News article dated 4yh September

When Demonoid first went down i did a Fast Google search for a Possible explanation, I found a News Article dated the 4th of September of this year (Sorry, I don't have the Link Immediately to hand)stating they were experiencing fairly major hardware issues and at some time in the near future they would be taking the site down for a time to swap out hardware.
I'm assuming, being based now in the Ukraine they May be having some troubles getting the parts they need, so i'm not giving up hope over Demonoid Yet.

CRIA needs to learn the law, DEMONOID need to get some balls

I have no idea why Demonoid never bought their own servers. To say that the company providing the servers pulled the plug cause of a threat is bogus and lame. Demonoid just has to admit that their administration have no balls to stand up to the CRIA. The CRIA are shooting off blanks. Previous court cases in Canada have said downloading from the internet is not illegal.

Unlike the US, much of what is found online for free is considered to be public domain. If it's out there, its considered like finding a dime on the sidewalk. Finders Keepers. 

It is hard to find a site worthy now to call home. The shame in all this, is the loss of TV shows. Demonoid was the best for getting tv series torrents. I guess we just have to move onward to the next torrent site and carry on from their.

Confirmed

This message now appears on the Demonoid home page if you are in Canada:

"We received a letter from a lawyer represeting (sic) the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and We need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. If you reside in Canada, that is the reason you are being redirected to this message. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience."

Demonoid is Back

Shortly after midnight, Eastern Time Zone, I noticed that some of my torrents that had gradually stopped over the past few days were operational again. The tracker portion of Demonoid is back online. The torrent listing site may not be back yet as I can't get a response, even the 'Demonoid Server too busy' page, but I suspect it won't be long now.

Oddity

Both then and now GeoIP says Demonoid is hosted in the USA. Right now nothing loads at demonoid.com except the favicon either.

Doesn't look good

2 days before demonoid went down, I recieved an email asking were my "torrent list" had gone...I replied saying "it is still there" and sent a link...What an idiot I am, I checked that email on the 26th and a little icon came up saying "FBI"...

I do not know if demonoid going down is linked to this but it does seem likely...

Not confirmed

Unfortunately nothing has been confirmed and there is no reason to assume the CRIA did anything. The last time the CRIA (which, by the way, is not the canadian RIAA but rather a group that represents the RIAA in canada) tried anything they got shut down in court.

Keep an eye out for updates.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
