"Welcome back! Since a few months ago, Deimos, the site administrator, lacks the necessary time to take care of the website, because of personal matters he's been needing to attend to. For this reason, he has decided to leave the site staff. Before leaving, he assigned a new site administrator from among his friends to take care of the site. The old moderator team will continue helping with the site, unchanged. We will try to keep running everything just as it always has been. The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. The site might be going on and offline over the next days as we work out any problems. Welcome back, and enjoy your stay! - Umlauf Demonoid Site admin"

okay, so yeah, i'm psyched

but i AM suspicious...i thought they were shut down by the CRIAA or whatever, and i would assume they'd do something like pirate bay, where they post the letters or tell us what actually happened

i don't know about this, guys...

4/15/2008 9:58:32 AM

ITS A TARP!

4/15/2008 10:53:49 AM

"Yesterday, we reported that the popular BitTorrent tracker Demonoid was to be resurrected, under a new administrator. Now, less that a day later the site has made its comeback after exactly 6 months of downtime. demonoidA message posted on the Demonoid frontpage confirms that Deimos, the former administrator, left the Demonoid staff. The site seems to be working properly, as does the tracker, but there could be some downtime in the next few days. All the people who had an account at the time the site shut down can still sign in with the same username and password. The resurrection of the popular BitTorrent traffic marks the end of a tough year for the site. The trouble for Demonoid started back in June last year, when the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN started to put pressure on Demonoid and their ISP, Leaseweb. Deimos decided that the Netherlands wasn’t the safe haven it used to be and he to moved the site to Canada, which resulted in a few days of downtime. Deimos never really told the administrators or members of the site exactly what was happening. Initially, most members assumed that there was some hardware failure, but after a few days it became clear that Demonoid was more or less forced to move. Maybe there could have been hardware failures too, who knows, but the outcome was the same - Canada here we come. Relocating the servers to Canada initially solved the problems, but, by the end of September Deimos took Demonoid offline for the second time. Again, nobody knew what was going on until we found out that the CRIA was responsible for the downtime, which was later confirmed by Deimos. It turned out that Canada wasn’t the best choice after all. After 5 days of downtime the site returned, now blocking all traffic from Canadian users in an attempt to calm down the CRIA. At first it looked like the storm was finally over, but on November 9th Demonoid’s users were welcomed by a disappointing message on the frontpage explaining that the CRIA was indeed responsible for the downtime. The site never came back after November last year, up until now that is. Let’s hope it lasts this time."

4/15/2008 11:09:22 PM

well, this is good news, but i am too a bit skeptical...

4/15/2008 11:20:57 PM

well if it's the CRIA that's giving them trouble, and they're based in Canada, can the RIAA really even do anything? I mean, we're not in Canada, so what could they do?

4/16/2008 10:53:21 AM

They need to do what The Pirate Bay did and distribute it amongst several servers around the globe.

4/16/2008 11:17:48 AM

torrents are too risky now..for all we know some govt agency could be running the new demonoid.

i just pay $5 for a rapidshare account and download from ForumW.org or Warez-BB.org. they get tons of links to movies less than an hour after they are leaked onto p2p or pre'd by the scene

4/16/2008 2:37:12 PM

^ i ain't trusting nothin' a n00b says...no offense

4/16/2008 4:23:33 PM

lol rapidshare, just spend 10 more dollars and get newsgroups access. Or pay someone for a leech slot on a dump site.

4/16/2008 6:09:09 PM

get some waffles boys.......

4/16/2008 6:25:10 PM

not as much new stuff coming in, but that's because it just came back

4/21/2008 3:35:33 PM

Oh demonoid, how i missed you.

4/21/2008 10:45:07 PM

all out of free invites

4/22/2008 9:31:28 AM

How is this site any different/better than say all the other torrent sites out there? I registered and it looks like a cluttered mess to me.

4/22/2008 4:14:07 PM

^ i can't speak for right now, but it was LEAGUES ahead of sites like piratebay and mininova in terms of sheer amount of content...you could find just about anything

since it went down a while ago, though, i've seen pb flesh out quite a bit and demonoid is still recovering, so the gap is a lot less than before

4/22/2008 6:14:09 PM

4/22/2008 7:24:07 PM

^^Oh ok. I usually have no trouble finding whatever I need on isoHunt or TPB. I think I will more than likely just stick to those. They are a lot easier to navigate.

4/22/2008 9:04:02 PM

its funny, the current ad running on demonoid is a homeland security/boarder patrol recruiting ad

4/27/2008 7:57:51 PM

they don't have old music...that isn't that old.

I had to hunt down some mid-90's country...

this is why I shall never forget 10/23

Here’s a quick roundup of some of the websites where you can find the music that you love for free. The market for these kind of websites is exploding so it’s definitely not a complete list but it should give you a good start.

1) BeeMP3.com
BeeMP3.com is a mp3 search engine. The BeeMP3 crawler searches through the Net and indexes all the brand new and popular songs. They claim to have over 800,000 mp3 files and are adding 10,000 mp3 files daily.

