Demonoid simply rulezzz, enough said

this was at their homepage

Welcome back!

A few months ago, the site administrator (known as Deimos), lacked the time necessary to maintain this website. And for personal reasons, Deimos decided to resign his position as a member of the site staff.

Before leaving, Deimos picked a new site administrator from among his friends. The old moderator team remained unchanged and will continue helping with the site. The Demoniod team will try to keep everything running just as it always has been.

The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. If we work on any problems over the next few days, the site might be going on and offline. We apologize in advance if this should happen.

Welcome back and enjoy!

Demonoid site admin

seems a bit sussed to me what if their just using the site to track you

Not really.
What’s clear is that it is implied, deliberately, that TPB is somehow responsible for
giving the author a virus, thus users should stay away from TPB.
Silly, since many of the same torrents are tracked by demonoid as well.
Why don’t we all continue to fight amongst ourselves, like the labels want us too ?

What the labels hate the most about us … we cooperate and cooexist, even when there is
no money to be made. They don’t understand this concept and thats why they can’t fight it.
If we start acting like them, chewing each other up like rabid wolves, they don’t need to
fight us.

I like the Demonoid interface better.
I like pirate bay as well.
I use both.
BOTH are excellent, reliable sources for legal content.

The risk of virii is the SAME for both.
The way to protect yourself is the SAME for both.
Surf smart, and carefully.

I think that its quite clear that when i say ‘i got a virus from tpb’ i mean i got a virus from a torrent file that was indexed and tracked by TPB, implying that the people who should be finding fakes/viruses are either not doing their job, or are simply overwhelmed by the number of fakes and virii on the site. On the other hand, demonoid has never (in my experience) had that problem. Either people don’t upload fakes/virii (as much) to demonoid, or its fakefinder people are better.

Either way, i like demonoid better.

Happy dayz again !!

No, you have not gotten a virus from TPB!
If at all then you got it from some malicious user that was unknown to you, but you got no content from TPB.

Even Microsoft explains that “for dummies to understand” with the sandwich analogy in their 10 Immutable Laws of Security

P.S: I hope at least you reported the malicious user afterwards so that the user could be banned!
P.S. P.S : Someone can have a bit more confidence if the torrent creator has a green skull for being a VIP/TRUSTED Uploader.
