For the last couple of weeks, Demonoid hasn’t been accessible from Germany. Over on TorrentFreak we’ve had lots and lots of emails asking us what’s been happening – was Germany being blocked on purpose?

Sadly, due to the fact that the Demonoid operators aren’t exactly talkative, it’s always difficult to confirm these things. However, we did pass a message yesterday morning to a Ukranian blogger who has a contact at Demonoid’s host.

Either by coincidence or design, a few hours later German Demonoid users could access the site again…….

And finally, anyone who still hasn’t got a Demonoid account is in for a treat today. Head over to the site by clicking here and in the top right hand corner you’ll see that signups are open. They probably won’t stay that way for long.

“We are experiencing power outages that have caused some ram and hard drive issues. We might have to shut down everything to fix and prevent further damage,” Demonoid’s operators wrote several days ago and today they shut the site down temporarily.

“We will be back as soon as possible, but this will probably be a prolonged downtime. Thank you for your patience,” visitors can read on the Demonoid home page.

How long the downtime will take has not been announced, but we hope it’s shorter than the six months downtime they had in 2008.
