10 Alternatives To Mininova
Written by TorrentWatcher on November 26, 2009After nearly five years of loyal service, Mininova disabled access to over a million torrent files when it partly shut down its website. Starting today, only approved publishers are able to upload files to the site, but luckily there are plenty of alternatives and potential replacements BitTorrent users can flock to.
With an impressive 175,820,430 visits and close to a billion page views in the last 30 days, Mininova set a record that they will be unable to break in the near future. Last August a Dutch court ruled that Mininova had to remove all links to ‘infringing’ torrent files, with disastrous consequences.
Since it is technically unfeasible to pre-approve or filter every potentially infringing torrent file, the Mininova team decided to throw in the towel and only allow torrents to be submitted by approved uploaders. This move resulted in the deletion of more than a million torrents, many of which were not infringing any copyrights at all.
Thankfully, there are still plenty of alternatives for those BitTorrent users who are looking for the latest Ubuntu, OpenSUSE or Fedora release.
Below we provide a random list of public torrent sites that are still open, but there are of course hundreds more sites we could have included. If your personal favorite is missing, feel free to post it in the comments below – preferably with your reasons why it should be included in any upcoming lists.
If you’re looking for high speed downloads, you might also want to check out Usenet.
1. Torrentzap
2. Vertor
3. ExtraTorrent
4. KickassTorrents
5. BTjunkie
5. Monova
7. isoHunt
8. yourBitTorrent
9. The Pirate Bay
10. ShareReactor
Update: The owner of Monova, told TorrentFreak that he has reserved all Mininova usernames for people who want to make the switch to his site. The account names can be claimed here. Also, we replaced some sites in the original top 10 because they went down or started to serve trojans,or viruses.

I like Kickass Torrents and Isohunt.. but I’ll miss mininova :(
dang
here’s a link that i found a while ago, it is a pretty comprihensive torrent site list that is periodically updated. hope its helpful to someone.
http://members.quicknet.nl/romeria/bittorrentsites1.htm
Fuck Legal torrents and most of all Fuck the Government!
that certainly does suck :( but everyone should try http://bitsnoop.com/ I have been using them ever since Demonoid went down…not bad at all.
kickasstorrents FTW !!!
Try these too
http://extatorrent.com
http://leakz.net
ahashare.com
ahashare.com very organized torrent site
http://www.ahashare.com/index.php
Agree with #5, I like http://bitsnoop.com/. It’s good for finding stuff if you know what you are looking for :).
Not as good for browsing aimlessly as other sites like TPB or Mininova though.
Ok so one of the alternative of Mininova is Thepiratebay … which is almost dead and which you already gave us 10 alternatives O_o ?
thanks these are awesome i can still get my torrent fix yeahhhh
http://www.likemyscreenshot.com
The Pirate Bay 4ever! That is the best alternative, IMHO.
http://files24.com/
Add demonoid
http://www.monova.org/
This is a clone of mininova
I use http://www.torrents.to it one engine which searches multiple sites.
torrents.to
Vertor FTW!
http://www.torrentzap.com
Why write TPB in the list if it’s suppose to close?
Vertor IS A PIECE OF SHIET
http://www.1337x.org
@23 yes 1337x is very good, I use 1337x and et
Mierda a este paso voy a tener que pagar por las cosas que bajaba jajajaja
So…. Shall I start digging the grave? Maybe buy a graveyard.
Mininovas has died.
The Pirate Bay is not more than barely alive.
And so we’ll continue to keep torrenting, until the very end. But… I just wonder what would happen if every single person that has downlaoded/downloads stuff (per say, “pirated” or “pirates”), would stop using/buying crap from anyone (exept free, of course).
@26
The Pirate Bay had not died!
TPB is not dead… Just downloaded a book I couldn’t find anywhere from TPB using the magnet link with openbt and publicbt. I’m beginning to believe they are some sort of ‘cursed’ black pearl crew that won’t die even if MAFIAA stabs them several times lmao. Long live TPB! [sarcasm] Don’t sue me for mentioning copyrighted material please T_T [/sarcasm]
Btw TF, an article about open trackers (with a listing like this one) would be awesome. I mean, publicbt is awesome and yet it has much less access than openbt, maybe due to low ‘publicity’ on specialized sites like TF.
For the ones looking for the torrents deleted from mininova: we have almost all of them with torrent file cached at torrage and magnet links just in case :)
torrentz.com
Why bother when ImmortalSeed is all you need?
I agree Lavaciar, private trackers are the way to go, Immortalseed rocks!!!
Wow, nothing cometes with MiniNova, it IS da bomb.
Jess
http://www.complete-privacy.se.tc
I’ve had problems with virus’s hitting the torrentreactor site Has this been cleaned up yet?
All the major upload accounts from mininova 1337x noir eztv fxg fxm etc. are also upload on monova.org. You can even list them by they username 1337x:
http://www.monova.org/user.php?id=1337x
http://www.monova.org/user.php?id=fxm
etc.
Mininova was really the only site I ever used, except for extv. Now Monova looks really promising.
Sad that mininova had to go, but like everyone is saying, there are loads of replacement sites out there, so it’s bad, but not catastrophic.
heres a list of private trackers stating if they are open for reg or not for anyone who can use it http://www.trackerchecker.com
and if the site go’s back up this is a better version of it
http://www.trackerchecker.org/
h33t.com is pretty decent as well.
Still anxiously awaiting Demonoid’s return though.
Napster > suprnova > mininova > ??
Ah well. Another site with no backbone bites the dust.
To every idiot that says TPB is dead, you are wrong, They are alive and well, yes they closed their tracker (big mistake for them to announce that, if they didn’t announce it most people would of never of known!) but they don’t need the tracker and neither do you.
@ 28 / Ninja
“Btw TF, an article about open trackers (with a listing like this one) would be awesome. I mean, publicbt is awesome and yet it has much less access than openbt, maybe due to low ‘publicity’ on specialized sites like TF.”
Not really. OpenBT was first, PublicBT came later (not much, but still later). Also all(?) TPB (and Mininova?) .torrents had OpenBT linked into them, while PublicBT still has to be included by hand.
Just wait until I launch ReasonedNova
This is ridiculous! They need to stop doing this shit already.

