First OiNK, now Demonoid.

Extremely popular private tracker Demonoid has shut and my downloads lie half complete.

Demonoid’s homepage simply says:

The CRIA [Canadian Recording Industry Association] threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

This is one of many large torrent sites to have been forced to shut/limit their activities. Torrentspy no longer operates inside the US, The Pirate Bay has shut several times, OiNK was closed by police a few weeks back and the heaven of BitTorrent, Suprnova, hasn’t existed in its original form for a few years.

Demonoid, you served me well. RIP.

The only question to ask is who will close next? My money’s on Mininova…

Webby’s World does not condone piracy but understand P2P can be used legally
