    Default Re: Demonoid? is there a problem?

    I find it odd that Demonoid would pull the site completely for upgrading and maintenance. It is usually their policy to 1) announce downtime in advance and 2) at least leave a redirect or brief info page stating that the site is down for maintenance.

    A sudden disappearance is out of character and hints at legal trouble.

    Let’s hope it IS just a tech issue.

    Some of the trackers are still working, of sorts. I started downloading a torrent at the beginning of the week, and it's still working. Not very fast and some of the files aren't available as the seeders can't get back on, but it is on. I'm thinking with the threat of it going legal maybe I should stop it!

    No problem anymore...unless you live in Canada:

    Downtime

    We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and we need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this.

    Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.

    Latest info from there website...........

    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.

    Therefore I presume that Demonoid is down until a new home is found.

    Regards.

    Can anyone reccomend another decent site??

    I have been using Pirate Bay as well - they aren't bad, but it nowhere near as good as Demonoid.