my fav 3
Thanks for this post listing bt sites…I mostly used mininova, piratebay, and isohunt, and now I’ve got all these backups that look pretty decent! :)
BTW, I totally approve of the hydra :) Completely appropriate, methinks!

Yes, as a member of immortalseed, I agree that it rocks.
It is NOT, however, “all you need.”
My experience with private trackers is that they are great for TV shows, and recent movie releases.
They fall flat on their face when trying to find older (even by just a few years) movies.
This is going to be pretty hard after all these years of getting used to a service so well done…
Where do I now go to check the uploader specific torrents which was one of the best and trusted feature in mininova ?
Just by bookmarking the uploaders ( secretmyth, saimey, jonny, eztv, fxg, xRG ) that I trust,I was able to keep myself updated on the latest releases WITHOUT ever wondering if they are genuine or not..NOW There is no other such alternatives other than TPB ( which might also get shutdown like this anytime )..
Most of the sites listed above in the article does not have a Uploader section and hence are full of FAKES !!!
No matter how much we will love or hate mininova..it will surely be missed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no alternative to what Mininova gave us but we gotta move on with what we have, think of the time took for Mininova partial shutdown in no time what would happen to other torrent site that are left ???
Thanks to mininova and TPB troubles, I have since discovered private torrent sites, where I can download nearly twice as fast and my upload isn’t going to waste on leechers. As a matter of fact I’m seeding now more than ever before. Share the world, screw the industries!
when will you children get with the program, a few private trackers are all you need.
http://bitsnoop.com/ ftw.
OK guys!
Let sue:
1. Vertor
2. SeedPeer
3. Torrentreactor
4. Alive Torrents
5. KickassTorrents
6. BTjunkie
7. isoHunt
8. yourBitTorrent
9. The Pirate Bay
10. Fulldls.
What? there is a new one called magnet? Let’s sue Magnet then!
http://isohunt.com
@51 Not everyone likes private trackers.
Most of the private trackers I’ve been on don’t have the huge community to actually seed back enough to keep a good ratio, so now I never use them.
With regards to my comment @49 ,
I should have added h33t and 1337x too as the sites I would now ONLY visit other than TPB which is still the best and most trusted site in the entire internet !!!
RIP MiniNova…thanks for all you have done so far for the BTCommunity AND thanks for raising the bar for an ‘indexing’ site, which were all mostly full of shites before you came to the picture !!!
@55
Then you must be on some shitty trackers buddy. I am a member of many and have TBS and TBS of upload credit.
how can we c comments in mononova
http://www.ahashare.com must be on top of the list!
My list = yours +
torrentz.com
sumotorrent.com
tracker.btarena.org
rarbg.com
+ meta search engines:
speckly.com
usniff.com
bitsnoop.com
Immortal Seed has a long way to go before being a viable option. Only good for major releases and thats if they are reccent, otherwise immortal seed fails…
kickasstorrents seems to be the best alternative. More polish compared to the others.
This is a really good site!
http://rarbg.com/torrents.php
Here is my collection of torrent sites: http://delicious.com/rishqo/torrents
Vertor seems such a scam… I requires you to sign up to download and shows only fake torrents (atleast thats what I got when not signed up)
If you want real guarantee and speed, go either Torrentzilla or iLoveTorrents. They’re private and you don’t pay a dime.
“Thankfully, there are still plenty of alternatives for those BitTorrent users who are looking for the latest Ubuntu, OpenSUSE or Fedora release.”
right… because that’s what most people use bittorrent for…
@64 ..How come Vertor is a scam ?
If I use a site like torrentz.com to look for a torrent, it lists the sites (e.g monova,vertor,tpb etc) which has the torrent.
99% of the time I end up clicking Vertor ( if the site link is there ) because:
1] it is the only site which allows me to see the content of the torrent as a ’snapshot’ or ’screenshot’ ..e,g: a movie will have six screenhots randomly taken from the avi/mkv file.
If its fake the scrrens will show as corrupt.So i can easily skip !
2] if a music torrent is listed as say 320kbps, Vertor also includes:
a. a audio sample which user can preview before downloading
b. the bit rate of the file on the samples( so u can make out if its actually 320 kbps, vbr, cbr etc )
I am still not aware of any other sites which has these features… normally for other sites I have to rely on the comments from the downloaders.
Also u don’t need to sign-up to use Vertor.
So pls check ur facts before you make a stupid comment about a website !
Bitsnoop, enough said
try http://www.premiertorrents.com awesome site, good people and the doors are open for a limited time!!!
Thanks to OBSCENE for commenting on the article here at TF about MiniNova and recommending http://extratorrent.com
Looks promising .. there are dedicated uploader accounts, comments and verfied torrents :)
Site:
http://extratorrent.com
E.G: Uploader account :
http://extratorrent.com/profile/xxxOBSCENExxx/torrents/
You can search them all thru
http://www.plentyoftorrents.com
easier than going to each individual site imho.
after checking a lot of the suggested sites, kickasstorrents seems the go, with vertor another decent option
http://www.bitturk.com
a must see
anyone got site that lists bittorrent/p2p sites?
Nothing can beat the browsing on mininova, but btjunkie is great and I am also awaiting demonoids return.
Another highly respected site … http://www.h33t.com/
@72
Yeah that would be torrentz.com
h33t should really be on that list and as one of the top trackers. Many torrents in other trackers are actually downloaded from h33t.
We have many beautiful down jacket and boots, I hope you will be happy to shopping………………www.uggnetshop.com………………

