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…

[quote comment="290412"]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.[/quote]
Iv’e been doing this for years. type what you want add torrent.

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.
[quote comment="289938"]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![/quote]
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
