads, we will now be boycotting uploading in general and becoming what we have despised the most over the years? A hit and run leacher? NO POINT TO UPLOAD !!! So we implore you, contact Demonoid and vent your furry and frustration with their pathetic and selfish actions in folding to an unenforceable threat while living in the country that is now Harbouring their spineless persons!!! We ask you remind them of this user agreement which protects them, as your country may be next and before long these chicken s#!% jellyfish administrators will have no place to run to!!!
Fellow Canadians? Here is the best work around for accessing Demonoid:
Step 1: Download Firefox Browser from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Step 2: Install Firefox (this will be the browser you use to search and download from demonoid) if you don?t want to get firefox, Internet Explorer will work fine it just doesn?t have the on/off button for IP blocking installed right into the browser and you will have to manually configure the browser to run with the application in used in step 3
Step 3: Get the bundle from http://www.vidalia-project.net/download.php
Get the Latest Vidalia Release (26-August-2007) by looking under Stable Bundles and download the one that says 0.0.14 (sig) if you have windows
Step 4: Install to the default directory it asks you to and include all of the recommended programs (there are 4 in total and they all work together)
Step 5: Restart your computer and you will see some options in the toolbar near the clock, one that looks like a green piece of Garlic (TOR) and another that is a blue circle with a ?P? inside it (Privoxy) and you can turn both of these on and off at will from here when you want to go on demonoid.
Step 6: If you chose to use firefox you should see in the bottom right corner of the browser an indication on whether or not TOR is running, you can toggle this on and off. If you don?t see the ?TORbutton? in the bottom right corner of firefox see: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2275 and click ?install now?.
Note if you chose to use Internet Explorer instead, you will have to configure it, to view install instructions for windows see: http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-win32.html
Step 7: Go to: www.demonoid.com and sign in, this whole process will slow down your browsing as everything you see is being bounced off a volunteer server but you now have access, we suggest you go into your account and change your country listing from ?Canada? to another country (like Sweden, or Norway, or maybe USA?) as who knows if they will delete the accounts listed as Canadian !!! Enjoy downloading only as uploading we do not believe will be reflected in your ratio? eventually you will get booted off for a low share ratio unless you currently have a very good ratio to play with for a while.
If anyone knows of a better work around other that logging into a proxy server every time, please share.

No need for the invite.
They have one good policy. Every month they open up the registration for may be 2-3 days. Keep trying & you WILL get lucky.
That is how I registered.

Yeah, but if you have a invite code, you don't have to wait for those 2-3 days.

let's see - Invites to private sites
Requesting for or offering invites to private sites (such as private torrent trackers or similar private P2P sites) is not allowed. This rule has been requested by several private site administrators, and we honor their request. (Penalty: 2 day ban)

There is another - unrelated - "by invitation only" thing that made sense & made google so popular.
Up until recently google mail was by invitation only. Initially they sent out invites to their own known circles each of who had 100 invites available to them. The pyramid scheme continued but theoretically they could trace each and every account holder. You could practically be sure that no mail from any google account was spam or virus ridden. 2 major shortcomings of then popular free mail providers - Yahoo & Hotmail.
You can see the results.

In addition to the great proxy info from LILBUCK
NEW PROXY UPDATE EVERYDAY
http://www.boy.us.com/proxylist.php.
Fake IP Address
When you connect to a web site, it can see your IP address as the "Remote IP" or "Remote Address". When you surf through a proxy server, these fields contain the IP address of the proxy server instead of your own IP address. So the web site will see the address of the proxy instead of your actual address.But all non-anonymous proxies usually put the IP addresses of their clients (i.e. of the computers using those proxies) in either of the two following request headers (variables): "HTTP_CLIENT_IP" or "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR_IP" There are no strict standards, so one proxy may be sending the IP with "Client_IP" variable and another with "X_Forwarded_For_IP".
There is not much difference between them but they are never used together - either one or the other.So, if the proxy you are using is not anonymous, the web site will be able to see you true IP address in one of these fields.Requests that are generated by anonymous servers do not have these fields (that's what makes them anonymous).The thing is that you can set A4Proxy to create these fields, and put there "fake" IP addresses (they are generated as random numbers, so they are different for each request).
As the result, the web site which you are visiting will "think" that you are visiting it through a non-anonymous proxy server (while in fact it is a truly anonymous server with an additional fake field generated by A4Proxy). Not all web sites will look for these fields (Client_IP or X_Forwarded_For_IP). However, those which do look for them will definitely be confused as the fake IP address will be different for each request.It may be a good idea to switch on one of these options (and it is not important which one).Finally, if you want a particular address to be sent to the web site in one of that field, you will need to create a modification for that field on the Browser Options tab, in addition to enabling the appropriate Simulate... option.
Because this application listing could be considered by some as spam I'm not linking to a download.. you need to google it..
Here is a listing for people worried that it may be malware http://www.auditmypc.com/process/a4proxy.asp
If you try it let us know how it goes.

Demonoid's Admin(s) are very weak to crumble
They should take lessons from Pirate Bay's Admin
Demonoid was my best torrent site but now since they blocked all of
CANADA, it's going down like the TWIN TOWERS
I'm CANADIAN & @#$%'in PROUD
It make me want to create my own TORRENT SITE
& KICK SUM AZZ
No Lawyer from any country would get to me.