2) Blip
Blip is a quick way to tell your friends what song you’re into right this minute. You also find out what your favorite people are listening to in real-time — no need to refresh the page. TechCrunch called it “Twitter for music” and that seems like a good description.

3) Critical Metrics
Critical Metrics is a database of highly recommended songs. The site keeps track of awards, hot lists, must lists, 5-star reviews, artist picks, testimonials, select discographies, and other notable on-the-record expressions of love and enthusiasm.

4) Deezer
Based out of France, Deezer offers, free of charge and legally, all kinds of music, from rock to hip-hop, jazz, electro and world music.

5) Free Albums Galore
Free Albums Galore is a full-album “mp3 blog” for listeners of eclectic music. You won’t find a lot of popular artists here, but the site posts only complete albums, not individual or scattered tracks.

6) Free Music Zilla
Free Music Zilla is a tool specialized for social music downloading. It lets you download free music from almost all of the social music services, including many on this list. It is not available for Mac unfortunately.

7) GrooveShark Lite
Grooveshark gives you the ability to find and listen to any song and get personalized recommendations. It has an excellent, easy-to-use interface.

8) Hype Machine
The Hype Machine tracks a variety of MP3 blogs. If a post contains MP3 links, it adds those links to its database and displays them on the front page.

9) Imeem
Imeem is a social network that offers access to a wide range of media including music, video and photos.

10) Internet Audio Archive
The Internet Audio Archive contains over a hundred thousand free digital recordings ranging from alternative news programming, to Grateful Dead concerts, to Old Time Radio shows, to book and poetry readings, to original music uploaded by its users.


11) Jango
Jango allows you to create a custom radio station just by typing in an artist’s name. You get the music you want, along with similar favorites of Jango users who share your taste. You can customize your station by adding more artists and rating songs that you want to play more or less.

12) Last.fm
Last.fm is one of the most popular custom radio sites. It also has social networking features and the ability to choose specific songs for a playlist. Unlike many sites on this list, Last.fm saves some of its best features for premium subscribers who pay a fee for the service.

13) Musicovery
Musicovery is a unique website that lets users choose which songs to play based on things like mood, genre, and musical era. It has a unorthodox interface that shows songs in relation to each other creating a kind of “music map.”

14) Music Search Online
Music Search Online is a mp3 search engine. Each result has a link to listen to the song or download the mp3 to your computer.

15) MuxTape
MuxTape is a simple way to create and share mp3 mixtapes. Anyone who signs up for an account receives their own subdomain (ex. http://samplename.muxtape.com/) which makes it easy to share the collection with friends and family.

16) Pandora
One of the most popular music sites on the Internet, Pandora is great for finding new music. The site’s database has the Music Genome Project at its core which contains in-depth information on each song (up to 400 attributes, including melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, and lyrics). You can create as many custom radio stations as you want, but you’re not able to play specific songs on demand.

17) SeeqPod
SeeqPod is a media search engine. It allows you to find, play, and enjoy the vast multitude of rich media files and applications available online, including video, audio, slideshows, Adobe Flash files, and more. The interface is somewhat cluttered however. It’s worth noting that SeeqPod’s database is used to power many other music sites, including several on this list.

18) SpiralFrog
SpiralFrog is an ad-supported Web site that offers over 700,000 songs for you to download.

19) Skreemr
SkreemR is a search engine for locating mp3 files on the web. They have a feature called AudioRank which helps suggest the version of each song with the highest quality.

20) Slacker
Slacker is a custom radio station site with an emphasis on letting people access their stations in many different places.

21) Songerize
Songerize is a simplified interface for the SeeqPod music search engine. The site describes itself as “SeeqPod’s ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button”, which is about right. You can get to the song you want to hear very quickly, all you need to do is enter the song title and the artist name.

22) Songza
Songza is a music search engine with the ability to create playlists and ranks results by quality. It has one of the best user interfaces of all the websites on this list.

Hopefully you found at least one useful new music site on this list. Be sure to add any sites we may have missed in the comments.

i haven't been able to conenct to a demonoid tracker for over a week...

5/28/2008 10:43:55 PM

I just did today.

No problems for me in the past ~week.

5/29/2008 12:18:00 AM

I have been racking up the ratio, I am joining some of the pushes to see stuff pushed out on demenoid vrs just posting external tracked torrents. WAY to many non members using demenoid these days and most of the other trackers, meaning there are far to many leaches.

Not demonoid specific, but torrent-related:

I've found an awesome way to remotely download torrents - uTorrent web client + uTorrentHandler
You set up uTorrentHandler as the default handler for .torrent files in the browser, and point it's config at a server running uTorrent with web client enabled. Whenever you click a torrent file, it automatically sends it to the remote server and starts the download.

Now I can download shit on a remote box, even when my machine is off. I can also kick off a d/l if I find something while out on my laptop, etc. I haven't used it much yet, but it looks like it's going to be pretty damn useful.
