Some of you may have noticed that Torrent tracker giant Demonoid.com went back into business yesterday. First I would just like to say to the Demonoid crew, Welcome Back, you have been sorely missed by myself and many others. Also, I’d like to say that it’s sad to see Deimos himself go, hope things work out for you bro.

Now this warm welcome back comes with a bit of speculation on my part. That is to say, can Demonoid last? There have been so many other sites that have stepped up to fill the void when they went down. Some have come and gone (Oink.cd) some have revamped their current service to become stronger than ever (Pirate Bay) and many more private ratio trackers have sprung out of the demise of Oink. (what.cd, waffles.fm, swebits, etc.) So at this point, can Demonoid restore itself to its former glory? The answer in my opinion is that only time will tell.

That said, I wish them the best of luck, and I can’t wait to start using their site again. Private trackers are nice and all, but can be a major pain due to the amount of work you have to put back into them (i.e. surfing requests pages endlessly to find something actually WORTH uploading so that your ratio doesn’t dwindle and get you banned).
