And yet, Torrentz2 also manages to keep the old feel alive with a primary focus on music. You can even use the torrent search engine to find the eBooks and papers you need without digging through more niche and obscure torrent sites.
But being able to see the active seeders definitely makes it easier to find the right one to download! TorrentDownloads is a worthy addition to our list of the most reliable torrent sites, especially for finding obscure software.
The website which has been up since has a clean interface and an advanced search function , letting you search by category, status , and content. One downside is that there are some annoying and potentially malicious pop-ups. LimeTorrents , which launched in , has become one of the largest torrent sites and is considered another beginner-friendly option.
While newer torrents have many seeders, older ones tend to be forgotten , leading to frustratingly slow downloads. Zooqle is newer than most torrent sites on my list, having been launched in But it quickly made a name for itself as one of the most popular alternatives to ThePirateBay!
Part of the reason is that Zooqle has a n extensive database covering movies and series especially — though you can also find games, software, and eBooks.
This can potentially save you a search — though if not, the search bar will usually help you find it. And you might be surprised to hear that it only started up in as a replacement for the original Nyaa platform. Given the focus on anime video and audio, the site is understandably limited to content from China, Korea, and Japan for the most part.
Ultimately, the real reason I put Nyaa. One great thing about the site is that it covers many genres and includes old, obscure content and newer shows. In fact, it might be more accurate to call TorrentFunk an aggregator torrent site rather than a true torrent search engine. Rather than acting as a search engine would, TorrentFunk displays some torrents on its homepage.
You can also see extra info like its upload date, number of seeders, and who the original uploader is. This has the obvious advantage of helping you quickly find direct and magnet links to torrent files from other popular torrent sites , including those on this list!
As a last alternative to Torrentz2 and Torrends. An advantage of SolidTorrents is that it puts effort into ensuring it only shows torrents from credible sources.
One issue that pops up from time to time is that Chrome and Firefox browsers sometimes flag SolidTorrents as potentially unsafe. The last time this happened to me on the site which was quite a while ago, at least , the notification warned me that malicious links were detected. This is, of course, why I left SolidTorrents as 14 on my list of the most reliable torrent sites rather than as a higher-ranking Torrentz2 alternative.
My, how the mighty have fallen… YTS formerly known as Yify Movies used to deserve a top 5 best torrent sites position, but no longer. According to TorrentFreak. I strongly recommend sticking to the other torrent sites listed above and leaving YTS as an absolute last resort. However, there are some sites better off left alone — even as an absolute last resort:. IPTorrents forces users to create an account using an email address and pay a subscription fee.
PassThePopcorn presents itself as a private torrenting site which is meant to offer some security advantages with more dedicated moderation. Occasionally, someone will post an alleged sign-up link on Reddit, but these are always fake. SUMOTorrent insists you need to download and install its proprietary torrent client before seeing any of the torrents it hosts. Unfortunately, the original KickAssTorrents launched in shut down in after its founder, Artem Vaulin, was arrested. You now have to use an extension to use the site, a big red flag, as malicious browser extensions are known to harvest personally identifiable information.
And, unfortunately, Torrent9 and all its mirror sites frequently redirect visitors to a variety of other links. Redirects are almost always a red flag , and this site seems to favor sending visitors to potential adware, spyware, and other malware. Although YourBittorrent seems harmless at first, visitors are flooded with pop-ups and pornographic ads as soon as you click on anything on the site. This happens to a far more invasive extent than on torrent sites that made my list, making me very wary of the advertising partnerships this one has entered.
This is the desktop app that handles things like i nitiating and managing your uploads and downloads in the P2P network. This is because, in , some privacy and security issues with uTorrent were discovered. After downloading qBittorrent, remember to s can the installation file with your antivirus software.
If all is clear, open the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions to finish the process! For example, you can set qBittorrent to start running when your computer boots up or manually start the client when you want to use it. However, I do recommend enabling UPnP port mapping as this will help give you the best possible download speeds.
These files simply contain the metadata your torrent client needs to connect to the right peers to download the actual content. When you click on them, they should now open in your torrent client and start downloading the content from seeding peers. I recommend scanning complete downloads with your antivirus before opening them. Typically, after you download a. For this reason, the speeds I got during my tests might not be the same as the speeds you get during your tests.
My first recommendation is Malwarebytes. This way, you get real-time web protection and can set up automatic scans. And the real-time web protection will help you avoid dodgy sites and will even block malicious or potentially malicious ads. That said, I find using a properly modified Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension works better for getting rid of ads and pop-ups completely.
I recommend checking out this video by Techlore on Hardening Your Browser for better privacy and security:. And do the same for the final content download too, plus run a Quick Scan just in case.
This online tool scans your files for free by running them through many popular antivirus programs. Using a trustworthy torrenting VPN is so important that even some of the best torrent sites warn you to use a VPN while torrenting!
A VPN or Virtual Private Network works by encrypting your data to keep it safe from anyone snooping on your traffic, like hackers or the government. This is just as important as the encryption part because it stops malicious peers from seeing your real IP address and using it to identify you or launch a DDoS attack. So, try finding a P2P-friendly VPN server in a country as close to you as possible for the best possible speeds.
Usually, this is because the government ordered them to do so as a heavy-handed attempt to prevent online piracy of copyright materials. This way, you can beat the geo-blocks by spoofing your location — and, at the same time, hide your real IP address and encrypt your online traffic. If only the main domain is seized, you can still use the mirror domains to access the torrent site.
But there are many legal applications , such as getting your Blizzard Entertainment game updates or downloading f ree, open-source software FOSS. Typically, the only way to gain access is by knowing a member and requesting an invite. Occasionally, you might get lucky and score an invite on a Reddit thread or on the TorrentInvites. Because torrent sites are often targeted by law enforcement and sometimes taken down, they usually reopen with a new address domain name. These alternative addresses are called mirror links because they resolve a website that mirrors the main domain.
The best torrent trackers or torrent sites are those that survived a long time, have an active community of peers maintaining a large and varied torrent library, and, ideally, have some kind of torrent or uploader verification in place to keep users safe from malicious downloads.
You should always follow torrenting safety guides and use a reliable torrenting VPN. Torrenting copyright material is always illegal and will likely lead to fines or arrest. Some countries take a heavy-handed approach and ban all torrenting, ignoring the fact there are many legal applications for P2P file-sharing. In such countries, getting caught torrenting can lead to criminal charges regardless of the content involved. Torrenting is a great way to easily share large documents and even applications with others.
Because it relies on peers simultaneously uploading portions of a file to the shared network, it can help distribute those files faster. But remember your online privacy and safety while torrenting is still your responsibility , even when sticking to the best of the best. Always use a reliable torrenting VPN, ad-blocker, and antivirus, at the very least.