Hello from france !
We don’t need these kinds of sites in France, because of “La Loi Hadopi” (three strikes etc….)
But, now, we use this:
http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu/
It can be considered as a virtual “mininova” and a virtual tracker for bittorrent ….
Sorry, i write a very bad english.
Cornebleu !
Au revoir !
None of those sites you mention offer real encoders or release groups. All of those sites just index torrents. Try this one:
http://extratorrent.com Home of ExtraScene Release Group. We offer ALL verified torrents, and TONS of great encoders and releasers put their work their, themselves, NOT via some indexed bot like the others you mentioned :-/ We have a dedicated HUGE community of peers, our own tracker (yes we accept ALL public trackers too) and we have great moderators and site admins who are online 24/7 making sure that the content on our site remains fresh and active.
ANd of course
http://www.bitcoca.com and http://www.realtorrentz.com
I would recommend the best up and coming private tracker out there
http://www.all4nothin.net
try this – http://torrentpump.com/
It is meta search engine
Its very sad to miss mininova. it was part of my life. anyway i guess i can use torrent site finder like torrentz from now on .
best i use
http://h33t.com/userdetails.php?id=128558
Its time for an DHT based search engine!
Publish the keyword hash’s in the DHT associated with the magnet link.
This way you can find any file you want by filename.
Just like eMule can.
To get Reliable releases the Uploaders could sign the torrents with a PK schema so users can verify the got search results to be genuine from the wanted releasers.
I know that that’s not what all of the BT community wants, cause you could make great money out of link sides.
But its time to say goodby to link sides and do entirely decentralized.
BT needs to morph into a network of peers only without any central hubs like tracker ware and link sides still are.
Lets embrase the future

http://www.siteslike.com/tag/bittorrent
Thanks for that list and links.
http://www.torrentfly.org
http://www.breinsuckonthesetorrentz.com

i really like kickasstorrents.com’s interface.
Vertor looks ok, but I really hate those “External search results” like “abcd – Full Download, “abcd [2009]“, “Complete abcd”. Kickasstorrents it is, then.
http://www-piratebay.org
TPB Clone site, very useful.
Try mininova.biz
or monova.org

