ScrapeTorrent that lets you search multiple torrent sites at once. That’s an easy way to find music and movie torrents, but it’s also worthwhile to know the big players in the torrent search arena. Below are the five best torrent search engines that I know of!
1. Mininova.org is one of the classic resources of uploaded torrent seeds. It remained among other competing websites because it has a simple yet effective interface. At its homepage is a categorized list of torrents being downloaded on that day.
If you need to get the hottest torrents, just visit their home page and look for a torrent you want. This is my favorite torrent site because it displays the top torrents daily – this is good for finding the latest episodes of TV shows or the latest music albums. I don’t like how the ads load more slowly than the main content. I wish Mininova chose another ad server with faster load time.
2. Thepiratebay.org is perhaps the most popular torrent site for illegal software downloaders, thepiratebay.org is also the most legally threatened. This site has claimed the title of having the largest bittorrent tracker. The site has a Google-like search interface with checkboxes that enables filtering on specific file types.
3. isoHunt.com unlike mininova.org offers multi-tracker indexing so it provides a combined listing of torrents found on multiple other torrent index sites. In theory it could give you more search results than a non-multi tracker site. It’s weakness however is its poor listing interface which they are trying to fix with a sort by date (latest) or popularity. If you could take its interface, you could enjoy their resource of almost 4 million active torrents and 500 indexed sites.
4. btjunkie.org is another one of them who claims to be the largest and most advanced BitTorrent search engine. At the main page is the most popular torrents on all categories it has stats on the comments with the green metric displaying the number of commenter who liked the torrent file.
5. Torrentz.com My list is simply not complete without torrentz.com. With its tag cloud display at the main page it is easy to see which torrent files are popular in the Net. Unlike other torrent sites, torrentz.com is only a meta-tracker – it only search other search engines. So why is it in my top 5 list? It his here because it lists quality torrent content from several sites. Also, it doesn’t use ads on its page. Their help page says “Corporations running ads are evil”.
I am sure you have your own favorite torrent search engine. Post them on the comments section.
