BitTorrent’s popularity is growing

Written by Ernesto on December 24, 2005 

Despite of all the lawsuits and several desperate attempts to shut down torrent sites, BitTorrent’s popularity is still growing. Based on Alexa rankings, the bigger torrent sites still seem to grow. And besides this, new sites a launched succesfully.

Some traffic details of the 5 most popular torrent sites over the last 3 months:

Site Traffic Increase
Torrentspy.com + 37%
Thepiratebay.org +15%
Mininova.org +41%
Isohunt.com +37%
Torrentreactor.net +15%

And this trend seems to be the same for the smaller torrent sites. Not to forget about newcomers like Newnova.org and Seedler.org who are about to enter the top 10 of all torrent sites.

There appears to be very less spoof files considered with other networks. thats why bittorrent is very popular . also growing number of private trackers are great communities. but i hope they will open up for new users from time to time.
