Sept 6, 2011 -- Demonoid is down (and has been for a while)

I haven't found any direct articles or comments from Demonoid as to why they are down, however I have dug up some suspicious evidence:

  • The US Government spent over $100k teaching 30 officials in Ukraine how to attack private torrent sites (http://torrentfreak.com/fbi-ifpi-teach-how-to-bust-private-torrent-sites-110902/)
  • IFPI is setting up stings too (http://torrentfreak.com/wikileaks-ice-ifpi-infiltrate-pirate-topsites-110905/
  •  It just so happens that Demonoid is hosted in Ukraine as well... smells fishy to me! 
 Here comes big brother and the wrath of IFPI!
