I thought their server was located in Montenegro?
Some forums are reporting the DDOS attack, but not the law enforcement connection.
 
The guys who run these sites are pretty bad-a$$. Just saying. They take the risk of going to jail so that we can... get stuff for free.

demonoid is ran by family with a family environment. no pron. policed for fakes. i get a lot of tech tools from the forum.
 
I remember hearing a few days ago they were offline but didn't know they were busted.

Yeah I was reading somewhere that the Demonoid administrators were working to restore the site and its servers but it would take some time. I'm worried that Pirate Bay is all that's left considering they've had legal issues in the past.
 
I am not sure why sharing even requires servers. Is it just so the uploaders and downloaders can hook up?

I've tried Usenet, but can't figure out how to do that.

(I know how to post in usenet, just can't figure it out as it relates to file sharing. :) )

Yup the servers host the .torrent files witch contain the info that your bit torrent program uses to connect connect with other users.

sharing doesn't require servers.
demonoid is nothing more that a forum like this one, except it has a way for users to share links to their torrents that are located on their computer.
demonoid in itself isn't hosting any software. they are a community forum.
 
Demonoid is a torrent tracker. The servers are for hosting the .torrent files, like torchbearer said.

Apparently they did they right before the PM of the Ukraine is on his way to meet President Obama, so it's a little political gift.
 
mod should change thread title to "Demonoid busted as gift to Obama/Biden 2012"

the original article says gift to US govt but gift to Obama Biden 2012 is more appropriate

Actually this was a gift to the US entertainment industry...who will see Obama as a returner of favors. This is a perfect example of the US dictating to foreign nations what their laws should be...I can't wait for the world policeman to go broke, may be then this sort of meddling will end.

kickass torrents. kat.ph

there's always another one.

true, for current TV and recent movies. but Demonoid had many unique items, from TV movies to software. just as when megaupload was taken down it did not effect the popular items but the harder to find classic TV and Korean TV

I don't see how Hollywood benefits, other than to prove a point. most TV is downloaded by people who can't watch it in their own country. or find it an easier way to record something they already have watched.
Canadian and British networks don't seem to mind when their current shows are posted, rather openly on youtube. and yet Warner goes nuts if a 60 year old movie or TV series shows up there
 
yeah, thats always a good place to visit every once in awhile.

anyone know if anyone host ftp server sites anymore? i used to run a u-serv server.

Most of the FTP sites that we had available were pretty much just for web hosts to uploads their files to servers, but we never really played that big of a part in trying to encourage FTP to download files. HTTP got pushed because IE was the dominant browser at the time and had terrible FTP support.
