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.

It says milion on the graph coz 1000 milion is 1 bilion
Keep up the fight Mininova, you’ve done us good for some time now.
i think he was making reference to the fact that the graph misspelled million you jackass
Why do each of the visitors need to download the mini-nova 3 times. (average)
This also suggests, that most users are downloading mini-nova many more times than they actually need…
judging by the download numbers, and the total amount of internet users, and systems capable of actually running the program coupled with the fact, that Mini-nova, at 4 billion downloads, will have pushed out 1 download 4 times for every single user on the internet.
Sorry, but that stinks severely of inflated numbers and possibly fraud.
Your arguement would make since if Mini-Nova was a client app, but since it’s a torrent tracker, you sound stupid for not bothering to look at the site.
bite me!

Each visitor is not downloading 3 times, but it can also be 3 different files.
so mr.I think the real question, first get your question right and then think.
Is this number actual LOCAL downloads, or are they using the completed download statistics from the trackers?
mininova’s stats say:
Total torrent downloads: 3,016,437,181
But if it is calculated the same as:
Total seeds: 6,474,197
Total leechers: 2,154,493,911
By just using the SUM(seeders), SUM(leechers), SUM(downloads)
If they are doing it that way, then there are sites that beat this long ago.
For example, TorrentPortal.com has 4,637,938,299 downloads complete (not just .torrents downloaded). Which is 1.6 billion downloads more if that is how they are tracking it. This data is from the TRACKERS, not mininova.
@nb: no, the number mentioned is the amount of .torrent downloads (as this article also states, BTW). More info @ http://blog.mininova.org/articles/2007/11/01/more-than-3-billion-downloads/

Mininova isn’t a tracker, it’s an index site.
yeah thats right. :P
i like mininova for few reasons. 1)fake torrents r removed quickly. 2)i am subscribed to aXXo user account newsfeed in the site. 3)torrents r very well categorized.(never saw torrent in wrong category)
4)lots of comments by users.
well done congrats
SUMOTorrent.com reached today 25 million torrents download mark!
Nothing compared to Mininova of course, but we also increased our traffic by 100x in 6 months, and we will keep growing!!!
Yes, I don’t like DEAD or weak links.
So that, I hate Torrent too,
I like RapidShare and Megaupload: Fast speed, have a lot updates …

3 billion stolen files, that’s what it is what if you get caught
mininova rocks.
but where the hell is axxo???
I really enjoy torrents from mininova, I really do, and I think they are great!
Mininova is #1, just be careful, you’re the biggest target out there.
There are interests that want this stopped and the more popular this gets the more they may feel they are loosing. And rules will be bent, broken or made to ruin all our fun.
Good luck and keep up the good work.
i luv mininova..huhu
