Demonoid

Registrations are open.

Get onto it.

nice. thanks mate.

FUCK!

missed the fucking fuck.

fuck

I got in, I'll give you an invite when I am able.

SHIT!

If anyone has a free invite laying around I'd appreciate it 

cheers for the offer, someone else has just helped me out...

headache looks like he'd get on his knees for an invite code though

Bezz sorted me out with one, however when I registered I didn't get a confirmation/account e-mail. According to their FAQ I should try registering again with a different e-mail address, which I tried only to get a message saying invite code has already been used.

I tried getting onto the forums to get some help, however it seems you need an activated account to view them.

Guess I'm screwed then haha.

I got in. When I get some invites I'll give you a yell.

Same here, someone sent me an invite ages ago.  I asked Bezz for one recently, he better have one left!

PM sent.

Now get on your knees bitch.

i sent you another one

i joined. what the fuck do i do next? what is good about this site?

Legend!

Assisted poomast?

Has anybody had any luck with registering an account with a hotmail address? It said on the site not to so I used my ISP email and obviously didn't have much luck.

I used my hotmail. Worked fine for me.

I have a demonoid account. if anyone wants an invite, I can provide

i used gmail to register mine.

Still have a couple invites too if anyone wants one.. does anyone know how many I'm able to generate? Done 4 so far!

Sweet, worked second time round with a hotmail account

thx Kurko, ill give it another try later

so i have a couple of torrents coming down atm and it keeps dropping out, my other non demonoid torrents are flying. what is the story?

Demonoid sucks?

that's what i am trying to work out.

Haha. I think the deal with Demonoid is they usually get good quality rips of interesting stuff. I find a lot of the good hard to find stuff I download always comes with one of those demonoid text files.

I thought the bonus of being a member was they had shit-hot seeder ratios and all, hmmm.

Timbot what internet company are you with?

Ever tried newsgroups? I get 10g for free with Adam - full speed downloads and no need to upload. Perfect for getting completely legal Linux distro's and stuff. Entourage takes under 4mins per ep, if you were into that kind of thing...

that's what i was expecting.


tpg but seriously considering getting the fuck out of there.


i masturbate over that kind of thing.

will look in to adam internet, either that or internode but the latter did seem expensive last time i checked.

Newsgroups are fiddly to setup though. I had them going when Node provided them, which they then took away because it's a leecher paradise. I think they are back now!

Once it's setup it pretty much runs itself but it's still a bit of a headfuck when it comes to restoring incomplete pars and all that. I daresay Tim will get a bit frustrated...

 fuck yes newsgroups.

 Forgot all about them!

Word. There was nothing better than getting the latest Entourage/Weeds in -10 minutes. Quicker than going to a video store!

There's your problem. TPG are shit. Nearly everyone has problems torrenting on TPG. Check the forums if you want. They are a joke of an internet company. The forum itself is so unsecure that animal porn gets plastered all over it every night by bots. The whole time I was with TPG I was never able to torrent very succesfully.

mine flies here. it flew at my old house. no problems torrenting at all.

the only problem i have is ONE site won't let me join because i am behind a proxy. meh.

Why are you behind a proxy if you're connected with TPG?

it's how they roll. check out TPG on whirlpool - i wouldn't be able to explain it.

this is me from my wifi connection:

I like a program called Grabit as the client for accessing and downloading binaries. Quickpar is invaluable too for checking if you have the whole file and find what is missing if you don't.

I think that's all I used to use, it's a while ago now...

Check here for some tutorials, they apply to a different client called Newsbin but the principle is the same: http://www.newsbin.com/tutorials/v5.0/

you're not the only nerd i know thai boy 

Demonoid is more of a community (like AM). You can quite often find stuff on Demonoid that you may not be able to find elsewhere. It is great for user comments about quality, etc.

