Selected Torrent Search Engine and Sites List

From the above given list of torrent search engines and torrent websites, here we are going to review the top 10 websites. The link is giving along the website name for reference only; we are not promoting any of these sites or the torrenting process at all.

1. Torrentz / Torentz

Torrentz is a torrent search engine which got popular last year due to closure of some famous torrent sites. Torrentz itself emerges with numerous extensions like torrentz.com, torrentz.org, torrentz.eu and torrentz.it. The search engine was accessed by millions of visitors daily to find and download their favorite movies, books or required software. Torrentz.eu actually indexes other torrent websites like Bitsnoop, The Piratebay, Kickasstorrents and lime torrent. The site then reproduces the links to torrent files from these websites to the visitors

2. Kickass torrents (KAT)

Kickasstorrents is the major torrent downloading website of the era. Came into existence in 2007, KAT faces many ups and downs to reach to the top of the all torrent websites. This site provides files from all categories but kickass movies torrents are the popular and most searched item over kat.ph.

3. ThePirateBay TPB

ThePiratebay can be said as the pioneer of torrenting in the millennium. The site faces ban in many countires but is now fully functional under thepiratebay.org domain. Millions of people use this mega-torrent website to get their desired software, ebook, movie or audio files. Unlike other torrent websites, TPB uses magnet links to the file which can be fetch via torrent client like BitTorrent or uTorrent.

4. Isohunt

Isohunt.to is reviewed here because of one of its unique feature and that is, the .iso files. Iso hunt return back the results in the form of ISO files. These iso files can be open via MagicIso or other software. Almost files from every category can be found and downloaded there.

5. Bitsnoop

We personally like Bitsnoop for a few reasons. The major one is its simple interface where one can easily locate and download the torrent file on the page. The site has fewer ads. It allows you to comment the status of downloaded file and also to seed or leech a file.
