Go try TPB or just search what music you want on google and type torrent at the end its simple really i do this when ever i can not find certain albums on private torrent sites only if its mainly a discography but if its just the odd album i would just download it in a rar format from mediafire or somewhere else thats not a torrent

Have your antivirus Scan it?
I'll PM you some stuff in a bit, see if it helps you.

Unlikley. Music has not a prime target in (it seems like) around 7 years or so due to security advances. If you get an exe then you should not click on it of course. But infecting a music file is to much work than its worth. The only way you could POSSIBLY get infected through a music file is if you were to use winamp and someone was targeting that specific build. Seems there is always a code execution vulnerability in it.

I can give you an invite to torrentday if you want one. Just keep your ratio >= 1.0

I've got a few torrents that I'm still in the DL process with, and the only tracker for these torrents is a single demonoid one. I hope this isn't a permanent shutdown like megaupload. I REALLY want these torrents...

They're not 'down'. The server is just overloaded. Try again later.

Sorry Ryudo, but this article begs to differ:


"It started as a DDoS but then it caused a series of problems," Demonoid's admin told TorrentFreak. "These problems need to be fixed before the site can go back up, and it’s a complicated fix this time. There might have been an attack from another angle, an exploit of sorts, but it’s hard to tell right now without a full check of everything. Our human resources became limited in the last few months. All tech issues are handled just by me now and there is no one else to take the job. I’ll fix the site as soon as possible, but it might be a while this time."

It's currently unclear whether or not the attack against Demonoid was anti-piracy related. Either way, Demonoid's users have to find an alternative for their downloading needs while they wait for its return.

There are articles just like that one floating around the web, though most of them still believe Anon was behind the attack (which both Demonoid and Anon have denied). To be honest, I'm just a little worried. If the DDoS was just a distraction (as word on the web has been saying) then there could be other things waiting for us when the site finally does come back up. Whenever you guys start visiting again, watch out for new trackers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the TPB attacker was behind this one as well. He claims to hate Anon, which is why he DDoS'ed TPB (which he says is one of Anon's main outlets). So there's no reason not to hit Demonoid, since Anon loves it just as much.
