Demonoid Will Come Back Soon, Rebuild in Progress

 

After more than a year of downtime Demonoid?s website is again showing signs of life. A notice displayed on the website of the infamous BitTorrent tracker reveals that the people behind the site are planning a comeback. Talking to TorrentFreak Demonoid?s admin confirms the resurrection without revealing a time-frame or any other specifics. While many questions remain unanswered, former Demonoid users are getting excited.

 

As the single largest semi-private BitTorrent tracker that ever existed, Demonoid offered a home to millions of file-sharers.

This changed abruptly August last year when a series of troubled events took the site offline. When it was still down after a year, many had given up hope that it would ever return.

Today there?s a glimmer of hope to report to estranged Demonoid members, as the site is preparing for a glorious comeback. TorrentFreak contacted the Demonoid team via its demonoid.com email address where the Demonoid team confirmed the plans.

?I can?t give you any specifics at the moment, but yeah, we are planning to bring the site back,? we were told.

A follow-up request, for more details and whether the same people are behind the site, remains unanswered for now. However, a landing page on Demonoid.com and Demonoid.me brings more hope.

?We will rebuild! Coming back soon, please check back later. Thanks for your visit!,? it reads, with a Bitcoin donation option below.

Isn't this the second or third time they've "come back"?

By a small group of Anonymous skids that we're going to use it to lure people into downloading crap in an attempt to create a bot net.

The only reason I know this is because my niece has an ex who thinks he's a bad-ass anon and always talked trash about how Demonoid was junk and useless. To show how ignorant the idiot is, he kept bragging about how he is a hardcore Linux user and I asked: "What distro do you use? I use Ubuntu and Mint on occasion". He never heard of either and quickly changed the subject.

Anyway, back in June he was suddenly mentioning Demonoids return and how excited he was. Asked for a link and it was soo obvious what they were doing that I started cracking up. Called him out on it and he deactivated his Facebook lol.

It wasn't a .com or .me. Can't remember what it was, but it was a huge fail. Should find something about it through Google.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
