Hi - Is anyone a registared user?

I just tried to join but it states that registration is closed unless you have an invite from an already registared user??

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Been on there for donkeys - you basically need to be invited by an already registered used, and also when they have opened up registration for a specific period of time - which isn't now unfortunately

Isohunt is almost as good as a stop-gap.

mininova seems pretty good as well, lots of demonoid tags as well, lots of weird and hard to find stuff as well, not just films

Demonoid is now offline due to the CFRA threating their server provider with legal action

What's it got to do with the Centre For Rural Affairs?

Ok, the CRIA (Centre for Rehabilitating Injured Animals) then

I found it last night when planning to look for the latest episode of top gear (I need my weekly fix while living abroad)

When you load it up you get confronted with the message of "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".

The same thing happened awhile ago and it took them nearly a week to come back from it.

I guess they'll just move the servers about again and once again hide.

I've been a member since 2005 I noticed last night. I didn't realise how long it had been.

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.
