Last words of a great and popular Bittorrent tracker site. For those not involved in the back alleys of the internet, torrent is a popular peer to peer file sharing technology. It is primarily used in transferring pirated software, music, movies and other digital properties.

There are a dime a dozen torrent trackers, what Demonoid got right is its well maintained database and its invite only membership scheme that keeps things organized. You can find everything from some obscure LAN Instant messaging software to the hottest games. Everyone I know loved Demonoid and was the torrent source of choice. But like Piratebay, Oink or even Napster, that came before Demonoid, someone else will always rise up. Mininova, are you up for it?

The pirate king is dead! Long live the pirate king!

note: Pirate at your own risk.
