all I have to say is... NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Just saw where the site went down myself. I am trying to think of what I need to grab while some torrent sites are still up and running. AT least we still have Empornium and Cheggit.
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. Damn, damn, damn!!!
http://torrentfreak.com/demonoid-shuts-down-again-071109/ It’s been just over 6 weeks since the CRIA allegedly shut down the Demonoid BitTorrent tracker. Details were scarce at the time, with lots of people simply claiming the site had some technical or server issues. Indeed, TorrentFreak came in for quite some criticism when we claimed the CRIA was involved, but when the site returned there were some ominous signs which seemed to support our claims. Eventually, the Demonoid trackers reappeared, followed by the site itself but was forced to block Canadian visitors by the CRIA. However, despite blocking Canadians, it seems the CRIA hasn’t yet had enough of harassing Demonoid and its host. On Demonoid.com we now read: “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.” Indeed, Demonoid’s host had previously said that if it had any major hassle, it was likely it could pull the plug on the site. A message on the Demonoid IRC channel says: “Site is down, tracker is up. Expect the site to return, unless we hear otherwise from Deimos.” Canada seems to becoming more unfriendly for BitTorrent sites - Demonoid aren’t the only ones being threatened by the recording labels there.
Build a better mousetrap, the other side just builds a better mouse. Cut off one head, two more grow back in it's place.
Oh crap. At least I've already picked up all the major stuff I wanted so far. At this rate, it looks like I might need to figure out this newsgroup stuff as an option.
getting with newsgroups is the best thing i've done on the internet! sure you have to pay but you get just about everything that comes on torrents plus much more at MAX speeds. Also depending on the service retention, files are stored on server for up to 120 days. Best 14.95 per month I've ever spent.
I haven't bothered to google yet, but does anyone know of a good torrent site for books? Demonoid always had some cool stuff on there.
