Mininova Breaks 3 Billion Downloads Barrier
Written by Ernesto on November 01, 2007Mininova reached another milestone as they just passed the 3 billion .torrent download mark. The impressive number of 3 million daily users now download almost 10 million .torrent files a day.
Mininova is by far the most visited BitTorrent site at the moment, and they are still growing. The site currently has over 3 million visitors per day which places them in the list of 100 most visited websites on the Internet.
Erik from Mininova told TorrentFreak that he expected to reach the 3 million downloads faster than this, but he’s not complaining since the current traffic numbers keep the servers busy enough. “We hope to reach the 4 billion mark in 4 or 5 months from now” he added.
Mininova continues to optimize their site and server park in order to cope with the increasing traffic. As can be seen from the graph, the 3 billion download mark was reached by the end of October, and there is no sign that the growth is slowing down any time soon. I wonder if it will ever stop.

Just keeps on growin
Second Paragraph “3 million downloads”
Good to know torrents are growing and growing.
Good to hear. I do not like the layout of Mininova. But I know it is great for getting n00bs into torrents, so it is great that it is there to spread the word, and the content. Good luck to Mininova, keep ‘em coming.
make your mind up
was it 3 billion or 3 million?
CONSISTENCY - CAN YOU DO IT?
both
Wow…thats incredible…

I highly doubt it.
The oink domains are still owned by oink, if he was going to bring it back he wouldn’t set it up under some redirector service (dl.am).
Just another scam site.
That’s a lot of Linux distros!!!
Guys, it says 3 billion TOTAL downloads and 3 million DAILY visitors who download 10 million torrents EVERY DAY.
doh…

For those who don’t have any invites to private trackers (which would be most people, n00bs included), Mininova is the best place to find torrents, although TPB is definately a close second. Other public sites have far fewer torrents, IMHO.
I’ve been involved in downloading via torrents for 4 years or so and have yet to get an invite from anyone. Then again, I don’t upload torrents as I have no time. Downloading is simple, easy and not very time consuming. Creating DVD’s from the torrents is another story….
Congrats Mininova! This site has been the standard over the past year. As far as the look, they continue to keep the look consistent but do make changes when necessary, just not a complete overhaul. The ads are also not intrusive at all.
They also are on top of deleting fake torrents quickly making users feel comfortable. The ever better part, they are an indexing site and do not host any trackers. That means they will be around for a long time. Sweet.

You would think with all those linux distros downloaded from mininova MS would be in trouble :p

even losers can get invites at http://www.inviteshare.com
very impressive.
Is mininova still here?
Oh right, i forgot people that arent on good sites go here :P
I personally don’t like Mininova. Lot’s of torrents with trackers that require registration.
But it’s a good place to look if I don’t find it on ThePirateBay.
they are the best torrent index imo, but they should add some server on their bay.
Mininova rocks! I hope they become No.1..
Msg 2 Mininova: Dont sell it on to Google or Microsoft
Why does it say “Milion” on the graph?
a 1000 million is a billion.
3000 million is 3 billion
because 3000 million = 3 billion
*sigh*
