Top 20 Less Known BitTorrent Sites

Written by Ernesto on February 27, 2007 

We all know about mininova, The Pirate Bay and Torrentz, but what few know is that there are a host of less known torrent sites that also have some great, and sometimes rare, content. Here are 20 of these less known torrent sites.

So what is “Less Known”? Well, we used the Alexa ranking as our criteria, all the sites in this list are not in the top 5000 (5000 most visited sites on the Internet). The order of the sites is random, and the list includes some meta search engines as well.

Do you know a relatively unknown public BitTorrent site that should be in this list? Put it in the comments.

01. torrentvalley.com

02. yotoshi.com

03. extratorrent.com

04. bitenova.nl

05. torrentscan.com

06. fenopy.com

07. smaragdtorrent.org

08. torrentat.org

09. fulldls.com

10. worldnova.org

11. spynova.org

12. nova9.org

13. 2torrents.com

14. scrapetorrent.com

15. litebay.org

16. monova.org

17. torrents.to

18. torrentradar.org

19. bitdig.com

20. bittorrentshare.com

06 – fenopy.com

A very nice little torrent site but shame about the popups.

2 Feb 28, 2007 at 00:27 by Ernesto

The sites in the list are clean in Firefox though.

3 Feb 28, 2007 at 00:47 by kuken

Are u shure its not alexa 500? never heard of 5000!!!!!!1

4 Feb 28, 2007 at 00:56 by Ernesto

[quote comment="55936"]Are u shure its not alexa 500? never heard of 5000!!!!!!1[/quote]

Every site has an Alexa rank. The lower the rank, the more visitors the site has. In this list are only sites with a rank higher than 5000.

Hope that explains it.

Scrapetorrent is actually way better than Torrentz

6 Feb 28, 2007 at 02:58 by vinz

eztvefnet.org is a good one also

7 Feb 28, 2007 at 05:09 by Rich

mvgroup.org for documentaries and educational stuff;)

8 Feb 28, 2007 at 05:21 by Ringwraith

http://www.isohunt.com Great site

9 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:07 by chreees

btjunkie.org is a search engine just like scrapetorrent. Both are amazing.

10 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:13 by The Liberal Avenger

ChomskyTorrents.org!

http://chomskytorrents.org

More lefty documentaries and educational material than you can shake a stick at!

Demonoid and Torrentleech FTW.

13 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:18 by en3r0

forgot http://www.legittorrents.info

14 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:19 by Josh

http://scrapetorrent.com

This is one I use the most. The site has everything I could ask for (except he removed direct links to torrents) and even has a Firefox search plugin on his site!

I’ve donor status on this site, which really doesn’t offer too much more now, but is still well worth it in my opinion. This site has done very well!

15 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:21 by Jeremy

http://www.torrentleech.com – you need a log in but its really cool also http://www.peturo.com was huge but its not there anymore :(

16 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:23 by Achuultani

http://www.puretna.com/ should be here. It’s an adult torrent tracker, but it’s active, functional, and has a really comprehensive selection of torrents.

17 Feb 28, 2007 at 06:26 by eruc

http://www.demonoid.com and http://eztvefnet.org should be on there as well.

28 Feb 28, 2007 at 07:26 by trev

gotta say the best torrent search engine ever:
http://www.torrentz.com/

29 Feb 28, 2007 at 07:30 by motherdigital

minty torrent

has specialised feeds for popular stuff. listed by high seed low leech stats….

definately not one of the top torrent sites but i use it occasionally

30 Feb 28, 2007 at 08:02 by Ernesto

A lot of good suggestions, but the idea of this post was to make a list of less popular sites

btjunkie, torrentspy, demonoid etcetera are not in the list because they already are quite popular.

31 Feb 28, 2007 at 08:23 by Kram

Check out http://www.t4a.org its not a new site, but it is a small site, and can always use a few new users, thanks for reading.

