Can you run the actual programs that support torrents through TOR? It would be nice to be able to run p2p software through a proxy.

Well, Demonoid has shut its doors for what SEEMS to be the final time, its doubtful they will be back as nobody can get hold of the creator of demonoid, meaning he’s probably involved in a battle with the isp and the shit head CRIA….

The demonoid site is hosted in Canada, by Canadians, yet only outside IP’s can access it? What a killer joke. I can tell you already that it will not last. Demonoid will move away from .ca and then you can all access the site again Perhaps some of us could provide mirrors for you.

I’ve seen multiple reports over the net with the same problem, and some are even cross-continental.

TF even reported that, on an update. Using proxies though, I guess I’m gonna have to switch to Mininova or TPB. Anyone know any other good torrent sites?

Maybe they blocked proxies?

What does it mean ‘The latest changes to the site are giving us some problems”?’

It says this even when accessing through a US proxy…

Any ideas?

We do NOT owe Ernesto an apologizing for doing the shoddiest reporting on the internet. He admitted it was pure specualtion instead of having an actaul source. IMO Torrentfreak is teh last place to go for any kind of news.

For those that are worried they won’t be able to surf Demonoid any longer, a lot of torrents that begin there usually end up on Mininova or other torrent sites eventually.

And the CRIAA guys are laffing like assholes

As for the CRIA, current laws say they don’t have any bite in Canada regarding filesharing. Seems somebody bent over and took it hard here when they didn’t have to.

isoHunt are only blocking access to their trackers from American IP’s only. I know, because I had to implement the ban.
It just blocks the torrentbox/pt hosted trackers, not the isoHunt website, nothing more.

“And whats with blocking Canadian users when it is LEGAL to download in Canada.”

Jon will follow up on this for sure. Stay tuned.