@94: why use a TPB clone when you can use TPB. They are very much alive.
Wonderfully mininova was listed as alternative to ThePirateBay some month ago, but now it turned that PirateBay is still alive and going to be treated as alternative to Mininova. It have surrendered without long fighting, very sad.
Long live PirateBay! I hope it wouldn’t be sell…
http://www.sharereactor.com
u can try this one
http://www.torrentparty.com
http://forum.ftireloaded.net edek/kad & http://www.sharevirus.com should help you find some sites
i use http://filesmixx.com for search and download files.
usniff.com, il regroupe tt les torrents des majeurs sites
A good site is http://www.torrentparty.com
ExtraTorrent is okay for Hindi films, but the community is very small and seeders are very much hit-and-run.
H33T.com is pretty good too.
all u corperate flunkies are shakin ur heads now!!
cool hydra pic :D
Well all though who moaned about private trackers and their ilk on Mininova are starting to see their benefit. I suggest you go to
http://www.invitescene.com
which tracks invites for private sites including some of the really good sites, as well as the good bread and butter private trackers like IPT.
Just be warned you had better learn to seed and share or you WILL be banned.
Maybe this will help the scene as leeching is out of control on TPB and Mininova: seeding is good manners people. Just leave your torrents on your list for 48 hours and let it upload. I truly agree with Steve (Comment 312) the major benefit for me is not TS, Cams, or DVDScrs, it is twofold; old films and rarities and independents, which are usually 10x better than studio shite, and for 1080 bluerays which take forever but look amazing even through a projector… use 1080 as your search term. Be waned if all your hard drives are FAT32 most will be too large. Download to your Computer HD and then swap out. Mac users, just check you have a drive that is Mac Extended (CMD i will tell you how the disk is formatted).
Finally, this is a social revolution – believe in freedom of speech and go the movies, buy a film you really like, and keep entertainment affordable by dowloading the fark out of the net.
Peace out…
ExtraScene Release Group on ExtraTorrent all they do is retag others cams what a joke dont use ExtraTorrent there a joke
avg detected virus on vertor so no thanks
youbittorrent tags movies as games (just check on there homepage now in “Top Games” section and see what I’m talking about)absolute dumb place to be in.
Also, seedpeer has no community at all …
why are these sites listed here ??
Some of the sites mentioned in the first 10-15 comments deserve to be included in there place :angry:
And yeah, kickasstorrents is the new mininova. :)
guess I’ll have to burn my Mininova t-shirt
I with you’d cut that list down to 3 or something. Public trackers gain strength through numbers or more specifically having community/ comments on torrents about whether they’re working or not, etc.
btjunkie gets my vote for where everybody should move
I don;t think we need a major new player to replace mininova. I know habits of most BT users and they do use and check multiple sites anyway. in my opinion Kickass , Ahashare and Extratorrent are worth mentioning . I LOVE 1337x.org and personally do check and trust h33t.com for softwares when needed. mininova was a great site but it was NOT one stop shopping ever and I don’t think there will ever be a site that offers one stop shopping.
i recommended;
http://www.h33t.com
http://www.1337x.org
http://www.ahashare.com
they always respect the members :D
If torrentreactor is on the list then this list is crap.
Torrentreactor is the biggest spamming torrent site on the interweb and NONE of the torrents are actually what they are supposed to be.
they will keep on cumin
it’s up to us to do something
they have already got two sites down
wake up !!!!!!!
This will be the best movies site .. it’s all free and best quality . aXXo is the legend and will remain in history . http://www.aXXoMovies.org
This site doesn’t use torrents, but lists rapidshare/netload/megashare/etc. links to uploaded content.
http://irfree.com
Warning: I would advise against using anything but Firefox or Google Chrome with AdBlock enabled to view their site. The unpaid version is loaded with ads.
ten behoeve van Mininova heb ik het gedicht in het engels vertaald:
Mount the Trojans, gather the worms
The battle is on for Web and Crown
en when we’ve all got weary
and no enemy has left
we will download the latest films
and we’ll drink Mead from the skull
of the defeated Brain*.
(* the Dutch organization which is harassing the Dutch downloader’s and download sites is called BREIN; which translated in English means BRAIN.)
such a shame – was so easy to find new stuff there n then… got stuck my ways with Mininova :)
http://www.mononova.org – looks n feels exactly the same :)
Vertor is full of trojanz of viruses. Barely click on one link there and catch photo_id.exe trojan and some other got blocked.
I removed it but hell, who puts such site on no1 ?
Metapirate.com
The best movie torrent alternative out there. A bit choppy at times but when it’s up it’s pure awesome.
It’s funny because I see alot of torrent sites,some good some bad,but the real trick here are trackers.
Your torrent is only as good as the trackers you add into it!
http://www.torrentlist.on.nimp.org is pretty good too
let’s not forgot http://94.75.224.58/forums/
http://www.speed.cd
private site but doesn’t require an invite
I will miss mininova..it was really cool…but it doesn;t take time to become a cool thing uncool..somepeople alwaz have the problem..which give arise to big prob and further close down of the site..and coz of that everyone has to suffer…Grow up people…
I just tried to pull up the following sites: Vector, Torrentreactor, BTjunkie, Fulldls, and Monova but all showed McAfee SiteAdvisor and WOT “red” warnings. We should probably stay away from them.
For anime:
http://www.anirena.com
http://www.bakabt.com
http://www.nyaatorrents.org
http://btx.ath.cx
Those are the most known torrent trackers around for Japanese animation, raws and live-action series/movies.
Not one person here named a Darknet. that’s the only front on which we should be fighting. these networks will fall too unless we fight smarter.
iptorrents.com
Great site and always loads of new torrents… :)
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=188562053738&ref=mf
can’t find an alternative
monova is all trojans! stay away!
I wish computer illiterate lamers like users at comment 134 and 130 would just stay the hell away from the torrent scene. Dont know what the hell you are talking about, and are probrably 10 year-olds trying to “ScoRe sum Fr3e shizZZ!”
mononova.org is down at the moment
Anyway, on a sidenote what really made Mininova tempting was the clean layout of the site and frontpage….alot of these other GOOD sites have terrible layouts right now, yes they are still good…but the clutter on the frontpage is diorientating.
Also, these sites should create an algorithim like Mininova had that displays the most interesting torrents for more than just your standard movies, music, and games categories. Should be all, including Anime,Books,Music,Movies,Games,Other,Software,Comics, and so forth on a clean easily readable frontpage. IO particularly think this is why Mininova and Demonoid were successful. If you were aimlessly browsing like comment #10 said and you find something interesting easily you are more likely to come back to the site. The closest I’ve found to a setup like this is AliveTorrents.
Though my other picks in the meantime while Demonoid is still down would include AliveTorrents, Leakz.net, and Extratorrent.
http://www.monova.org back up but slow . I guess I’ll use emule and wwww.sharereactor.com till site is usable
*sp http://www.sharereactor.com & http://www.mininova.biz/
EXTRATORRENT all the way since mininova has gone
monova is a mininovaclone but you get a flash ad every time click anything no thanks. The closest i found to mininova is torrentzap.com
http://bitsnoop.com/ – FTW
I have been using btjunkie and I found that almost every decent uploaders are over there. Fuck all the other sites, they suck shit, apart for Extratorrent who is a kickass site for movie and first cams and The pirate bay, out of respect for their refusing to back down and obey ‘the rules’.
yet another:
http://torrentara.net
BAND TOGETHER! I think all the large torrent site should make all their code open source so anyone can setup their own torrent search site in hours… Make it so there are so many that it is impossible for them to fight everyone. Also, since corporations are cheap to setup and domains are only $8 have a site like this that doesn’t have any torrents but instead tracks the torrent sites themselves… Therefore, by the time someone sued a site like minova or whatever, it would already be gone and not exist anymore.
Oh, yes, plenty of sites, problem is, most are invites , and they are all closed
Most of the privates sites dont have enough members so seeding is usually a BIG proble,
Hopefully Mininova will find a new safer home and come back
81 Nov 27, 2009 at 10:00 by OBSCENE
None of those sites you mention offer real encoders lmao what and you are how funny all you do is retag them ExtraScene http://extratorrent.com no thanks stay away if they dont like what you say about a torrent they will ban you and ip there are joke stay away peeps
Yes, Mininova was great, very helpfull to find whatever I wanted, but still Mininova is not alone !
Thanks for the post.
Vertor is serving them trojans too.
So watch out.
I just search the name of what I want with torrent after the name on google. that way it goes through all the torrent sites. Torrentz is also great because it’ll give you a huge tracker list.
best site
for torrnet without any virus or spam
http://www.h33t.com/
trust only h33t
@48:
“My experience with private trackers is that they are great for TV shows, and recent movie releases.
They fall flat on their face when trying to find older (even by just a few years) movies.”
You obviously have not found the private trackers you need then. I can think of 2 private movie trackers that pretty much have everything recent and old.
As for private trackers:
1 for scene with fast uploads after pre
1 for music
1 for obscure movies
1 for Holly wood releases.
Pretty much all you need.
Where’s H33T dot com on your list????????
a good site for tha latest torrents and great speeds is
http://openscene.co.cc
easy navigation, great speeds, nicee range of torrents
a few pages are “incomplete” but other than that its an awsomee WWW Site :)
my favorite is http://www.1337x.org.
Very friendly staff and good stuff.
I hope Brein is looking at this and remembering Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Chop one, get two, chop two get four etc…
I used btjunkie and I found most trusted uploaders are over there. Extratorrent is a great site for movie and first cams.
Just came here from Lifehacker. Some nice sites in the comments too apart from the obvious ones like btjunkie and isohunt…
ahashare.com looks like a good community, 1337x.org has a great community too.
That http://leakz.net looks awesome. They show content info for movies, games etc. (how do they do it without a community ??) Quite similar to http://files24.com (but approach is different and files24 is even better when it comes to movies) These two sites are gonna rock my days henceforth :)
piratebay ? lol.
I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet but what about:
http://www.scrapetorrent.com
Its fast and simple. searches a number of bigger sites.
My 2 cents.

