New and Promising BitTorrent Sites
Written by Ernesto on February 14, 2008BitTorrent’s popularity is still growing, and new sites are launched every day. Unfortunately it is impossible to feature all the new sites here, so we decided to post a selection of BitTorrent sites that look promising, or offer something new.
PizzaTorrent
PizzaTorrent is a meta-search engine, inspired by the enormous success of another site we introduced last month, YouTorrent. The site has a similar look and feel as YouTorrent, but it also includes some unique features. One of the most significant differences is that it sorts the torrents by category. In the sidebar you can also click on one of the indexed sites to perform a direct search.
The search results are presented in a clean way and ordered by rank, which is the output of a formula that looks at the torrent name, keywords, date added, number of seeds and seeds vs. peers. The administrator of PizzaTorrent told TorrentFreak that his site is indeed based on the YouTorrent concept, but that he will continue to add more unique features.
Bit-Tunes
Bit-Tunes is a BitTorrent /iTunes mashup based on the popular blog platform Wordpress. The site collects information from iTunes on both the newly released and most popular albums available on the iTunes store. It fetches the album cover in high-resolution from online stores such as Amazon, and matches every album dynamically with torrent downloads available on various BitTorrent sites.
The Bit-Tunes administrator told TorrentFreak: The purpose of the site is to discover great music albums and new artists, and download music DRM-free without the need to go through the iTunes Store or own an iPod. I have a bunch more ideas of which contextual information can be added to every album (buy it on Amazon, preview / listen online), to provide an even better user experience.
LookTorrent
LookTorrent is another BitTorrent meta-search engine that was launched recently. The difference with PizzaTorrents is that search results are presented in tabs, similar to Torrent-Finder. Each tab shows the search results of one BitTorrent site, and you can select which sites you want to search. In addition, LookTorrent allows users to rate the sites and it displays search suggestions at the bottom of every results page.
ShareByte
ShareByte is different from most other search engines because it is a community driven site where users add and edit the torrents. At the moment is is still a bit low on content, but the idea might appeal to people who like to participate. All the files are categorized and links to subtitles, video trailers, IMDB ratings and more are included, or can be added by users.
In addition, the site offers some useful features to registered users, as they can add torrents to their favorites and rate the audio and video quality of the files.
As said before, BitTorrent meta-search engines can be really useful, but they are useless if all the sites they index host the same .torrent files. A bit more diversity might be a good idea, especially in the long term.
Do you know any other new BitTorrent sites that are worth visiting? Leave a comment and share it with us…

thanks for these awesome.
Hmm.. Still need more trackers and less search tools.
They all seem pretty worthwhile yet still pretty early to tell for most. Thanks for the sites.
[quote]Hmm.. Still need more trackers and less search tools.[/quote]
I agree.
[quote comment="289905"][quote]Hmm.. Still need more trackers and less search tools.[/quote]
I agree.[/quote]
I agree as well. It is not a good trend that most new BitTorrent sites don’t host .torrent files, let alone host a tracker.
Do we really need more torrent meta-search engines?
People will not use search engines as long as they don’t have any torrents themselves. Why use meta-search someplace else, when you can do it on suprnova.org, TPB or Mininova? Not to mention all the private sites around.
http://gamerseed.net is a promising new legal torrent start-up :)
i only use youtorrent for meta-search :D so, for me it şs just another website :)
Long live BitTorrent! Down with MPAA.
NO No No..
Piracy must be stopped..
According to Wikipeadia
Keanu Reeves was paid only $20 million + 15 % of the gross on the film The Matrix Reloaded/The Matrix Revolutions.
That’s only $185 million !!
How the hell are actors supposed to live on such little money!!
You pirates are destroying lives!
“…guilty of ‘commercially’ assisting others to commit copyright infringement by ’simplifying’ access to illegal content.”
search engines can’t save themselves if anti-piracy organizations want to kick their asses too.
it doesnt matter you are not hosting torrent file and linking to it. so don’t deceive yourself and be a man.
i’m still looking for a bittorrent site besides isohunt for comics, since demonoid went down :(
You know all these “meta searches” just index the same big sites such as mininova and isohunt. That means whatever “meta search” you choose you’re getting basically the same content. They contribute almost nothing to bittorrent, they’re just out for another slice of the ad revenue pie.
There is something you can do to stop the influx of flashy yet worthless new search engines. Stop blogging about them!
Really the only thing torrent related that I am looking for is the return of Demonoid
We have enough search engines now. We need another tracker… or better methods of maintaining anonymity.
you shouldn’t promote those sites, they dont have a tracker, they just want to make money
Thanks for the info. I checked them out and I really liked the Pizza Torrent. The search was quick to load and indexed by the searchers choice. But they are all pretty good.
I like PizzaTorrent (for the original name) :P but I still prefer YouTorrent because it supports my screen’s low resolution :D
Here’s another new BitTorrent website for all anime fans: http://www.fansub-bt.com.
Why not fork Tor (torproject.org) and create a new onion network?
ShareByte.org is looking really promising
today i came across a site that looks very similar to demonoid, i loved demonoids layout and easy it was to use. so i gave it a try, and im getting great speeds on my movie downloads. i really think this could be the next great community.
http://www.torrentstorage.com
Yes i agree as well, we dont need more search engines, christ theres enough as it is.
More search engines is completely pointless at this point with BT, get on some real sites people and stop slumming in the TPB.
hey found this new torrent site….you can upload just about anything.

