Demonoid (Green Demon) is one of the oldest semi-private trackers that still exists amongst the private tracker community. It launched on the 21st of April, 2003, when private trackers were almost unheard of and had grown a huge following over the years, finally landing itself as second largest tracker back in 2008. Due to legal threats from the authorities as well as multiple server issues over the years, Demonoid's tracker had been on a short leash, going on and off over months at times. Details on issues that had plagued Demonoid can be found here. As of December 13th, 2009, the tracker is back online with promises to stay for good. Below is an updated review of Demonoid as it finally came back online.

This Site, is Pretty Much like a Public Tracker, With a Lot of members..
They Open Few times a Year, and Speeds are Nothing Special..
It's Perfect for your First Tracker..

Community - Friendly And Clean

Navigation - 10/10 - Very self explanatory and categorized very neatly and efficiently

Speed - Excellent - Most of my personal downloads average a solid 1 Mb/s and have many many seeders

It has some advantages over other private general tracker if you balance the content and the ease of getting in , not mentioning that ratio doesn't matter too much . Anyway I find a lot of stuff from different fields , even some rare stuff and if you stay seeding your ratio will stay high even if it's not that important. Don't know about speed, my maximum download speed is aprox. 600 kB/s and in 70-80% of the cases it's downloading with my maximum speed.
One problem though , in the past 2-3 months when I'm trying to upload, somtimes, it deletes the torrent automatically and it can be a pain in the "aham", it's a problem that a lot of people has it and the administrators doesn't seem to be able or have the time to resolve it. So thats a minus for demonoid :),maybe they were busy migrating the site to "demonoid.me"( this is the new address), so maybe now they'll have tim to fix this problem.

Demonoid has a lot of content that other general trackers don't. If I can't find something through my regular trackers, Demonoid almost always comes through for me.

A semi-private ratioless tracker with a LARGE number of torrents...it doesn't have the fastest speeds, but it makes up in content...

Demonoid is a semi private but not a ratio less tracker. Its one of the oldest general trackers in the BT world.

Demonoid Ratio of 10 + dedicated seedbox will get you any invite on this site. You can survive with just 1 tracker. Thats my opinion though.

Demonoid is a great tracker. The only disadvantage is that it is a semi-private tracker and I have heard people claim they have gotten cease/desist letters after downloading files from there.

However, Demonoid has a ton of content and if I can't find files on other trackers, Demonoid will typically have it.
