| I really, really hope they get back online. Demonoid has been by far the best torrent tracker so far. |

That makes 2 of us. And me with a ratio over 5 too (over 500 gigs uploaded).
http://www.ilovetorrents.com/ is on-line and still taking signups (currently about 40,000 users).
Not as good as demonoid but growing steadily and decent speeds. |

| Tvnova.com, for the lovely english programs is now 'under construction'. Basically disappeared. Falling like flies. |

Damn!
And I only had Demonoid for a week or so - just got invited!
How long does it usually shut down for - or does it look permanent? |

It was shut down once, opened again, shut down a second time. I'm thinking the guy might be giving up the ghost. |

he was hosting demonoid in the netherlands when he got shut down. then moved the server to canada. he got a legal threat and stopped providing service to canadian users (but kept the site going for the rest of the world) ... now he's gone again.
i might go to cuba and talk to castro ... i'm sure i could convince him to make cuba a haven for torrent and p2p server hosting. |

Is this affecting other torrent sites?
I don't know much about how torrents work but ever since i saw this news i am having trouble downloading any torrents from Scene HD, UK Nova, Mininova etc etc.
I just get 'Waiting to scrape' and then 'Scrape OK' but then nothing happens..... |

They don't allow any of the newer utorrent builds. Their list of approved torrent clients is insanely restrictive.
For tv i have found the best to be http://www.eztv.it/frontpage.php and I still don't have a good movie one yet. Can some body recommend one? (prefer public as I am on a 7.6mb / 128 kb connection with a smallish datacap, so while I would like to share but...) |

I'm close to three times that, so I was pissed. Still, I don't see why he can't move it over to where thepiratebay is hosted. Sweden? No, Netherlands.

I'm a mininova user for the most part. and EZTV. I only used demonoid to get full seasons of stuff. I'm not worried. I assume he'll be back in 2 weeks or so. Who knows, maybe thrid times the charm and he's gone for good. |
