.....||||| The Top 35 Torrent Sites of 2009 |||||........

As of September 30, 2009, the most popular torrent search engine sites are listed below. This list is assembled from weekly reader email suggestions, and is updated every several days. You are welcome to submit your own torrent suggestions to be included in this list.


This list is in random order. Special thanks to the many About.com readers who write each week to help keep this list current.

1. Mininova.org Mininova is the successor to Suprnova, one of the original big torrent databases of the Web.
   
2. Meganova.org
   which has been rebranded as "Seed Peer"
   
3. Torrentz.com
   (special thanks to reader, Jonathan R., for this link)
   
4. Bitsoup
   Bitsoup is a growing favorite amongst P2P downloaders.
   
5. Torrentmatrix.com
   
6. FullDLS.com
   
7. Plentyoftorrents: this is a kind of launchpad search engine that offers choices where you want to search.
   
8. bittorrent.com
   (the official Torrent website by Bram Cohen, the designer of the Python BitTorrent format.)
   
9. 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)
   
10. Scrapetorrent.com is another torrent meta-search engine that is gaining popularity.
    
11. Fenopy (formerly Bitoogle.com)
    (the 'original' bittorrent search engine, which has now morphed
    into a metasearch engine. The results from your Bitoogle searches will
    point to various other torrent search sites. This site has been
    redirected recently.)
    
12. Torrents.to
    
13. Special mention: Gpirate.com
    (A newer torrent search engine that several readers are very fond of.)
    
14. Special mention: TuxDistro.com
    (For legal linux torrents and virtual machines.)
    
15. 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. Unfortunately, the
    owners have had to move the site because of legal/financial pressures.
    We hope to see it back soon.)
    

1. BTjunkie
   
   
2. Isohunt.com
   Currently in a legal dispute with the Canadian Recording
   Industry Association, Isohunt is a longtime favorite of P2P users. The
   community at Isohunt also helps police abuse within their network, and
   reader comments and votes help to identify those torrents which should
   be avoided.
   
3. 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.
   
4. Demonoid.com
   is back online! After legal conflicts in April of 2008, they have
   reestablished themselves outside of the USA. Demonoid is still a
   private community, and members are held liable for any leeching that
   their invited friends do in this community. If you are lucky enough to
   get a Demonoid membership, invite your friends carefully, lest you lose
   your own membership.
   
5. Entertane: An obscure-but-good metasearch engine. Pore through eight other torrent sites quickly by using Entertane.com
   
6. Flixflux: a United Kingdom torrent site that is very popular with European downloaders
   
7. Vertor:
   this torrent service claims to filter out bad torrents, viruses, DRM
   locks, passwords, and fakes. Many readers are pleased with Vertor, and
   thus far their service has been exemplary. Definitely give Vertor a try.
   
8. Thunderbytes: As of July 2009, Thunderbytes is a family-friendly site with content that is good for kids and parents.
   
9. Torrent Root:
   another metasearch engine, Torrent Root will pore through other search
   engines on your behalf, and display the results in a slick tabbed
   interface for your easy browsing. WARNING: the Torrent Root web page
   has recently been infected by scareware and phishing viruses. The
   webmasters seem to have purged the infection, but fair warning: with
   any P2P browsing, protect yourself by installing a reliable antivirus like Avira.
   
10. The Pirate Bay
    
    News Flash, April 18, 2009: the Stockholm district court has
    sentenced the four Pirate Bay founders to a year in prison, and over
    $USD 3.5 million in fines. This is as punishment for violating their
    country's copyright laws. More on this shocking court ruling here...
    
11. Torrentportal.com
    
12. Sumo Torrent:
    Like many torrent sites lately, Sumo is powered by adult ads. But
    several readers have reported that they like the data visibility of the
    torrent results at Sumo.
    
13. Zoozle.org: a competent German search engine for finding specific files, cracks, and serials.
    
14. YouTorrent.com
    Still in beta testing format, this new torrent site claims to be the
    largest legal torrent search engine today. Accordingly, the result sets
    are much smaller than the "pirate" counterparts, but definitely try
    this site for yourself.
    
15. Torrentscan.com
    (a "meta-search" engine, which is a search engine that searches other search engines)
    
16. H33T: Don't let the plain site design fool you: this newer torrent site has gotten very positive reviews from About.com readers.
    
17. BiteNova
    (formerly known as “Bi-Torrents”, BiteNova is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.)
    
18. Torrentengine.co.cc: a very spartan-looking torrent engine, with very fast results and and icons that denote verified sources.
    
19. 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.)
    
20. TorrentTyphoon.com
    (this database is up for sale, if anyone is interested in running a torrent service)
