Demonoid is back online

The popular BitTorrent tracker Demonoid is really back online.

The torrent site also confirms that the site administrator Deimos decided to left the Demonoid staff and now it is under new administrator.

Many are surely jumping with joy on their comeback and I hope they this time they last longer.

Welcome back!

Since a few months ago, Deimos, the site administrator, lacks the necessary time to take care of the website, because of personal matters he's been needing to attend to. For this reason, he has decided to leave the site staff.

Before leaving, he assigned a new site administrator from among his friends to take care of the site. The old moderator team will continue helping with the site, unchanged. We will try to keep running everything just as it always has been.

The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. The site might be going on and offline over the next days as we work out any problems.

Welcome back, and enjoy your stay!

- Umlauf
Demonoid Site admin

Demonoid was shut down by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) in November last year. Deimos, now the former administrator of Demonoid has handed over the site to a certain Umlauf. Demonoid indexes torrents uploaded by its members and it became the second largest and second most used public tracker for over a year.
