ReplyDeleteWhilst 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.
ReplyDeleteI am still sharing torrents, and people are still downloading.
3 out of 4 of the name servers are pingable. I strongly suspect that most of those machines are just fine.
ReplyDeletens1.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:
http://www.robtex.com/cnet/62.149.24.html
DNS is no longer resolving the domain name demonoid.com ... for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
I can almost connect.
ReplyDeleteEarlier 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteFor 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.
yes the tracker is working fully for me to. I can almost access the website but it just loads. earlier today the tracker was not working at all or only half way, so hopefully their making progress
ReplyDeletethank you all for posting on this.
soooo gay I hope its fixed soon.

Demonoid under attack
ReplyDeleteOn 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."

o no!!! my comics... :(
ReplyDeleteIt's down at this very moment
ReplyDeleteThis is bad news!! I did get as far as my Avatar tonight, since then nothing...and still down now as I type.
ReplyDeleteSame problem here in Australia. I know I'll be donating some well deserved cash to them to help them ward off such attacks in the future.
ReplyDeleteSame problem here in France!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteHere in greece the site is down.....
ReplyDeleteOngoing denial of service attack
ReplyDeleteThere 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
I got access a minute ago. It lives!!!
ReplyDelete(though it is still slow...)
YEAAAAAA THE SITE LIVES
ReplyDeleteNo accesss again, front page is down.....
ReplyDeletesame problems in Italy...the site is down!!!! (sigh!!)
ReplyDeleteat this time in Italy, the site is back ok! welcome back demonoid!!
ReplyDeleteStill down in UK at 17.25
ReplyDeleteLooks like anti-p2p groups and govts are in play with this one
Works fine for me in Hungary (only a few minutes ago, but yeah, it is real!)!
ReplyDeleteGo on and try you too!
Speaking of donating... Is there a trustworthy organization that will relay payments anonymously?
ReplyDeleteTrustworthy 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.)
demonoid works again!
ReplyDeletei`m happy!
Finally working, 10:20PM GMT-5, Montréal Canada ^^
ReplyDeleteLove demonoid :D