seedmonster.com is pretty good to
Pizza torrent is very nice..! Thanks..!
Suprnova and Torrentz are all that I need.
@11 Lol, Good one!
cock monster ate my cock
i agree that the world needs more trackers than it has now not more search or index sites
that would be a huge contribution
How many damn torrent meta-search sites do we really need? My question is how much is TF is getting paid by the “promoted” sites to blog on and on about them, when they all do the same blasted thing.
Seriously… please post something worthy of reading!
The main problem with torrent meta-search sites is that they provide very little data about the torrents. With all the junk floating around, I prefer to view the ‘details’ of a torrent before choosing to download it. However; they can be great when searching for hard-to-find stuff - without having to visit each and every torrent site.
Now, if someone would finally come out with a good PRIVATE torrent meta-search, I’d be really happy.
We need more seeds lol
Two points:
First, we need more trackers and less leeching, not this. It´s only pretty faced interfaces to the same old torrent stash. It is becoming an ugly trend to rip-off TPB and Mininova.
Second, that “Bit-Tunes” is almost begging for a lawsuit. I wonder how much time it takes to make Apple start a legal assault. And maybe also Bittorrent Inc., who knows, they are a corporation now.
you need only 3 sites for public torrents.
1. thepiratebay. torrents are not deleted, own tracker.
2. mininova. no tracker/deletes torrent, BUT they ban fake uploaders.
3. google. just type the title of your search and the word ‘torrent’ big chance it will return a result for a torrent site.
funfile.org
stmusic
supertorrents
all decent
http://www.ozone-torrents.org is a new one…..private tracker
I think that torrent-finder.com is pretty good.
i agree with zune, try http://www.torrentstorage.com its a very good site!
http://www.rpgbugs.com
What.cd
- move along
ftw
http://www.mariposaHD.tv
CC-licensed HDTV videos for free from their own tracker
big stars aren’t the only ones who work on the movies…
http://www.ttoktv.com
Kids TV! :-)
enough with meta-search engines, there are thousands now…
it’s all about verified public bittorrent communities that give direct access to torrent files.
SuperFundo is still the best i’ve found… any others out there guys?
>> http://superfundo.org/
Would like to add our site to this list here…very freindly group..always up to date with the latest releases…
http://galacticcentral.org/
i guess some people want to earn some easy advertising money, instead of letting the trackers have it by making people visit their sites. boycot this bullshit and use google.
well,
http://www.torrentstorage.com/
makes me feel quite homey! Hope it can live up to it’s design model ;)
I’ll definetly join it and give it a try!!!
RuFiles.ru - russian promising tracker
bit-tunes sounds quite attractive but it says “database error” …
so, torrentz.com still rulz
[quote comment="289954"]We have enough search engines now. We need another tracker… or better methods of maintaining anonymity.[/quote]
I agree with you!!!!!
I have started blogging about the torrents (music + movies) which I like, with links and opinions. People can use it as a source of filtered recommendations. It’s at http://torrenttimes.wordpress.com
Torrentz is all wht you need…. you don`t really need to search in dozens of engines…. let torrentz do it for you.
Oh good, another search engine.
All these new torrent sites are like a shotgun, one cock and they blow.
scrapetorrent.com seems to do a good trick by scraping a few popular torrent sites. Although it seems to be quite ad-heavy, results nonetheless are very good.
you need java installed to run pizza torrent. I’ll stick with the 20,000 other search engines that don’t.
look at
http://www.btarena.org/
Unless you go directly to the tracker sites themselves(ie Pirate Bay etc), these three sites should help with most searches of public torrents;
Isohunt.com
Easy to use and will give a lot of hits. Downside is that torrent descriptions/comments are absent…
Now, if they just took some time to clean obsolete/fake torrents…
Mininova.org
Many hits, good layout/torrent descriptions, good moderating
Btmon.com
Fast search results and lots of hits.
Also, if you hit one of the tracker urls in the tracker list for a torrent, you get most of that trackers torrents…good to keep in mind if search/browse is disabled for any unregistered on a specific tracker…
Lacks in moderation though…
Don’t use this site without very good adblockers…
Of course, this apples to the general average of torrents, not necessarily for a given segment; if you for example specialize in anime, this combo, in addition to the above ones, is recommended;
Animesuki.com
Anirena.com
TokyoTosho.com
NyaaTorrents.org
Once again, this applies to the general anime, specific niches might require yet other combo’s…
Someone ought to make a treepad file of torrent trackers/search sites, sorted after the specific areas, and somehow keep that updated online…
As it is now, most are just each others copies, with same output, and that just makes things unnnecessarily messy…

