I probably extremely late to the punch but I thought Id still let you guys know. Apparently all the old accounts still work, or so Im told.

How many of you are registered with demonoid?

EDIT: This is no longer an invite thread, But a OMG AWESOME DEMONOID IS BACK thread.

Spastic

The accounts still work, and the ratios are the same too! Just have a look.

I am so glad, Demonoid is really the best site ever made. I can send you an invite hzac, what is your email?

hzac
04-11-2008, 9:29 PM
Holy crap dude. That is one hell of a ratio.

Thats really cool of you. ill send email through a Pm

So basically what do I have to do too keep this account activated? Seed lots?

EDIT: Never mind dude. Thanks for the offer though. There is a thread on 4chan with an 'admin' from demonoid spurting out activation codes and I was lucky enough to score one.

If we invite one of you and you get banned, we might get banned too, so begging for invites here probably won't work. :douchecock:

Also, HOLY FUCKING SHIT DEMONOID IS BACK!!!*%1

I am not inviting anyone else, so there is no point in asking from this point on.

First post edited.

SO yeah. Like I said earlier, what are the restrictions on the account? What do I have to do to keep it? Just seed lots?

Definitely the most trustworthy torrent site on the net. Now that they are back I won't be going back to The Pirate Bay.

It's private, all the torrents are checked for viruses and legitimacy, there is no porn, and the community is great. They also are the best place to find old obscure things.

no porn?! Oh god i feel faint...

Seriously though, i'd love to get registered sometime to it, i always seed my stuffs as much as possible. (highest seed on my other computer was about 60 something, good few around 20-30s, rest of them (about half) under 10.

Glad to see it back, nothing shall keep us down!
File-sharing is not illegal damn you! Stop blocking torrents!
I hate when everyone bends to these stupid companies like RIAA and so on. Screw them. Screw the music industry as well if they are too stupid to adapt to the internet.
The internet has made loads of peoples careers these days, why can't they see that?

We open the registrations to the public at least once a month
When is the next one? Any idea? Or do I just have to find an activation code from somewhere/one.

Usually when they do it, it's on fridays, so I'd suggest just checking every friday at the very least. It's random, though.

I don't download often, only 12GB from them so far, but my god is it good

Woah I've been in the dark all this time. I had no idea how awesome Demonoid was. I just used TorrentSpy to search for torrents.

But now I see the light. :aaa:

I have an account there from yonks back. If anyone wants an invitation code just PM me.

Ah and yeah, great Demonoid is back up, shame I went and bought a premium Usenet subscription when I got bored of waiting for it to come back...

I used TorrentSpy all the time as well, I was kind of bummed it got shut down because it was so useful.

Demonoid is much better though.

Woah, it has shut down. When did that happen? It was a pretty decent site save for the slight porniness of the ads on it.

It was a decent site until the comments went offline, then eventually it just became a search site for other sites torrents.

Holy shit on a stick I got a lot of PMs.

Alright guys, I've used all my codes up now, so stop PMing me...please...

Also, does anyone know where they ended up basing the Demonoid servers? Last I heard they were having problems finding an area (seeing as how Canada essentially told them to sod off).

That would be tight.

I just saw my email from Demonoid saying it was back and I can say I am very happy about that. And I don't even have to use a proxy to go on it like I had to before they completely closed. It's fucking great !

Ah excellent, now i have somewhere to go now that torrentspy got closed down.

That is, if someone can send me an invite. :D

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION IS OPEN AS OF NOW. (1am BST 19/4)

EDIT: Closed.

Dime
04-18-2008, 7:23 PM
I will probably register anyways, but what are the odds of getting caught using this. Like, if police were to shut down Demonoid, how would the users be affected?

Sorry if that didn't make any sense.

Dodger

They would all be prosecuted and tried on grand larceny.

Inviting is a risk for the inviter, so you probably have better chances just waiting for the next registration.

Thats a ridiculous ratio, have you just used a different site to download? Or do you just spend all your time creating torrents?

Well, I made two torrents so far (a 1.09gig music one and a ~250MB one with Weird Al vids) and I haven't downloaded anything since I became a member since I'd already reached my dl quota for this month. Only got Ocean's Twelve off it but the source was external (aXXo) so I suppose it didn't count. I'm always seeding my two torrents if I'm on.

Diving 1.58gig through ~0KB would give a near infinite ratio :x

BlackHood
04-22-2008, 12:53 PM
Fair enough, I'd like to be able to claim that my ratios are anywhere near that, just as an incentive for some one to invite me, but unfortunately I can't!

The quality and speed of the torrents is what's good about it. You'll never get a virus or corrupt file, and the speeds I've been getting have been phenomenal. I got an average of 816kb/s on the last file I downloaded from there.

Audioslave
04-23-2008, 1:24 PM
Youtorrent isn't bad. The quality is generally good, and I get some pretty decent speeds. I considering I don't have the greatest internet connection, I can usually download an entire, 2hour, .avi movie in under 10 hours. Usually under 5.

ilovebrownies
04-23-2008, 2:35 PM
Youtorrent is just a search engine though, it's not the actual tracker for the torrents. So even if you use Youtorrent, you might be downloading from demonoid.

Audioslave
04-23-2008, 3:14 PM
No, actually, because Demonoid isn't listed as one of the trackers. It might get added later.

But I see what you're saying. In my experience, I've gotten better results from searching with Youtorrent or Mininova rather than Demonoid.

MrDoctor
04-23-2008, 10:34 PM
Yo if anyone wants to throw me an invite I will shower you with love. But I've never used Demonoid, whats so different then other torrent sites. Does it have a download limit?

It takes 24 hours usually to update, sometimes longer. My ratio is acting normally.

Matterialize
04-24-2008, 3:56 PM
Mine hasn't, actually. It's updated once since Demonoid came back and that's it. I'm sending the proper stop commands and everything.

Well, whatever. My ratio's fine where it is.

It's working for me, I have a ratio of about 0.53 right now.

If anything there is too many seeds on my torrents, some of them are seeding pretty slowly after I've finished downloading :mad:

OoooF4LiFe
04-25-2008, 1:15 AM
Got one today while it was open too.

If your worried about your ratio you can just pick up a popular cd, and just seed it untill your ratio is like 2+. Or just seed whatever you download, like... your suppose to. :fmita:
