demonoid was a semi-private torrent site. They had random registration periods throughout it's lifetime so you either had to get an invite or you had to sign up during one of the random free registration periods. It's currently down now
personally I liked demonoid but I also don't like open or semi-private torrent sites just because of the fact that with private torrent sites you know the government isn't tracking shit and you have a good amount of seeders on all torrents

I thought that was a good thing when the government can't track what you're doing?
Damn! If it gets back up again do you think you could hook me up?
ill see
demonoid is dead. What don't you get about the FBI raiding their servers, and arresting all the site owners, and confiscating their user databases? It is not coming back ever, unless the FBI brings it back online as a honeypot to catch more file sharers like you that can't wait for it to "come back". I'll not say this again- Even if demonoid comes back online, you should never download another torrent from there. If you have demonoid torrents in your client that you are "seeding" you need to delete them from your torrent client immediately. Wash your hands of demonoid and forget it ever existed.
And this is coming from someone who first got his Demonoid account in June-ish of 2003. I was a member in the first few months of it opening. I had an account for over 9 years. It's done. And was honestly always a risky place to download content from.

Also bianca- I did get into that new book site I was telling you about, and it is awesome! so great. And they have a "retail" tag that people can attach to their mobi and epubs, so you know the book came from a place like B&N or Amazon. It's awesome! It will be a while before I can get you in though.
You might be asking- How do I get into sites like this? Well let me tell you. When you get into a legit private site with a good reputation (like the ones I offer invites too), and you build up really good stats, and climb their user ranks, then they open up secret 'invite threads' in their forums. You can then go into these threads and other site owners will be offering invites to their sites if you have good stats and they are sure you are legit. So that's how I do it. First you have to find someone who can get you into the scene, then you need to build up a reputation for yourself, then you can get into other locked doors.

oh... okay. well- you could look into joining a Usenet site if you want. You have to pay money for those, but they are pretty safe and have a lot of content to download. Ideally what you do is get a lot of storage space, pay the 15/20 dollars for a month of use on a usenet site, then download everything you might possibly want over the next year, then cancel your membership.
I find it odd that the powers that be don't go after sites like that. They are busy taking on bit torrent people, when usenet is sitting there staring them in the face. That's where most of the content comes from anyways.