Exactly. Which basically means a site with its own tracker, its own userbase and an interesting interface with a database search which actually works!

stop posting about all the same web20 crap meta searches. the oldest and best one to compare search results is still http://www.torrents.to
people, pirate bay hands down.
case closed.
thanks for the http://torrentstorage.com link
It VERY nice. Its an actual tracker and not as search engine as well
Yes I agree with the comments in regards to Meta Search engines being junk.
Why this site doesn’t give this space to sites like Torrentstorage.com and others similar who are trying to build a user based site with GOOD torrents and not fakes/passworded and trojan filled is beyond me.
Anyhow those who are using the good tracker sites out there know where it’s at and it is unfortunate that newer users of .torrent are seeing this sort of crap to use for a method of a good community of how torrents are to be used - since these are the sites that continue to promote basically the hit and runs
I will continue to enjoy sites like http://www.torrentstorage.com and scenemachine and a few others and hope the lot of you do the same
Submit your torrent search sites at Sputtr.com. Link: http://www.sputtr.com/submit.php
[quote comment="289909"]Do we really need more torrent meta-search engines?[/quote]
No, we need just one of them to import
comments, or atleast links to it. Isohunt promised it years ago, and seem useless without it.
are there torrents that post only old movies & TV shows ?

“Do you know any other new BitTorrent sites that are worth visiting? Leave a comment and share it with us…”
Hello everyone,
http://randombytes.org/
The is very new but we’re working on improvements as we speak. It’s probably best to sign up now as most of our torrents are going to be set to freeleech for a while. Pre-times are usually pretty good. Anyway, feel free to stop in and check it out. If anyone is interested in becoming an uploader or if you need anything else, feel free to send me a private message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Cheers!

good site, thx. happy torrent freak.

They will all FAIL! Remember what happned to the flash based site? FAIL! Torrentz will just shut em down like they did b4.
[quote comment="290553"]stop posting about all the same web20 crap meta searches. the oldest and best one to compare search results is still http://www.torrents.to/quote
Which is, you’ve guessed it, just another web 2.0 crap meta search-site.
http://torrentz.com does a far better job, in my view. And has a readable font-size, ffs.
The new TorrentSearch Engines look fancy. But they all nearly index the same sh*t .. ehm … sites.
I use a customized Google Search Engine which I found on the internet and which is working really good for me. It indexes over 80 Torrentsites which is much more than all the other meta search engines out their indexes. ;)
But have a look yourself:

On their forum - I just found out - they asterix out the word demonoid. Like, how old are these kids? Kindergarten bullies, that’s what they are. No respect for Deimos or the source of their userbase.

