Sam Nichols Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Just thought you guys would be interested to know Demonoids back, not sure for how long mind you!Its servers are now in the Ukraine.. man that site gets around!There are talks on slashdot and other sites that this could be a setup to catch file sharers.. Seems a bit far fetched to me?One other thing, try to post sensibly as this topic is pretty much against the forum rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bondy Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 so whats the difference between demonoid and other torrent sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Demonoid is private so the quality of stuff is generally better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Plus they monitor your sharing ratio and you get warnings which lead to a ban if you dont share as much as you upload.This means you get much better download speeds and because its very much a community you get less viruses and crap media.

Dan Clark Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Demonoid has an ass-ton of stuff, I wouldn't call it's quality much better than public sites though, it's not a true private site really, I think sign ups are open for a few days each month.

Sam Nichols Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Demonoid doesnt host files. Demonoid is a tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Demonoid doesnt host files. Demonoid is a tracker.hmmmm confused ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ok torrents work like this.. Somebody has the file on their computer and says hey, I want to share this.People download the file from that person.They decide they also want to share it.So like 10people are now sharing the same file.When you click download you are connecting to THEM and downloading little bits of the file from all of them.All Demonoid and other torrent sites do is give you a place to put all the files together in a searchable way.So people go on demonoid and put up a topic (like a forum) saying they have the file available to sharing.Does that make sense?P.S.The reason Demonoid is regarded as one of the better sites is that it has share ratios, which basically means you have to distribute (seed) as much as you download (leech).This means demonoid download rates are generally very high.Theres a strong sense of community too and the chances of you DLing a dodgy file very low.In short, it rocks.

Sam Nichols Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 A fair point Yeah the ratio is like 1:1 I think, you get warnings though. So they let you know if you need to upload some more and stop being a leeching b*****d My ratio is something like 1:8 so I have no worries anyway.

Danny Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I wonder if my old account with the broken ratio exists (It never changed from 0.6).Either way file sharing is naughty but cheers for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
