Well, the title says it all ... demonoid has been hijacked. Whenever you go to the site, it's Google. Try it yourself ... http://www.demonoid.com/

Edit: It does not direct itself to Google now, but now there is a "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.

Demonoid.com was charged with copyright infringement by the MPA. They are down all right maybe for good.

Thanks for the information...

I can see how Demonoid can get shut down (*shudder*), but even so, I can't see how legal authorities would properly be involved in hijacking a site and directing it to Google. Maybe if it said, "This site has been shut down..." or something like that.

I just hope Demonoid gets back up, Suprnova was a loss enough already!! :(

Site is down, doesnt meant the tracker is. Two seperate things. Just have to find a way to find the torrents.

You had to include that or you couldn't upload.
Another good ratio goes to shit.