Here’s a little test
Five Graves to Cairo 1943 classic film
Not found on h33t, but 4 entrys on kickasstorrents.
So kickasstorrents it is.
Now days, this is getting so ugly that the ISPs are blocking or throttling your torrent traffic without even telling you. Did you know if your ISP is blocking or throttling torrent traffic ? I did an article on how to easily check on this, if you are interested, you can visit http://indiawebsearch.com/content/how-to-check-if-your-isp-is-blocking-or-slowing-bittorrent-content
http://Ahashare.com
ahahshare is cool to view the covers of movies, leakz seems having some cool features also but i agree with 148 the closer to mininova is torrentzap.
I suggest :
http://racethe.net/
It’s a private tracker, but currently has open signups. It’s also a general tracker, so you can find what you’re looking for very easily (most of the members are willing to up anything you want) and has an awesome community. After looking around for some decent general private trackers, I’ve decided to stay at Race the Net. It’s the bomb!!
When’s the establishment going to get it and just change their business model. They are going to go broke trying to take one torrent site down while 10 more pop up.
I haven’t bought a DVD or CD in 10 years, and NEVER will do it again. This is like horse carriages trying to outlaw trains to protect their shitty business model.
Vertor is serving up Trojans…
The Kings are dead (Pirate bay, Mini nova etc) Long Live the King (Magnet Links)

