d2.vu aka Demoniod

Does no one else find all this a tiny bit odd?

Demoniod was seized by the Feds but yet someone is actually stupid enough to restore the site from a backup taken before the site was seized, there's guys facing real jail time from the original site and I find the whole scenario really strange. If someone had this backup why not launch another tracker instead of painting a bullseye on themselves and getting unnessacary attention.

They claim their servers are hosted in Hong Kong but there really hosted in Germany and their domain is registered with godaddy in the USA of all places: )

I smell a rat here and think this is maybe an attempt by the USA to monitor bittorent traffic in a new and twisted way!!

What do the rest of you guys think about the situation?

yeah mate it's a bit weird and looks suspicious

its very suspicious, but even if this is real i never used demonoid, i think i downloaded 2 or 3 movies from there years ago, moved to private trackers for some time and ipt and tl are enough for me for what i need.

The admins who nothing to do with the new site..who where arrested and the Servers and Databse where taken..How did these users of this new site get hold of the database..users using it are mad and shocked to see invites been offerd and users takeing them..

I had an account on the old site but will never log into this new site, too many things just don't seem right.
The only way to get such info is from a backup of the server, I would love to know of anyone that signed up to Demoniod the day it was taken down, if this person also got a mail from the new Demoniod then this would be a giveaway something is not right I think

something fishy indeed...

Someone may have taken a backup?

Not like they needed to copy all the files - just the templates for the website itself?

How do we even though that this is the real backup?

i just recovered my old account via mail , so they have a real backup , but can be also stolen :p

It's definitely the real backup, this is not the case.
My point is no one is stupid enough to link themselves to Demoiod in any way, they could have easily started a new tracker and done a mass email to everyone in its data base. And anyone who is stupid enough to call themselves D2 (Demoniod 2) I will never activate my old account with, they will be made an example of by authorities and a lot of its users will also suffer.

That's if it really is a tracker

Maybe they do not have the servers in HongKong but they have old Demonoid database!!
They could be the real staff, some anti-piracy organisation or the guy who bought the database from the old demonoid owner

Probably if you log in, you will receive a lot of spam..

Here's a post from another website:


RE: DEMONOID BACK!.. kinda
there ARE a few of the original team there.
there were a bunch(about ten) people who did moderation of torrents and deleted porn, infected torrents, scam torrents and fakes.
These guys were NOT full admins bar two of them.
two of the guys are of the mod team and one was a full admin.
this is how they got access to the database.
what is strange to note is that there have been no uploads since the 9th May.
Now my former colleague is telling me over and over again that this is legit, and i do find that eases my fears however there is still a part of me that alarm bells are ringing in tbh.
considering the circumstances of it;s demise could it be that perhaps on some level , like admiral Ahkbar said "it's a trap!"
Also of note is that i had 4 accounts there. 3 normal downloader accounts and 1 other one.
the other one is obviously gone... but of the downloader ones.. only the two with the highest throughput(most activity) are left there.
Also of all my friends that had accounts there, only the ones with the same "profile" are still able to log in.
did other people who can still access have a lot of usage??
my main account had 34 torrents up and 1.8TB up and 1.5TB down and the other one still up had 800GB up and 750GB down.
what are other people's stats (if you remember) as it would be interesting to see if it's only the big users accounts that are still there??

I've checked this out and out of most of the accounts I had the ones with small buffer never got an email to activate again, think how much money they would generate if they went after members with a big buffer.

So this is really a new Demonoid or its a fake site to track people IP?

That's the million dollar question, only time will tell.

It's highly improbable that authorities are running a copy of an old tracker to get IPs. Just my 2 cents

Here's what's stated on Demonoid's official IRC channel (irc.p2p-network.net #demonoid):

d2.vu is not demonoid, not run by demonoid admin or staff, and should not be supported. The site could be used to collect your usernames/passwords for their own use. Use at your own risk.

Yeah Demoniod had a huge data base of users, I think this would be like gold to certain people looking to monitor bittorent activities.
I think invites and accounts should be banned on TI just to be on the safe side.