Well the site shows Demonoid words on it for me and hey if anything if it did block out Demonoid I guess it would be just the same as the demon forums blocking out ALL other torrent sites names ;)
Either way you go enjoy what you enjoy, there is nothing wrong with having some fun with a used to be site out there
Whats the scene think about all these torrent trackers popping up making their releases public?
[quote comment="289889"]Hmm.. Still need more trackers and less search tools.[/quote]
Please give us a tutorial on how to set up and maintain a tracker which will evade the sheriffs. Thanks.
youtorrent.com isn’t working
TSD-Trader.info is a great private but registration is open tracker for MMA and other such files with good speeds and fast ups im hooked there lol
after reading thru it really feels good to be among you all. thanx for ur contribution
Here’s another one for you:

1300 torrents and rising

These sites are shite
PizzaTorrent? Give me a break.
More actual trackers are needed, not silly search engines who want to make $ on advertising.
and they say its us tracker owners that are raking in the money jeez!!
these places are just for that, they just wanna help themselves.
its about time TF gave proper news not this shite that they get back handers for.
trackers are the ones that are part of the community not these stupid meta search sites that are just there to make the ppl money while the ppl helping bittorrent by running a tracker are struggling to stay afloat.
support the ppl that help the community not the ones that just wanna make money off it via ads n stuff!!!!
TF should change its name to META_FREAK!!
Ernesto for gods sake stop with this shit!
support the ones who actually give to the community not just the ones that reape other sites for their torrents to make themselves money and give them big ego’s.

Iv’e been doing this for years. type what you want add torrent.
go with well knowen trackers and read comments to be safe.
Thanks Wordpress for erasing my comment. You can bite me, frigging piece of shite web editor. Anyways…props to a small handful of gems listed in this article…the rest will have to be sifted through to see if they are good or not.

Honestly it makes me sick how much actors and athletes make. While people are working hard labor and going to college at the same to make ends meet, people are pretending on film and playing games to make millions.
YouTorrent appears to be a crap search engine.
A search for a single unique torrent brings up 4 results for the same BT hash. WTF is the point of that ?
Go f yourself peter..deal with it we are here to stay
The Keanu Reeves post by Peter = the best reply ever
Now, I have another cool site for you - and guess what, it’s no meta-search engine! ;) This site is like a bittorrent client that leeches from your PC only and converts your videos on the fly into a nice Flash Stream. Trailers are shown while buffering, all you need is decent upload or some friends that seed with you. Pretty cool for watching episodes at work! :)
all game torrent legal http://www.gameupdates.org/
For TV torrents http://www.spotep.com/spotted is great, which combines a TV schedule with direct links to torrent searches !
For the largest source of torrents you can’t go past Morrent.com they have more torrents then anyone I have seen.
And, now it looks like they are bringing out a new uTorrent gadget for Vista.
have a look http://www.morrent.com/
If you want to see a real Torrent site that leads the way in innovations, you should check out http://www.torrential.ws for example. They bring out new stuff faster than nearly any other site on the planet and many of the other sites actually get their materials from Torrential.
http://www.torrential.ws IS awesome. I joined a while ago and they have TV episode torrents up faster than the other sites do and amazing speeds, and lots of other stuff. They have a great community too, with really helpful Mods, not like some of the other sites where you’re afraid of being banned for asking a n00b question. :)

http://www.torrential.ws is the best!!! Other sites force you to wait up to 48 hours to get the newest Torrents. NOT at Torrential!!! You can start downloading as soon as you join. Plus they give you a good ratio to help you get started.
i am going to have to agree with the above posts. i just went to the webiste as i had never heard of this site Torrential. Can i say from what i can see its an awesome community. Quick files and great support when i asked a few qusestions in the forums and shoutbox.i would recommend it to anyone.
Ok guys, I checked out torrential.ws and they did start u out with a great ratio. I was just gonna ask in the shoutbox when Supernatural was coming because it was just finished on TV and BANG there it was and i got it in minutes. I had no problems seeding it back fast either because lots of peeps jumped on it right away (must be thru RSS) in fact my ratio is already 6! This site rules for sure, yep!
Here is a new one - an easy, legal way to search mininova and pirate bay - http://www.PiraBoogle.com
