Popular torrent-tracking website Demonoid was taken down recently in a combined effort by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry and Interpol. For those hoping to see the website rise from the ashes, the way other torrent websites have in the past, there is sad news. Three key domains from Demonoid are now up for sale on domain marketplace Sedo. The domains are demonoid.me, demonoid.com and demonoid.ph.Demonoid was ranked among the top 600 websites in global traffic, and among the top 300 in U.S. traffic. The Ukraine-based torrent-tracking site was taken down earlier this month when local authorities contacted Colocall, Demonoid’s service provider, and forced it to shut down its servers. Demonoid was included in the “Notorious Markets List” of websites, which was created in the United States to keep track of “markets, including those on the Internet, which exemplify the problem of marketplaces dealing in infringing goods and helping sustain global piracy,” according to Cnet.
