That's a big hit to anyone who uses that site. It was the site for most of my "free" software.

Goddamn I was pissed when this happened.

I've moved on to The Pirate Bay, but it just ain't the same.

I've always been a TPB man.

Up next: TPB gets shut down.

Wonder what would happen when all torrent sites are shut down.
Deep web being used?
Movie dealers in alleyways selling USB sticks with movies on them?

I used to go onto BTJunkie, then TPB, then idk where to take shelter after TPB goes.

TPB is hard to take down. They've been shutdown before but got back up after a few days.

The IFPI sponsored the shutdown (and I wouldn't be surprised if they planned the ddos initially).

They also seized Demonoid's assets in Mexico.

There was talk of a mirror if any of the database could be obtained from authorities.

The day TPB goes down for good is the day we've lost the war.

Sure, they've been knocked down a couple of times, but they've always managed to get back on their feet.

I'm not a big fan of TPB theres to many fake torrents and random virus' with that site i heard some good things about Kick ass torrents but I've never used it before so guess I'll just have to try my luck

Learn to sort by number of seeders, seriously. I've only gotten a virus from TPB once, and it was because I deliberately downloaded a torrent that was known to be infected. You'd have to be retarded to get a virus from a torrent site, or in general, really.

I never got a virus from one Lol I'm just saying I'm not a big fan of the site because the majority are fake/virus torrents.

But i don't randomly look at youtube videos Lol the point I'm making is I preferred demoniod because it was nice and clean to a point where you didn't have to look through thousands of different links just to find the right one... (atleast thats how it was with TPB when i used that last which was years ago...)

If it was that bad to you, then TPB is a lot cleaner now it seems

Never cared much for demoniod, I've always used TPB.

And really, all you gotta do is look for the pingaz with the most seeders, +1's, and comments. Seriously, even if it's a low amount of seeders, you can always tell if it's legit or not by the comments, looking past the fact of them being flooded with "HOW 2 INSTALL, HOW I GET PORGRAM TO WORK? SEEDPLZPLZPLZ".

How... can you say that... when you haven't experienced it yourself. wtf lol
I've never had any problems with TBH and I've been using it for quite a while.

Because when i did use it thats pretty much all i ever read in every single comment for the torrents so i didn't feel the need to download it and double check it...

Post by: Samo on August 16, 2012, 10:29:06 PM
I just use google "______ torrent"
Simple and it works very well.
I will miss that "Torrent from demonoid" notepad file in my new torrents.

You're clearly at the shithole of TPB then. I don't actually recall ever seeing comments on any torrent complaining about viruses.
Title: Re: demoniod SHUT DOWN
Post by: semy32 on August 16, 2012, 10:58:37 PM
Private trackers are still better than public sites though.

Also, my friend said that TPB had all the magnet links in a text file which was about a few megabytes. It would be used if the site ever went down.

Used to use KickAss Torrents, but switched to TPB since it was 9001 times better.

It's pretty much the lowest class of "private" trackers (if you could call it that) but i loved it becuase it had rare torrents you couldn't get anywhere else....

TPB and BitGamer master rice!

Although I did have a Demonoid account. I think I never downloaded anything, though.

Post by: Cryptokid on August 17, 2012, 11:49:28 PM
 Lol I just use what.cd but i guess that's not available for everyone. I only really use it for music though, I use isohunt for larger torrents like games because I don't seed those 1:1. what.cd torrents are the only ones I seed but only because you have to maintain a ratio on the site. The awesome thing about the site though is that there isn't more than one torrent for an album unless it's for a different format of the song. You just search the artist and dl w/e album you need. I would invite people if I could.

I still use a "napster clone" for my music Lmao

Post by: Cryptokid on August 18, 2012, 11:02:12 AM
What.cd kind of pwns every other private tracker I've used because stuff is organized, available in multiple formats and always seeded. Everything else just isn't as good now lol.