I usually check RLSLOG daily for any new scene releases then download them from the Pirate Bay but I still use Demonoid for any non scene release stuff.

ok cheers clever. i will check it now and then but i just thought that because you have to register it was going to be some wizz bang crazy torrent speeds.

Adam and Internode are around the same sort of price. I have used Internode in the past and am using Adam currently, but I only left Internode because Adam offered ADSL2+ at my exchange before Node did. Node were fantastic and so are Adam. Can't go wrong with either really.

I've always got super speeds from torrents I've grabbed off Scene Leech.

Demonoid has never been any faster than isohunt or Mininova for me. It has however had stuff I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

demonoid doesn't like some torrent clients - try switching.  vuze for mac, someone else can recommend a win client...  vuze is frickin awesome

Totally agree. Vuze has never let me down.

I've been using rtorrent for years.

vuze is the fucking bizzo, never let me down either. i switched a while back due to a recommendation from a mate and in that time could not download one torrent. vuze is so fucking simple.

yeah vuze is decent now. i wish i could select parts of a torrent to download like on utorrent though.

Right click > show details > files tab > right click > set priority > do not download

no faster way?

Can you do it when you add it? That's the part I like about Transmission.

rtorrent is faster!

Don't need a mouse either.

Guarantee you specifically Transmission will not work with Demonoid, AFAIK that's the only way to not grab files in Vuze

fair bit of dnb on demonoid 

Trasmission is working with Demonoid...

no porn = fail.

Anyone wanna chuck me an invite code?

Would be very much appreciated... 

PM sent

cheers dude 

INVITES ARE OPEN AGAIN IF YOU MISSED OUT BEFORE!!!

im yet to find anything that ive searched for.

is demonoid more for pron or games torrents or something?
im generally searching for music that might be a fe years/decade old and tv shows/the occasional hard to find film.

nowt...

I just use it as an extra site to find torrents.


Have managed to find some of the best stuff on demonoid.

Has anyone been having trouble logging in the last couple of days? Yesterday and today all I can get is the front page, once my username/password is entered the browser just loads to nothing. I was thinking they got taken down but the front page wouldn't work if that's the case.

 Works fine here.

Working fine for me.

works fine for me.

had nice 700+kb/s speeds last night on demonoid...

what.cd

This is probably the issue. It might be on a country basis or something seeing as you guys in Australia are still ok...for now.

how do you join that one then?

I've been after an invite for what.cd for yonks.

 I might have one soon hopefully. Will hook you up if so.

 It's a cool site however I just haven't been able get my ratio up at all so far. You have 5 gig grace though so i will just use that up.

Back of the net!

FUCK! I give a friend my login for a couple of movies, and he proceeds to screw my ratio with much more than a couple of movies and no sharing. No more Demonoid for me at the moment. Not happy. There is something I really need on there as well.

 On the forums it says multiple times that the ratio on demonoid doesn't mean anything.

 You wont get banned for leeching.

Sweet. Now to work out why u-torrent isn't downloading what I asked for, even though it has seeders.

Haha wow I totally didn't know that.  I'm officially never uploading anything to Demonoid again, 100GB is enough for one lifetime...

edit- wow, i've got a ratio over 4 and have uploaded over 100GB, yet have no invites... arseholes!

My ratio is consistently around the 3-4 mark too and steadily going up and I've never got an invite either!

Bastards! 

 You go into the control panel and request them. I gave one out the other week.

thanks for telling me how to use the invites that i already know how to use and hence know that i don't have any of

 I live to give.

Exactly.

I assume this means that it's based on age of teh account... How long have you had yours?  Mine isn't all that old...

I've asked for a good 15 invites over the past year and it has given me one each time.

My account is maybe 18 months old (if that) and my ratio is pretty shit.

 
 My account is maybe 6 months old. Ratio is about 1.3

I just went to create one then and again no worries.

If anybody wants a Demonoid invite code PM me because I have one sitting here right now. *Edit: Invite taken*
