Demonoid was launched on April 21, 2003 and is now one of the largest private trackers on the internet. A couple of years ago, Demonoid was a public tracker; no registration was required. But now it's completely private, meaning you need and invite to register to the site and to download torrents.

It is now the 499th most popular ranked site by Alexa, and has over 3 million peers in total. It was first created by a Serbian only known as "Deimos". He retired as administrator of the site on April 10, 2008 and one of his closest friends, Umlauf, replaced him.

Demonoid's server was first hosted in the Netherlands, but was threatened by the Bescherming Rechten Entertainment Industrie Nederland, and had to move to Canada. They were threatened again, this time by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. On November 9, 2007, Demonoid was shut down.

The site was finally opened again on April 10, 2008 and a new administrator was assigned. Demonoid is now hosted in Ukraine.
