Torrent Tracker Demonoid Shut Down by CRIA
There seems to be a worldwide crackdown on piracy, as of late. Demonoid was once shut down by the Canadian Recording Industry Association, and then came back on the promise that Canadians could not access Demonoid. Unfortunately for anyone hoping for a fast and easy way to download that latest Linux distribution, the CRIA had a nasty surprise for the administrators of Demonoid. You can see the nasty surprise on the front page of the 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.This method of site shutdown, called "upstream takedown", was done in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

than again with ppl getting smart & making proper keygens (not "fake" ones that just have a list of keys & display one at random) the companies are finding it harder 2 stop ppl coz they may infact have a genuine copy... or may be using a key of a copy that hasn't been sold yet.
i know there ain't many "proper" keygens about.... but they seem 2 b getting there... especially when vista was released! what an unexpected boom in the keygen market...NOT
the piratebay, while a decent site, also sucks in that alot of torrents are fakes or viruses and there isnt any real way to fix them.
demonoid was slow downloads so good riddens
Man try the others for downloads
like ... oops I can't link to warez.
there are many more to choose from come on cheer up my friends :cool: :toast:
All in all, Single-Player will worth the crack. But for Muti-Player, I'd pass.
& as for the viruses & shit most of the time if its a good torrent (lots of seeds) then it *usually* isn't a virus. (except for when the corps have a lot of peers hosting there fake files).
coz most ppl will delete a torrent once they detect a virus (which like IcrushitI, my virus scanner also allways tells me)
as long as u have 1\2 a brain torrents are great. (not saying anyone here had 1\2 a brain.... except me from how often ive been drunk lately!)
oh, & isohunt ROCKS... is easy 2 find torrents & they dont fill the page with CRAP (expecially when im using firefox with adblock & flashblock stuff!!!
