Ty; forbiddeen
the most popular Bit Torrent search engine sites are listed below.
This list is selected from hundreds of reader email suggestions, and is
updated weekly. You are welcome to submit your suggestions for
inclusion into this list.
This list is in random order. Special thanks to the many About.com readers who help keep this list current via their email submissions.
- BiteNova
(formerly known as “Bi-Torrents”, BiteNova is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.)
- Isohunt.com
September, 2007: Isohunt is barring American users from connecting
to American torrent trackers. American users, however, can still use
Isohunt to find torrents, and connect to third party trackers.
- Torrentscan.com
(a "meta-search" engine, which is a search engine that searches other search engines)
- Torrentspy.com
March 24, 2008: Torrentspy has voluntarily closed its doors. Instead of
conforming to the American court mandates to change their privacy
policies, the Torrentspy team has opted instead to cease operations. A
sad day for downloaders everywhere.
- Torrentportal.com
- Bitsoup
Bitsoup is a growing favorite amongst P2P downloaders. As the
trend towards private torrent sharing continues, you will need to
signup and join as a member to participate in the Bitsoup swarm.
- LegalTorrents.com (As the name implies, this is a database of public-domain content. Thanks to Anand S. for this URL.)
- Snarf It! (born from previous Suprnova influences)
- Torrentz.com
(special thanks to reader, Jonathan R., for this link)
- Torrents.to
- Torrentmatrix.com
- Mininova.org
has 190,000 torrents indexed as of April, 2007. Mininova is the
successor to Suprnova, one of the original big torrent databases of the
Web.
- FileMP3.org
- TorrentBytes.net
- Torrentreactor.to
(Torrentreactor has made a comeback from a hijacking and an
uncooperative hosting service. They have moved to a different server
setup and a Tonga country domain outside the USA. Read the details on
their home page.)
- Torrentbox.com FYI:
like Isohunt, Torrentbox is being sued by the MPAA as of February 28,
2006. The days for this fine search engine may be numbered.
- BTjunkie
- TorrentTyphoon.com
(a unique bittorrent meta-search engine that searches several of
the most popular sites. Unfortunately, it does not do a good job
categorizing the torrent files themselves)
- Yotoshi.com
- The Pirate Bay
(Pirate Bay, by readership size, is the most popular torrent search
site today. Pirate Bay has an immense database of 600,000+ torrents,
the largest database at this time.)
(May 31, 2006: The Pirate Bay has been shut down by Swedish authorities. Details are available on the Pirate Bay home page.)
(June 2006:
The Pirate Bay has restarted operations, now that the police have
duplicated the PB hard drives for forensic purposes. Enjoy this
database while it is still around, folks!)
- FullDLS.com
- TopTorrents
(has been down intermittently the last few weeks for unknown reasons.)
- Meganova.org
- ByTorrents Meta Search
- Torrent-damage.net
- Scrapetorrent.com
is another torrent meta-search engine that is gaining popularity.
- Thinktorrent.com
- FileList.org
- Torrentlocomotive
(special thanks to Juan)
- BTbot.com
(this site has been intimidated into listing fewer and fewer current
torrents. The administrator was likely spooked by the recent wave of
lawsuits against Isohunt and Pirate Bay)
- Special mention: Torrents.co.uk (This British site has been slow to load lately)
- Special mention: LokiTorrent.com
(In a precedent-setting MPAA civil law suit, Loki has been shut down by
court order as of Feb 10, 2005. To add insult to injury, the MPAA has
left a trashy saber-rattling message at the lokitorrent home page in an
attempt to intimidate other P2P users. P2P users everywhere are
mourning the loss of this excellent service, and the MPAA is estranging
even more Internet users with its heavy-handed campaign.)
- Special mention: Commonbits.com
(This new beta search site is dedicated to media on progressive
political content: audio, video, photos, reports, transcripts and other
files. This is a place for activists to share their message, and for
people to learn about other political choices.)