32 Feb 28, 2007 at 08:28 by Garrey

I 3rd http://www.scrapetorrent.com

33 Feb 28, 2007 at 08:35 by Josh

The best torrent site that I use is http://www.torrent-search.ws

34 Feb 28, 2007 at 09:00 by bobsaget

Scrapetorrent is good because it gets CURRENT results from many different popular torrent sites and DOESNT cache at all.

it’s also very powerful in that you can filter in many ways.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIRACY

35 Feb 28, 2007 at 09:05 by Ben

For films there’s http://www.flixflux.co.uk

36 Feb 28, 2007 at 10:20 by hub

http://www.arenabg.com is very good

37 Feb 28, 2007 at 11:21 by Ahmed

http://ebookshare.net/ is an awesome site, I used it before uni started to see which books would be a better purchase. My fave torrent site by far.

beats Scrapetorrent.
Once you use it, you won’t need many more…

40 Feb 28, 2007 at 12:20 by dasp

Anybody knows a good torrent site with a nice selection of rare/indy music? Public trackers are preffered, as getting an invite on the private ones is a pain…

41 Feb 28, 2007 at 12:26 by Hamish

http://www.libble.com ! Great Rock / Indie Torrent site!

42 Feb 28, 2007 at 12:48 by dain

you could have put in the effort to write at least one line per link, this way it’s pretty much useless for people not wanting to take the time and browse through themselves

43 Feb 28, 2007 at 12:56 by Nestor

http://www.bytorr.com for usual bittorrent stuff, and http://torrent.urrgh.com for legal stuff including a tracker.

Both have news, views, reviews, search functionality, and are pretty decent (and ok, disclaimer I run them to).

Thanks!

torrentbytes.net offers relatively quick download speeds with a massive amount of seeders and almost no leechers as it employs a ratio system which ensures that an seeders are consistent and almost omnipresent.

Empornium WAS good.
That was before it got sold off to Targetpoint. Now it’s woefully underseeded, all the preview pics are linked to spam/adware sites, and it’s rife with shitty ads and bogus links clog up your browser while you browse.

Now it’s all about:

sharetv.org

Growing site, indexing full seasons of tv shows + rss feeds for new episodes.

61 Mar 01, 2007 at 17:27 by dave

lol, you opened up the flood gates there ernesto =)

you know alot of these smaller sites are just indexing the bigger sites to get a slice of the bt traffic pie. Most of the time they index them badly and you think you’ve covered all the sources when you haven’t.

You can get a more reliable search by going the big sites themselves.

62 Mar 01, 2007 at 20:53 by Mavol

How about adding the Alexa rank next to the links? Or a link to the Alexa profile.

Thx for the posting of ScrapeTorrent , its a great clean and fast search engine with Firefox search plug in.

69 Mar 04, 2007 at 03:39 by fronk

i used to use torrentspy mainly, but its gone downhill recently, it’s not showing up a lot of searches (legal threats?) plus the other day i went there and i got an ad for cleaning my system and tried to install some piece of software without me asking. annoying ads are one thing but they went too far this time, trying to install some likely piece of malware. screw torrentspy, its deleted from my bookmarks now.

I keep hearing that scrapetorrent is good, but every time I go there my CPU usage spikes and Firefox comes screeching to a halt. So I guess I’ll never know.

There is an excellent blog entry about some less known sites here:

75 Mar 31, 2007 at 21:46 by Onzog

torrential.kicks-ass.org

No ads of anty kind, no spam emails, no donations solicitation spamming, nothing but fun, games, torrents, and good people gathered into a nice friendly community. More features than any other site on the web. Stuff like an onsite NFO generator so that you dont need to find and install a third party App. They fully support FireFox, IE, and Safari browsers as well as multiple clients from each platform(PC, Mac, Linux) There is way to much to say, just go see the place. There is none like it. Period.

78 Apr 19, 2007 at 05:42 by Kibbles

I like btBeat.com for music – indie, alternative, R&B/Soul, Rock, Metal, Electronic, country, etc. many of the torrents are artists you’ll know but many will be new names to you.

It’s not public but no matter, it’s easy to register with them. The music you can get there is varied and high quality – 256 k mp3. I like the spartan yet functional website design too.

http://torrentscoop.com is a torrent search engine that searches the most popular torrent indexing sites using the power of Google’s algorithm. Don’t look for a torrent on multiple sites when you can easily find it on TorrrentScoop.

VidPirate – http://www.vidpirate.com is a great little site!

They feature torrents from the top sites, within a nice interface.

And they make efforts to filter out sites with adult advertisements so you can download all you want without your mom or your coworkers freaking out!
