Demonoid update. Site lost backup. Will probably be a prolonged downtime.

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

demonoid-logoDemonoid, everyones favorite bittorrent site has been down for close to a month now. It is begging to look like it may be awhile before we can get back to using the engine.
They posted this message on their site yesterday:

Maintenance

We will be back as soon as possible, but this will probably be a prolonged downtime.
Thank you for your patience

Status

The site will return as soon as possible, but there was a problem that caused data loss and the person who can help us get the data back is not able to help at this moment. The site will return when we can get his help

A loss of a some months worth of activity including registered users and torrent submissions is to be expected because the backup we are hoping to get back is not up to date, so please be prepared for it

So it looks like i’m on to find other sites for awhile. Torrentfreak reported the site would be down for days awhile back but this looks like it could be longer.

Got this email a couple days ago:

Congratulations! You are confirmed as a Windows® 7 Launch Party host.

Windows® 7 is about to launch worldwide, but you’ll be receiving a limited Signature Edition of Windows® 7, before the worldwide release date.

Relax, this is a party, not a sales presentation, and you’ll get the most out of it by checking out the Host Help Videos and going to the Windows 7 Launch Party.

Just choose a party theme from Setting Up With Ease, Family Friendly Fun, Media Mania, or PhotoPalooza — you’ll find them fun, full of great Windows® 7 tips, and they will get you well on your way to becoming a Windows® 7 expert. Your guests will appreciate that. You can also watch the videos for all the themes so you can show your guests whatever interest them.

Get into the party spirit and be the first to upload photos and videos, and post comments to PartyTalkâ„¢, the House Party blog.

It’s time to invite your guests!

Use the FREE Guest Manager tool on your party site to quickly send invitations via email for the party theme you choose. Then your guests can join your online site when they RSVP.

Also remember to tell your guests to visit your exclusive party site. There will be lots of info to share.
Thanks for hosting a Windows® 7 Launch Party.

Looks like the version they are sending can be used as 32-bit or 64-bit.

For your convenience both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows® 7 Ultimate are included in your Windows® 7 Launch Party Packs

* The 32-bit version is the Signature Edition of Windows® 7 Ultimate in the black sleeve.

* The 64-bit version is included in the white sleeve.

The 25 character product key included in the inside left panel of the 32 bit Signature Edition (black sleeve) should be used for either 64 or 32 bit installation. The key is only good for one installation.

For some reason the video loops twice so you can stop after the first one unless you want your mind blown twice.
