'Quote' {November 05, 2009} About Demonoid
It has been many weeks since the popular semi-private Bit-torrent tracker Demonoid went offline. The site’s owner claimed the downtime was due to hardware issues and warned of the loss of both torrents and user data. Today, however, there is hope on the horizon, as Demonoids tracker is now up and running again..

..Continued..

..When the site returns, it’s likely that members that joined the site more recently will have to sign up again, while others may have to resubmit their torrents. “A loss of some months worth of activity including registered users and torrent submissions is to be expected,”
Demonoid staff warned earlier.

For people wanting to use demonoid, because of their 'issues' (with whom i am a member) - the trackers can be replaced with those below. Most of the torrents were affected - so the solution should work for peoples torrents ~ (referring to torrent makers/uploaders too).

They need to be copy pasted into this screen in utorrent via right-clicking on a current torrent already in uTorrent (Look for ''Update Tracker'') Tab.

Adding lost trackers is essential Because: -
No trackers = No finding of Seeders = No download.

I Hope we can have good open discussions and helpful links here, and discuss the future of digital media and how a better system (?) can benefit all :)

Interesting story here regarding morality and 'torrents'.

Quote

Game developer RedLynx has been exploring a novel marketing technique for its products. Instead of trying to get all its titles removed from torrent sites, the company itself is distributing ‘hacked’ copies of the games, hoping to convert torrent site users into paying customers.

''I would also get legal copies of good games if they cared to drop the prices a bit. I mean, ~60€ is a lot to a student with a very low income. I gotta buy some food too, all I’m saying’'

I find this response to be widespread amongst users of torrents.
I'm sure we are dealing with both demographics and psycographics regarding torrents yet nonetheless it means something to people and is relevant.

Economics and business should not be the sole highest porpous for the management of media and entertainment.

What do you think eh!?!

Hi,

Is it my imagination or are torrent downloads suffering big speed resrictions
after 5pm UK time. I was averaging around 600Kb/s before midday.

Anyone else seen this?

P.S. Bang goes the new Ubuntu download, via torrent ;)
