Demonoid Staffers Launch New Site to Keep the Legacy Alive


Matrix

Recommended Posts

A group of former Demonoid staffers have launched a new torrent site to keep the legacy of founder Deimos alive. While the original Demonoid is not coming back, the new site has the same look and feel and aims to offer a new home to those who miss the defunct torrent tracker.

As one of the oldest torrent communities, Demonoid has gone through many ups and downs over the years.

The site regularly disappeared, only to resurface later, which gave it the reputation of a comeback-kid.

However, last summer things changed when Deimos, the site’s founder, went missing. After months of uncertainty and downtime, it became clear that the site wasn’t coming back this time. Deimos is believed to have passed away in a tragic accident, marking the end of an era.

Many staffers were devastated when they heard the news but they were also motivated to keep the Demonoid spirit alive. To honor Deimos, first and foremost, and to create a place where former users of the site could continue to interact.

Initially, they started a forum at Demonoid.info and, as time went by, more and more Demonoid users found their way back. However, there was something missing. The new home didn’t allow people to do what they do best – sharing files.

This motivated a group of staffers to create a new “Demonoid” torrent site. Not to replace the old one, but to have a familiar torrent site again that looks and feels like their old home. With help from old crew members who offered servers, coding skills, and graphic design, Dnoid.to was born.

“Demonoid has a really massive user base, many of them are fans just like me, and just seeing the look of Demonoid feels like a ‘home’ to thousands,” Demonoid staffer ‘phaze1G’ tells TorrentFreak, commenting on the new site.

Back..

While Dnoid.to looks identical to the old Demonoid, it’s completely different under the hood. It’s built on a new database which means that users have to sign up for a new account. In addition, the new site doesn’t operate a tracker either.

Dnoid.to doesn’t aim to be a replacement of the original site. It’s basically just a magnet index with a Demonoid skin that allows users to add new links. There are no torrents hosted on the site itself.

For the time being anyone can join the site, as registrations are open. However, these may close in the future, to keep spammers and other types of abuse at bay.

The purpose of the new site isn’t to become the next big torrent site. It’s to honor Demonoid’s legacy and also in part to keep scammy sites from taking over the brand.

“The point is not to compete with the original Demonoid or to be above other public torrents sites. It’s just to keep a memory of Demonoid and its founder Deimos, who is well-known around old folks and who set really high standards for torrent communities ever since 2003,” phaze1G says.

“Demonoid always had a special spot in people’s hearts. Keeping a memento of it without letting others ruin it by making copycats and phishing sites from it is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to him and keeping his legacy alive.”

Sadly it won't be the same as the original. 

Not the same but better maybe 😃. It will take some time to get it back on track with same legacy I hope so.

1000s of people  saw that patebin link because it was posed on Newspost on the new site  , you will have to a get a invite some other way or wait tel they open it back up.

 

It's not better than the old one at lest the old one let  you download new torrents without signing in. And the whole thing about having to sign in on public tracker is crazy . You can just use a DHtT search engine and find  anything they upload on there . Only way you can not be crawled is if you are a private tracker.

 

Proof:  Screen Shot of one  the DHtT search engines i have saved

They posted like a 100 more invites  on there Newspost  today i'm telling you  most stuff they have posted movies and music can be found  at TGx  and  1337x and those books they be uploading  the guy who upload them have his own website with direct dl links  . Nothing worth signing in for and I  joined just to see what they posted  , So far they have the uploaders from TGx  and that guy that own bookflare.net on there maybe they will  get some more uploaders latter on because for now other sites have way more and you don't need to sign into too see what they posting. The 1st site  they had way back years ago  was  the 1st torrent site i ever used .:tooth:

Good of you to clarify what's happening over there mate. I was a member of the original since 2005. Upped a lot, downloaded a lot...you know the score, but after my initial excitement yesterday I have decided not to bother keep trying invite codes and messing about that way.

Now that I know I can get everything elsewhere and much more elsewhere also, then there really is no point.

I think I will stick to the other publics for some of the audiobooks and stuff and the many private trackers for niche...oh and of course cinemageddon just because :tooth: .
That book site, hadn't heard of it 😉  .. although those are ten a penny these days. Another change with filesharing compared to the old days...PDF DL sites! (Those are one thing I LIKE about the modern filesharing though!)

No worries. I checked Demonoid earlier today and found that this new (third) list of codes had just been provided a couple hours before my visit.

I hope y'all enjoyed it.

Let me know if someone needs an invite, but I will only givie it to members with at least 120 reputation points and over two hundred posts.
