Demonoid busted by the police

[BuddyRey]

But I love Demonoid!

I feel like Florida from "Good Times" right now. I just want to shout, DAYUMN DAYUMN DAYUMN!!!

 

[KingRobbStark]

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.

The demonoid management (actual owners) are located in Mexico.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

next will be Drones?

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

ebooks - I got ebooks. Classics that don't even have copyrights any more. Lots of stuff I always meant to read, but never got around to reading.

 

[Barrex]

Yea I am registered there too. I only download leagal stuff...

 

[Ranger29860]

lol they think that will stop Demonoid? This has happened at least a half a dozen times so far. I suspect 6 months till its back up.

 

[hazek]

Should've located in Hong Kong.

Actually, should've hid behind TOR.

TOR only works on the theory that no one would bother going through the trouble of tracing you. It is possible to trace someone through the TOR network just takes a while. I think if they were willing to go as far as DDOS'ing demonoid then taking it down physically I think they would have no issues wasting the time to find through TOR.

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.

I hosted a FTP server back in the late 90's when I first got a cable modem as a teenager. I also ran a Hotline server too. Before that I even messed around with hosting a BBS, but I didn't want to use my spare phone line exclusively for that purpose.

AFAIK while its true that TOR is not perfect, it is rather hard to find someone unless they are caught by someone in control of the exit node. TORs exit nodes are randomized by design so in order to have 100% efficiency at tracking TOR traffic, the people looking would have to control 100% of the exit nodes.

Using TOR in conjunction with another proxy site (ex CGI proxy) in a ghetto proxy chain type situation would help further mitigate the traceability as I understand it.

Im honestly shocked that more people dont upload their own personal legally obtained media on a private FTP account with no password or http (say, apache) for your own backup and personal use...

ahem.

public domain stuff only of course.

Should've located in Hong Kong.

Seems that they're back and they've done exactly that:
http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2012/11/12/welcome_back_demonoid#comment-5802352

The site's index and forum remain down, however, as the team works to bring the entire site back online.

Over the summer, Demonoid was hit by a massive DDoS attack, taking it down temporarily. Afterwards, following pressure from Interpol, the site's webhost in the Ukraine pulled the plug, leaving Demonoid and its users in the dark.

The new site appears to be running from Hong Kong.

 

[Barrex]

I am a member at (old)Demonoid.

How do you access a new one?

Also:

It is nearly impossible to find someone who has free invites to this one:
http://www.iptorrents.com


;(

 

[HigherVision]

There's not a new site yet so I don't think you can access it. Just the tracker is supposedly back up so if you downloaded the torrents themselves and saved them you can use them again. Too bad I didn't do so for all the stuff I had planned to download at the time.

 

[Constitutional Paulicy]

so what's the address now demonoid.hk?

 

[eric_cartman]

i got a usenet account.... i'm liking it a lot. speeds are WAY faster than torrents. big selection. no need to upload anything.

if you like downloading stuff and don't like torrents, usenet is the way to go

I have never been able to figure out how to download from usenet. Can you steer me to a decent FAQ?