These F…are tryen to take our Freedom away…!!!! They can’t win!!!
Any good ebook/audiobook sites? Demonoid was the best followed by Minerva. Any other options for sites that offer a lot of books–not just the popular ones?

You forgot http://www.plentyoftorrents.com
and their Torrent Site List

After reading this I went to Monova and Avast instantly warned me of an iframe virus attack… don’t think I’ll go there again.
ExtraTorrent there a joke the power goes to the admins heads or they want to do is ban you and retag your work there a joke stay away

By Far Kickass..
Great selection.
Great forum moderators who kickass and are on the ball.
Go Kickass…
I am sad that mininova is gone.
But here is a few site downloaders can try.
1.Rarbg.com
2.torrentportal
3.Torrentz.com
they are the best torrent sites
Friggin’ #166 is right ON!
Scrapetorrent.com
Why is this site always so overlooked?! It’s the #1 site I always turn to first, then I’d go to mininova, rlslog.net, thepiratebay.org, etc.
alot of sites like mcafee siteadvisor and avast and various browser plugins give false warnings for sites like monova.org and torrentreator etc etc
i miss mininova
I prettified vertor.com a little bit: http://userstyles.org/styles/22918
http://www.extratorrent.com
the best torrent site ever
anyone know a site which has comments on the torrents like minninova had?
cheers

None of those sites you mention offer real encoders or release groups. All of those sites just index torrents. Try this one:
http://extratorrent.com Home of ExtraScene Release Group. We offer ALL verified torrents, and TONS of great encoders and releasers put their work their, themselves, NOT via some indexed bot like the others you mentioned :-/ We have a dedicated HUGE community of peers, our own tracker (yes we accept ALL public trackers too) and we have great moderators and site admins who are online 24/7 making sure that the content on our site remains fresh and active.
great encoders all you do is retag everyons work fine your own cams ExtraScene
Show us one release that’s retagged? Douchebag. Every single encode by ES is done by them. Every one is a single cd, 700mb encode. Check the copyrights. IMAGiNE uses one click apps and its been proven, by the tags of Fairuse, DVDFab, and ALSO, TMPEEGENC on ALL their releases. Noobs dont even know how to encode :-/
@goosegogg kickasstorrents.com……with comments on torrents
thank u for the list. this will full fill my thrust 80% which was there since mininova decided to go for authorized content distributor.
There are a huge number of dumbasses in this thread who don’t understand the concept of the world “alternative” (meaning similar to).
- Private sites are NOT alternatives. (“private” is anyplace with restricted memebership and/or requires DHT/PEX turned off and/or a site-specific tracker URL.)
- Sites that don’t let you edit your upload descriptions are NOT alternatives. (That rules out any warehouse that tells you your “upload already exists” because the damn place spidered your upload on a different site faster than you could hit “Submit” in your other browser tab.)
- Sites without a “community” are NOT alternatives. (Nobody wants to post at a site where nobody says “Thanks!”.)
http://www.InviteScene.com is the best.
Get your all exclusive private torrent invites. InviteScene is your ultimate guide for all torrent trackers & your access to the best scene of web.

