TPB wants Demonoid in Sweden

16 January 2008 23:56 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 39 comments

It has been nearly two months and the once very popular torrent site Demonoid is still on its extended period of downtime. The infamous torrent site The Pirate Bay however, has recently offered two brand new servers to the Demonoid crew, in Sweden.

It has been unclear since December whether Demonoid would ever return but tens of thousands of users became hopeful when the founder of the site said he was looking for a new location to host the site. �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,� he added.

Brokep, one of the admins of TPB recently said in an interview that he hopes Demonoid will make a comeback and has claimed to have two new servers already waiting for them if they choose to. �We tried to contact the guys behind Demonoid and we�ve set up a tracker for them but they haven�t responded. But, we have two servers running for them if they want to set it up.�

Hooray. I had only just begun to use Demonoid when it went down and I was a little heartbroken ;) But it's nice to see our friends up at The Pirate Bay working on restoring Demonoid. I sure as hell hope they open up this and it doesn't end up cancelled like bOiNK. [ + quote]

*Originally posted by Dustinx86:* I am Dustin..you may know me as "One of the guys that you got this interview from" It isn't like it was copyrighted or anything like that, but first of all I wrote that interview with Peter, and we had to get up early as hell in order for us to do it, the very least the author of this article could do it link to the source which was our techcast...it is a very new project of ours and the exposure definitely wouldn't hurt us So anyways, below are 2 links for methods of getting the original .mp3 version of the entire techcast (featured interview with Peter Sunde) thanks http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3961847/SubD...iew_with_Brokep http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ALXVAU20 The megaupload version may be buggy, the torrent tracked by TPB is very well seeded at the moment though and should download relatively quick, thanks again -- Dustin Very good and intresting interview! I hope to see Demonoid back up in the future. Since Demonoid went down I have turned to TPB for a place to put my torrents. DsG! [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting.

Maybe not such a good plan seeing how things have changed since this news was posted. Free open source software = made by end users who want an application to work.... Commercial "pay for" software = made by software developers who want paying... see where I'm going with this? [ + quote]

Yes. TPB have issues of there own to sort out now, rather than have to deal with Deimos. [ + quote]

Well I haven't heard anything officially so it's probably not true. Free open source software = made by end users who want an application to work.... Commercial "pay for" software = made by software developers who want paying... see where I'm going with this? [ + quote]

Just appears just trying to be what Demonoid was. *Originally posted by varnull:* Well I haven't heard anything officially so it's probably not true. I can't imagine that Deimos would announce it as they would just target the site again, trying and take it down. I assume he would keep it on the down low.
