It has been three months since Demonoid went offline at the hands of Canadian authorities. However, for some odd reason, the Demonoid tracker is responding again. Since the frontend was hosted in America, the Subdemon forums never even went down. The tracker itself is hosted in Malaysia now, and has been online for a little more than 2 days. While pirates everywhere will likely begin using the Demonoid tracker, the site itself is still down, and there has been no word from the official Demonoid team. In regards to restarting one of the most famous Bittorrent trackers of all time, founder and admin Deimos has this to say.

Money is an issue, but the real problem at the moment is finding a suitable place to host the website. There has been no luck there. And there's some personal stuff I need to take care of that takes most of my time at the moment, and that does not help.

Please check the source link for a history lesson on Demonoid.

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
