Demonoid...

TEMPLE3188 · 08-11-09, 05:09 PM

It's starting to look like demonoid will never return

It's been offline now for months and they where the only private tracker I knew of who did applications/movies/tv shows, does anyone have any inside information on what's happening with them?

If not, does anyone know of any other good private trackers for the above stuff?

Thanks

I've been starting to think this too, been offline for ages, don't know anything about it though

Maintenance

The site will return as soon as possible, but there was a problem that caused data loss and the person who can help us get the data back is not able to help at this moment. The site will return when we can get his help

A loss of a some months worth of activity including registered users and torrent submissions is to be expected because the backup we are hoping to get back is not up to date, so please be prepared for it

Could take a while? I don't think it's legal reason at the minute!

That message has been on there for time.
I think it will be back, but not as we know it and maybe not with the same owners.

A bittorrent tracker that's private... i.e need an account and there are no public signups, you have to be invited etc.

In other words ... Not public.

Ah, sorry

Indeed.
Because it's visited only by 'responsible' members yes, less virii.

newzgroups are far more secure and 2000x faster.

But even so, I guess it's more safer than say... piratebay?

I never had a problem with PirateBay at all, not one.

I have however just managed to absolutely riddle my lappy with virii from ISOHunt.
Been at it since last night trying to get rid of em all, just one left that is persistent.
Might have to format.

Anywayz

Private trackers > public.
Anyday.

Just wish I hadn't slapped all my eggs into one basket and let all my other accounts lapse now that Demonoid has collapsed.
Ah well, time to start looking for new invites.

And Harvez ... We've been through this before.
NewsGroups are just too advanced for my tiny lil brain at least, can't speak for the rest on here

easyier than torrents tbh, you have a client you grab a NZB just like u would a torrent file the client jumps into action then watch it max you out while it downloads

Must have evolved somewhat in the last 10 years or so then since I last had a dig :P

Looks like the same setup as torrents, decided to give it a whirl, though I don't want to make a noob mistake and download a virus or anything, what client would you recommend and where do you get your NZBs, are they public or private Harvez?
