i was on it a few days ago
Demonoid, one of the biggest torrent sites, was taken down on July 25 by a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Ukrainian officials then made sure the servers remained inaccessible, and now the owners are reportedly under criminal investigation in Mexico.
so they were taken down by ddos now theyre being investigated by mexican authorities and ukrainians?
seems its becoming harder and harder to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in todays screwed up world.

i'm sure theres a comeback that will involve being under the law involving handcuffs and truncheons, but I cant be bothered with it.

As far as I know that was the reason, but in light of this it does make you wonder!.
Not really used torrents for ages though, prefer newsgroups.
