Demonoid Site Is Down

Category: PersonalChrisM @ 2:16 am

It looks as though Demonoid.com is still down unfortunately. If anyone has any reliable info as to what is happening, please do leave a comment or e-mail me. In the meantime, in case you have not come across them, torrentspy.com and isohunt.com are pretty good as well.
If you are currently using a demonoid tracker for some of your torrents, it is apparently still live, but without the site, there is no way to search for new downloads.
As ever, I don’t support illegally downloading copyrighted materials (unless you own the original and it is legal to do so in your territory), so only use such services for public domain or authorized materials. /ass covering.

[edit]
I also meant to mention for a while, as torrentspy currently have comments disabled, there is a workaround in some instances… Grab the url for the torrent you are interested in, and add it to end of cache: as a Google search. If you are lucky, and the page was last cached (if at all), when comments were still live, you will be able to see them.

    ‘google://something +torrent’ always helped me.

    I know it may sound silly, but unless I have difficulty sourcing a particular file, I like to keep to a small handful of torrent sites, you then tend to know which uploaders are trustworthy, which do bodge jobs on converting to dvix etc. etc.

    Not silly at all. I prefer to use torrents.ru. However, I like to watch movies in English with captions (or subtitles, don’t remember which one is British). When (often) I’m unable to find such a release on torrents.ru, I switch to Google. :/
