DEMONOID IS NOW BACK ONLINE

The popular file-sharing site, Demonoid, down since September, is now back online. Enigmax of TorrentFreak.com reports: “Around 1:30 am EST, Demonoid reappeared and started accepting logins from registered users.”
A note on the Demonoid site says: “Hello! We are currently testing the newly written code. More downtime is hopefully not necessary, but might be a possibility. Welcome back, we missed you!”
The good news, apart from the return of the site, is that there appears to be little data loss. In September, Demonoid went down with overwhelming hardware problems and the site owners forecast severe data loss. Some user data and torrent files were predicted to be lost forever and the site’s code had been seriously damaged. In respect of the concerns over data loss, it appears that the latest database entries run to Friday, September 11, 2009.
One Demonoid user said: “I was able to log in just fine on my first attempt with correct ratio as well.” As the site deals with various issues, it became a little unstable around two to three hours after its initial return and then went down again around 4:00 am EST.
Although Demonoid’s RSS feeds aren’t functioning, the site appears to be running again, and displaying their famous demon logo all decked out in a santa hat.
And for fans, Demonoid’s timely return offers a good chance to share some festive joys.
