Demonoid down, maybe for good!

Well the popular bit torrent site, Demonoid, appears to be down again and this time for good. Here is the latest story:
http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/11/demonoid-torren.html
This really pisses me off. I sincerely hope this is a temporary set back. In the meantime, does anyone recommend an alternate site that is just as good? I really like the features of Demonoid in their search feature and frequent comments. Is there a site that compares or is even better?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news folks.

Yeah I saw that when I got up this morning. Really started my day of well... 
I've been using mininova and isohunt today but I'm not the biggest fan of either one of them, so I'd also like to know of some other good demonoid-ish sites.

i think we just might have to settle with these until a demonoid or oink prodigy pops up.

I wouldn't be too worried about the lifespan of bit torrents. There will always be sites that track electronic files, just as there will always be air to breath.
Well, let's hope anyways. 
You know what, we should all download a movie, music file, or application today to honor Demonoid's demise. Fuck the man!

They're obviously not hosting in Sweden. Honestly, if you have a country abailable where it's not illegal to do something, why pick a country where it is illegal?

That's what they say every time some new encryption technology is introduced, yet they still find ways to break the codes. The only way illegal downloading will stop is when they change the manner in which it can be delivered or copied.
I don't see it happening in our lifetime.
P.S. I have already downloaded Chuck and Larry, but I'll find something.

They deserve it, for not hosting in Sweden The Pirate Bay has long established their immunity due to hosting in Sweden.

I thought they did host in sweden but were forced to move to canada due to legal problems over there too?
