Torrent News Demonoid Down again
With a small pause, the Canadian based tracker Demonoid is being reported as being down again, and this time for the count. The notice on the demonoid site today is stating that the CRIA threatened the ISP, and that is pretty much so that until Demonoid can find a new home or country in which to do operations in.
The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. Source: Demonoid front page
What is interesting is that all the tracker shutdowns are resulting in a higher use of encryption in Bittorrent clients and servers. Torrent Freak and The Register both claim that the use of encryption is up significantly for users who are using Bittorrent. This has an added side bonus of confusing a lot of folks who do the monitoring and capturing of who is downloading what.
