Demonoid is a BitTorrent tracker and website founded in 2003 to facilitate file-sharing related discussion and provide a searchable index of torrent files. The site underwent intermittent periods of extended downtime in its history due to the occasional need to move the server, generally caused by cancellation of ISP service due to local political pressure.[1]
Reports announced the accidental death of its founder Deimos in August 2018. Following the event, the website was closed on September 17, 2018.[2][3] In July 2019, Demonoid staffers launched a new version of the website to revive the project.[4]
