Demonoid Tracker Is Back, Will the Site be Next?

torrentfreak.com — It has been three months since the popular (semi)private BitTorrent tracker Demonoid went offline. Since then, there has been a lot of speculation about its future, and many feared that the site would never return. Totally out of the blue, however, the tracker is now responding again.

  • n0c0ntr0l, on 02/19/2008, -8/+330Finally I can get all the rare stuff again. This is the best news I've heard in ages. Demonoid had some stuff that was impossible to find anywhere else. I wonder if they had taken up the piratebay's offer though.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 02/19/2008, -3/+189Lord Demonoid, riiiiiiiiiiiise.
  • lunigma, on 02/19/2008, -19/+141Does this mean there is a god?!

    Praise him!

  • exYU, on 02/19/2008, -4/+107Arise oh demonoid from the depths of torrent hell and bring forth my comic book torrents i miss so much.

  • pastasauce, on 02/19/2008, -1/+81Not only that, but it was nearly impossible to search on mininova or similar sites and get a torrent that didn't use the Demonoid tracker only.
  • wannymahoots, on 02/19/2008, -2/+80Lets hope the site (and contents) follows.
  • Jaliyl, on 02/19/2008, -6/+79Damn you, you beat me to it. But I still have this.

  • Junkyardjim, on 02/19/2008, -5/+68it's like when the green ranger on power rangers would blow his flute and make the giant dragonzord rise from the bottom of the ocean...


    hey wait... has anyone ever thought that maybe the green zord was the one cutting all the underwater internet cables? ya, i just blew your mind!
  • fbmdeth, on 02/19/2008, -4/+66are you ***** kidding me? I deleted all my saved demonoid torrents last night.
  • kurupttek, on 02/19/2008, -3/+59This made my day for sure
  • inactive, on 02/19/2008, -1/+54you're right. but copies are fantastic :)
  • DiggLive, on 02/19/2008, -1/+46Yarr matey, where do I sign up?
  • themastersb, on 02/19/2008, -3/+42I hope if it does come back they still have the stats of everyone saved still.
  • nunofgs, on 02/19/2008, -3/+41WE LOVE YOU DEMONOID.
    *LIFTS SHIRT*
  • Barbosa, on 02/19/2008, -0/+37I must say I don't feel safe about this either.
  • FLarsen, on 02/19/2008, -9/+46Are you stupid?
  • nekochan, on 02/19/2008, -3/+40isn't pirateology a spinoff of pastafarianism?
  • djbon2112, on 02/19/2008, -1/+34Yet.
  • bioskope, on 02/19/2008, -3/+35Malaysia it seems is the Sealand of choice for Demonoid.
  • Rejuevie, on 02/19/2008, -11/+41This could be the best news today...well unless Barack sweeps Wisconsin and Hawaii.
  • zebbers, on 02/19/2008, -0/+27Demonoid.com is indeed registered in malaysia. Confimed by whois and netcraft.
  • nekochan, on 02/19/2008, -0/+27no, polar opposites. one is all for free stuff, and the other is charging you $1000 to clear the thetans from your pool.
  • badenglishihave, on 02/19/2008, -0/+27P.S. sorta
  • stonebear, on 02/19/2008, -0/+26"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! And since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale!"
  • NickMilne, on 02/19/2008, -3/+26Will we Canucks still be turned away at the door, though? That would suck, and our winters are famously cold.
  • zetec, on 02/19/2008, -7/+28Hmmm. I loved Demonoid. But I'm afraid I just can't trust them now. It's like if your drug dealer got busted, then is back out on the streets within a week. Did he get a short sentence or did he plea bargain to set up a sting? Is it a set-up or is this legit? I'll reserve my judgment until some time has passed.
  • artofwar420, on 02/19/2008, -3/+24They had good *****. Glad they're back.
  • DharmaTurtle, on 02/19/2008, -2/+21"A 23 year-old male from Portugal (PT) who joined Digg on July 29th, 2005"

    Um.... please, lower it.
  • byttle, on 02/19/2008, -1/+18Since the site went down and all....do they still have our user info or are we going to have to sign up again?
  • spargett, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17Yeah, the QUALITY of the torrents was a standard I haven't seen anywhere else. I can't believe the state of some ***** I download. You almost always know that you're getting a well thought out and compiled download from there.

    No something I can say about the ***** of Mininova and Pirate Bay. They're like the Myspace and YouTube of torrents.
  • grapfx, on 02/19/2008, -0/+15YOU....OFF TEH INTERNETS!
  • MusicalGenius, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14Demonoid was the only site I used. All these other sites are pure garbage. The ones which are somewhat doable are still half crap at minimum. I haven't found ONE single method which has replaced what a loss Demonoid is.
  • owenkun, on 02/19/2008, -0/+14Yes, it's exactly like this.
  • owenkun, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13It's possible you were still getting things via DHT.
  • noooooop, on 02/19/2008, -11/+24***** YEAH, DEMONOID!
  • wukillabee, on 02/19/2008, -11/+24Neither are you, douche.
  • PlayWithFire, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13you could actually read the title
    the TRACKER is back online, not the site
  • sindex, on 02/19/2008, -4/+17NOOOOOOOOOoooooo!
    (a single word that destroyed everything my favorite childhood villian was)
  • Homes223, on 02/19/2008, -3/+16Yes!
  • vfreak2, on 02/19/2008, -1/+13This to me shows resilience (and relentlessness) in the torrent community.
  • nekochan, on 02/19/2008, -2/+13i'll do my part to help that along.

    (WI, gonna vote later)
  • BobOki, on 02/19/2008, -3/+14They had some of the highest quality torrents available, and a great selection for us mac users.
  • moush, on 02/19/2008, -1/+12Superiority complex much?
  • kangorillas, on 02/19/2008, -1/+11Never even thought about that :|