- Which is why people use them.
We have a dedicated HUGE community of peers
- No, no you don’t. ET is full of hit and runners… far more than any other. They also rate the quality of movies before watching them. If you have a 10th of what any other site out there has, I’d be shocked.
Show us one release that’s retagged?
- Every. Single. One. of your wrestling “DVDs”
Check the copyrights.
- WTF? You can’t “copyright” something that’s stolen, n00b. And most of your cams are ripped off from SecretMyth.
Once again listed! Thanks TorrentFreak!
Ok I have been testing out all these sites. Lets do a rundown.
Ahashare- It sucks. There is no variety of torrents and obviously the people on these comments have some affiliation with the site. It is horrible.
Torrentzap- Wonderful. Out of all these sites it is the most like Mininova. The way it returns results, and the variety of torrents that it has.
Mononova- Garbage. Nothing like mininova. When you do searches it gives you a bunch of fake sponsored links above the actual torrent results. Just someone trying to make some money off the mininova opportunity.
btJunkie- This site is decent… But it is ugly. They use too much BOLD fonts… Site needs a redesign… BUT. Has GREAT variety.
isoHunt- I like, but not enough content. A little old school on the design, kind of looks like old gaming forums.
BitSnoop- Almost there. They tried to set up their site to mimic Google. I love that. But there seems to be a lot of fake torrents. And while it has a system to fight that, it won’t work without a user base. The user base seems to be trash uploaders. The sites layout listings is a bit confusing and options are kind of lame. Good attempt, but needs work.
This would be the perfect site with users. If the makers of this site want some tips let me know in the comments with an email and I’ll let you know what you can do with the site ;)
I would recommend TorrentZap for all mininova users.

After kicking the tires of over three-dozen would-be-great torrent sites over the last couple days, I’ve narrowed on the best choice for us all to move over to: [b]http://www.ahashare.com[/b]
It has/supports….
– DHT/PEX-enabled (“public”) torrents
– User page for uploaded torrents
– Users can edit their own torrents. (Yay!)
– Torrent description page supports graphics, reveals contained files, and has a comment section
– Site is free to join
– Site has a community forum.
– Site is reasonably fast.
– Site has good scrape-count seed/peer statistics
– Has a pretty good search-engine.
In short, it’s almost perfect. See you all there.
(Disclosure: I do NOT work for, own, moderate, or vend stuff there.)

REPLY TO #203:
> Ahashare- It sucks. There is no variety of torrents…
– I gave it my “best replacement” rating due to its FEATURE SET. (What variety of torrents does Mininova have now? Zero. Demonoid? Zero.) Ahashare is just NEW — that’s why there aren’t a lot of torrents there. BUT IT HAS A GREAT TOOLSET. Torrent description pages have a kind of Demonoid feel to them, and display a lot of information with accurate seed/peer counts.
> Torrentzap- Wonderful. Out of all these sites it is the most like Mininova.
Does not support user editing of uploaded torrent descriptions — THAT’S A DEAL-KILLER. (I have requested this in forum comments.)
> Mononova- Garbage.
> btJunkie- This site is decent…
These are just spider-bot warehouses. Good if you’re looking for something really fast — but suck if you’re an uploader who wants a sense of style and control. No community forums.
> isoHunt- I like, but not enough content.
Too much work involved in uploading. No sense of community.
isohunt serves trojans and viruses via it’s advertising. Please consider removing it as well.

Torrent Zap looks perfect!!!!!
Best one is here:

Everyone come on over.

Suck My Dick Nigga, Suck My Dick!
I liked how mininova could sort yesterday’s torrents by seeds so I could run down the list and download the stuff that I liked..
http://www.mininova.org/yesterday/seeds
Torrentzap doesn’t do that, despite looking closest to mininova. If only they could add that feature on this page:
http://www.torrentzap.com/yesterday
So, with that in mind.. I suppose the only choice I have is:
1. http://torrentz.com/
2. http://btjunkie.org/
Any other suggestions?

