  1. This is the OpenDNS message:

    Hmm, www.demonoid.com isn't loading right now.

    The computers that run www.demonoid.com are having some trouble. Usually this is just a temporary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.

  2. Whilst demonoid is down, the tracker is partly working. It is keeping track of the peers, and the seeders, though the statistics part is still down.

    I am still sharing torrents, and people are still downloading.

  3. 3 out of 4 of the name servers are pingable. I strongly suspect that most of those machines are just fine.

    ns1.demonoid.com = 62.149.24.66 - pingable
    ns2.demonoid.com = 62.149.24.67 - pingable
    ns3.demonoid.com = 62.149.24.68 - not pingable
    ns4.demonoid.com = 62.149.24.70 - pingable

    I got the list from:

  4. DNS is no longer resolving the domain name demonoid.com ... for whatever reason.

    What may have happened is that "the man" (RIAA/MPAA/Brein/some government/court/etc.) could be, in effect, hiding the IP addresses that Demonoid is using by denying DNS resolution for that domain.

    It might not be that ... might be something else.

    The tracker is up right now (as I'm typing this) you just can't get to it by using inferno.demonoid.com .

    I found the IP address of the inferno.demonoid.com server/domain. Using the fix below I've gotten my torrents working / able to communicate with the tracker.

    inferno.demonoid.com = 62.149.24.72

    A temporary work around for this problem is to go into your torrent tracker lists and substitute 62.149.24.72 for inferno.demonoid.com .

    If the single line immediately below were the entire tracker list for one of your torrents then go in and change the tracker list for that torrent to be the following 2 lines (together/no blank line). Your port number will be different. Port 3415 is shown below.

    http://inferno.demonoid.com:3415/announce

    BECOMES ...

    http://62.149.24.72:3415/announce
    http://inferno.demonoid.com:3415/announce

    You likely want the line with the numbers to be first in that "stanza." I find that uTorrent randomizes the tracker list ... so you might need to play with this a few times ... shutdown / change order / startup / repeat as necessary.

    The web server is down for now. That IP replies to pings but not HTTP requests ... unknown why.

  5. I can almost connect.

    Earlier today I was getting an error from firefox but recently I've had more luck.

    It's 11:28PM here in California.

    I've tried 4 times.

    -First connect: I saw just the gray background.
    -Second connect: I saw just the front page - my avatar and everything.
    - Third connect: the front page loaded in about 10 seconds
    - Fourth connect: gray background again.

  6. It appears that the Demonoid tracker is back working at 100% or close to it. DNS resolution is working. Someone connected a few minutes ago to one of my torrents and I was able to feed them some bytes. The number of peers I'm seeing has quadrupled.

    For those who modified their tracker list it would be a good idea to put them back as they were.

    The website is still down. At least the command "ping www.demonoid.com" is working again. HTTP requests may not come back, but the requests don't quickly time out as before. It appears that they are making progress on the problems.

    What the first commenter said about the "nameservers ... failing" may well have been true.

    What I said above about "some government/court/etc. ... hiding the IP address" turned out to be quite untrue (thankfully). Hardware/software problems can be fixed. It just takes time.

  21. Demonoid under attack

    On April 27, 2010 the site went down as did the tracker. As of April 28, 2010 the tracker and the site were still down, however they appeared to have come online early on the 29th. This message was displayed on the front page. "There is a denial of service attack in progress that is causing extreme slowness. We are currently working on solving the issue. Thanks for your understanding."

  27. If you visit the site and look in the url bar there is no longer the usual demonoid icon but the standard skull and cross bone tape icon representing anti-piracy concerns. This points towards darker forces than just site maintenance.

  28. Here in greece the site is down.....

  29. Ongoing denial of service attack

    There is a denial of service attack in progress that is causing extreme slowness.

  37. Speaking of donating... Is there a trustworthy organization that will relay payments anonymously?

    Trustworthy as in: 1) Will actually relay the payments and 2) Will not keep records more than a month or two. (As those records are subject to future government scrutiny.)
