Demonoid Is Back, BitTorrent Tracker is Now Online

12 Nov 2012

Demonoid went down at the end of July the site’s admin blamed a DDoS attack. This initial attack resulted in a series of problems that were not easy to fix.

However, at the time the tech admin of the site was determined to get the site back online.
“You know how it goes with Demonoid. It might take a while but it will come back,” the admin told us.
This was easier said than done though, and things went from bad to worse when Demonoid’s hosting provider Colocall pulled the plug following pressure from Interpol. But despite the site’s entanglement in a criminal investigation, Demonoid’s users never gave up hope that the site would return.
Today, this hope appears to be justified as the first step towards a comeback was been made. A few hours ago Demonoid’s tracker was kicked back into action.

It may not come as a surprise that Demonoid is no longer with its former hosting company in the Ukraine. It appears that they have moved to Hong Kong instead, judging from the IP-address linked to the tracker.
While the news of the revived tracker will delight many Demonoid users, it may take some time before the site itself returns, if that’s the plan. In 2007 and 2009 Demonoid suffered similar downtime episodes and at the time the tracker reappeared several weeks before the site.
When the DDoS hit Demonoid late July the site also suffered from an “exploit of sorts” which caused some damage. It is unclear whether this has been resolved at this point. The admin told us at the time that if the site did indeed return, it might move over to the new code they had been testing for a while.
Time will tell if that’s indeed the case.
TorrentFreak has asked Demonoid’s tech admin for a comment on the tracker comeback and the possible return of the website, and we’ll update this article once we receive a response.

When Demonoid’s tracker came back online last month many people hoped the site would follow soon.
However, after a few weeks of service the tracker seems to have died already.

The inferno.demonoid.me trackers are no longer responding and demonoid.me DNS records are missing some crucial entries.

The last update we got from Demonoid’s admin was in mid-September, when the hope for a quick resurrection was already tempered.

“I hope there will be one day, but it might not be soon,” the tech admin said at the time.

“We are down, and we’re not looking into putting the site back up at the moment,” the admin added.

Time will tell whether Demonoid can make a comeback once again.
