p2pnet news | P2P:- Is Demonoid back? Or isn’t it?

Yesterday, “BitTorrent tracker Demonoid’s normal service has almost resumed,” I posted, “almost” because we Canadians saw only a message saying Demonoid was an apparent victim of the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association of America).

CRIA triumphs are so paltry and so few and far between that whenever one occurs, its PR hacks are immediately on the job firing out fictional ‘news’ releases which are inevitably repeated as fact by the lamescream media.

But so far, there’s been nothing about Demonoid and the site is repeating message which first appeared yesterday:

The latest changes to the site are giving us some problems – We’ll
be back soon

And that applies with or without proxies.

As a number of emails and several posts point out, demonoiders is featuring a Guide for Canadians wanting to access Demonoid via proxy, not that it’s much use at the moment.

But anyway, it says:

I have put together a few pieces of advice for you guys on accessing the site and forums via a proxy. It covers casual use and also a more serious approach (using a shell account). Here we go…

Casual users: Some proxies have been mentioned elsewhere. They are;

1. roboproxy

2. http://www.hideu.net

3. proxyninja

4. http://tools.rosinstrument.com/cgi-proxy.htm

5. http://temp12.co.uk/

6. http://anonymizer.nntime.com/

Another excellent and fast proxy is;

http://www.fastbypass.com

Note to all readers: This is a request to post ONCE and make a list of reliable proxies and keep it updated. Any posts which double up can be deleted by me or another mod every so often. Volunteers please step forward…

Meanwhile, the story continues to unfold and with a bit of luck, we’ll have an interesting update a little later in the day.

So stay tuned.
