A news announcement was posted on the home page announcing new administration, explaining that Deimos left the site due to personal issues.

Demonoid was a hub for distribution when photographs of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[5] leaked. The torrents leaking the book were removed, but had already spread to other websites.