look at that list and all the comments bit torrent is all but dead people!
I just use the Vuze search. I’m new to this and stupidly, didnt realise I had other options. Is there a search like Vuze that checks all available torrents and directs you to the best one. Cheers. G
well its a bad news………but we can’t do anything……but other sites r there…..that can make us….
@ r2zv2n
thanks fella i willgive it a go
Mininova:The Best!!!!! :(((((
is there other sites that uploaders fxg/fxm/secretmyth use? also who are some other trusted quality dvd rippers?
thanks
http://www.plentyoftorrents.com has got to be the most popular for searches right now.
They also have a list of other torrent sites.
http://www.plentyoftorrents.com/torrent-site-list
try using google to search for torrents. Works well. Just be careful w/ what you’re downloading.
Mininova we will never forget you!
http://www.torrentroot.com fast multi-search
http://www.1337x.org
try this best ive found
dragons-dungeon.com
http://dragons-dungeon.com/
Farewell Mininova :(
I’m sure some of the displaced members will find http://trackeraccess.org a nice alternative. Normaly closed Registration but they are currently open.
new private site looking for members and it doesn’t require an invite – horror/sci-fi/fantasy
http://www.corsutscorner.com
http://www.SPEED.CD is very good privat tracker.
all the newest sh”t…
just check out and be happy
just tried monova but it requires you to login to download a torrent.
this means you can’t download via rss and the rss feed is broken too. no timestamp, no torrents.
not a good choice if you want rss based autodownloads.
Just went to http://www.trackeraccess.org
Its awsome.
Checked many and closest to mininova at least by front page seems to be http://www.torrentzap.com/
also “latest by category” that show pretty relevant today/yesterday torrents in same way mininova did. Other sites aether do not have that or show not really relevant stuff (probably cuz they are not as popular yet)
The best clone is one with nearly the exact same name, Mininova.biz! just add in a “biz” instead of an “org” and you get all the torrents you want.
Here is one more:
http://www.torrentbox.com/
where is btmon?
I highly recommend http://www.torrentzap.com and http://extratorrent.com. Both are extremely similar to Mininova (especially TorrentZap – it’s so similar it’s nostalgic), with similar features and layout. http://www.kickasstorrents.com is also good.
The thing that made Mininova great was the fact that everyone posted comments there, so everyone needs to start posting on Mininova’s successor so that we can all get behind it!
Think this can help:
http://www.torrentparty.com
I think this is the best alternative to mininova
Due to some recent site closures (good sites at that too) we have decided to open the doors to give those people a chance to join our site and community, if you know of anyone affected then let them know and post wherever possible saying we are open
If any of them want to be uploaders and can’t because they just joined the site they can send a message to the helpdesk and we’ll sort it for them
This will only be for a limited time however and the next time maybe 12 months before we open the doors to the general public again
RIP the sites that fall by choice or forced

Why bother with just one torrent site when you can have access to 16 from one location?
I’ve been using http://www.Entertane.com for awhile, its great. Or http://www.torrenttree.com is another alternative.
I used to visit Mininova daily, so it will be sorely missed by me. I then turned to The Pirate Bay and my computer got a virus, so needless to say, I won’t be going back there.
can any one tell me a site that gives comments like mininova i hate d/l fakes
IPTORRENTS is by far the best torrent site so if you can get an invite go for it
I agree with others that none of the above can really replace mininova because they don’t have the comments sections. up/down ratings aren’t enough, it’s always best to know if people are downvoting it because it’s poor quality or if it’s fake or what.
and this might be a bit shallow, but they’re all fuck ugly! you’d think there was a web developer somewhere in their community.
i guess i’m just sticking with isohunt and when that fails very carefully googling.

ok now tell me which is best among them
Other torrent sites just don’t measure up to Mininova. I can’t find the next episode to any of the TV shows I watch on any other site. Maybe there’s a reason for this, but it’s becoming annoying.
Please someone just make a clone of what Mininova was, NO ONE WILL BLAME YOU OR HATE YOU.
I’d need a reliable torrentsite providing RSS Feeds for automatic downloading?! Any suggestions?! Please help!
long live torrents.nobody can kill torrents,stop one,two will arise,cut two,four will arise,stop four eight will arise… takecare anil REDDY
after mininova’s exit I am trying out pirates bay, seedpeer and extra torrent. Okay so far.
monova is now filled with”avtar dvdrip axxo” type stuffs vertor is real contender for replacing MN
For your audio needs
http://music-torrentz.com
Fakkk speed.cd
It’s shit.
And one of the staff fakes to be axxo.

This was by the way news on torrentfreak a while ago.

I found a HOTTEST interracial club =MixedConnect *.* C0M=for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!
The Pirate Bay is the best
I use frequently Torrent Predator. Mininova was the best, but when it didn’t find something T.P. did dirty work.
Bye :)

Everyone who writes a fucking article stating where every other torrent site is should be shot on site!!!!! How the fuck do you think they find them sites in the first place?
