Popular Shuttered Torrent Site Demonoid Returns

Posted by timothy on from the there-and-back-again dept.

First time accepted submitter AudioEfex (637163) writes "Demonoid has emailed all registered users that it is back online — at its original site — in a new "cloud based" back-end. There have been various attempts in the past (including one accused of simply being malware), but so far this appears to be the original site admins and a legitimate resurrection. User registrations are also open at this time, but as a semi-private tracker, it's unknown how long that will continue."

    Those private, invite-only torrent communities don't usually require you to provide brand-new stuff. It's often enough if you upload old stuff that no one else has made available yet. If you e.g. have a collection of classic vinyl and a means to rip it to FLAC, or can upload a few arthouse films that got a limited DVD release a decade ago, then you're in.

    Demonoid has been back since March...

    It came back two months ago, in March. I know Slashdot is slow with news but this is a little ridiculous.

    The old user accounts database is still there. I just logged straight back in with the account I set up in 2005.

    "Demonoid has emailed all registered users"

    No, they have not.
