Torrentz Introduces Verified Torrents and More New Features

The popular BitTorrent meta-search engine Torrentz.com has introduced several new features, including “verified” movies and TV-shows. The site is now hosted in multiple datacenters – with full redundancy – to guarantee optimal service to its users.

torrentzTorrentz, ranked 4th in our list of most popular BitTorrent sites of 2007, has implemented quited a few changes over the past month. Some people might have noticed that setting up the new features and servers led to some temporarily inconveniences, as users were not able to add comments or votes. Luckily, the site is now fully operational again, with some great improvements and a new layout.

One of the most interesting enhancements to the site are the verified torrents. Torrentz now marks all torrent files from trusted sources with a green checkmark. These torrent files are uploaded by known groups such as aXXo, FxM, FXG and KLAXXON for movies, and EZTV for TV-shows. This makes it easier to find out whether a file is legit or not. These verified torrents are also listed on the frontpage of Torrentz, together with the search cloud.

Another interesting feature that was recently added is the profile page for registered users. On the profile page users can check their recent activity such as comments and votes. There also is an option to change the password and email address. Flippy, the administrator of Torrentz.com told TorrentFreak that he also plans to add the most frequent searches for every individual user there.

Flippy further told us that he will add verified music torrents soon, most likely in a separate music section. And, when all the major changes are implemented he might even consider to make Torrentz compatible with Internet Explorer 6. However, the speed of the site will always have the highest priority, no matter what. When we asked him how many users Torrentz has at the moment, he told us that he had no clue, “Installing a Google Analytics tracking code will slow the site down,” he added.

For those who haven’t seen Torrentz’ updates yet, have a look, it is without a doubt the fastest BitTorrent meta-search engine.

    Torrentz’ verified torrents are nothing new @ the site.

    Torrentz might have been 4th in their poll, but it’s 1st in my book. The best part is how they list so many extra trackers for torrents that most of the time aren’t included in the torrent file itself. Copy and paste the tracker list from Torrentz into uTorrent and your peer/seed numbers increase dramatically and the download takes A LOT less time.

    If he’s going to “add the most frequent searches for every individual user there” it means every search at that site is logged… there better be an option to turn that off or I have to find a new favourite torrent search engine.

  • Jasper van Weerd

    It would be great if we could switch to the search to a verified state… then all the other rubish doesn’t create server load.

    happy with TPB tbh

  • Anon

    Pretty stupid when you click on “axxo” and it shows up “klaxxon” torrents as well.

  • No one special

    I think I’ll quite happily stick with the actual sites for RLSLOG, EZTV, NewTorrents and TPB – at least you can find what you are looking for as soon as it’s uploaded and not have to wait on another stupid search engine to pick it up as well.

  • James

    hmmm…that verified picture looks JUST like the uTorrent connection image…

  • John

    its the best torrent site, youtorrent just searches other sites, its just stupid but torrentz categorize torrents.
    But im still waiting for the favorites! :(

    same results for the same keywords?
    netstat?
    are you 12?

  • Pchycho

    “same results for the same keywords?

    are you 12?”

    Okey so you are watching the users in realtime by using netstat :/
    Thats make me feel much safer…NOT!
    then you are intrested in what we are doing on your server and most pirates see that as a security risk.
    And that your privacy rules states that you arent watching us is just bullshit then.

    No iam not 12 iam 21. how old are you? 90yo ? your brain seems a bit disfunctional and retarded..

    PLEASE COULD SOMEONE CHECK THIS POST I FOUND and tell me if it works???

    “MAKE $50K – FAST & LEGAL”
    Posted by dcwill43 on Aug-31-06 at 01:23 PM (PT)
    Make $50,000 fast- perfectly legal! REALLY WORKS!

    THIS IS NOT A JOKE…….IT REALLY WORKS…….I SWEAR!

    Matthew Jenneson, Cleveland, Oh -”within 2 hours I had $400″

    Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ?
    Do you have a PayPal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT’S TOTALLY FREE !!! )
    You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month’s time with more money coming in every month thereafter !

    $ 50,000 in PayPal ?
    That’s Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!!
    You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal.
    $ 10 that’s all it takes. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet.
    To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your PayPal account or even more.
    Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Intregrity make this system work.
    I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE ! If you’re not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.
    Sign up for PayPal here http://www.paypal.com
    It’s real easy to set up and it’s FREE !!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.
    Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: “Please add me to your list”. This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: “Thank you. I’ve joined”.
    Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th.
    DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST !
    If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top.
    REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message “PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST”, and send an e-mail with the words “THANK YOU – I’VE JOINED” and the other $5.00 dollars to the 5th person.
    This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list:
    1.) desaulles3@yahoo.com
    2.) Justin3442@aim.com
    3.) neuclaalum1@hotmail.com
    4.) jhorton999@yahoo.com
    5.) deeprules@hotmail.com
    (Make sure it’s the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment)
    Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via PayPal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 “THANK YOU. I’VE JOINED” replies.
    The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are.
    MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!!
    Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it’s common sense – you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!!
    You will recieve thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! )
    ********************
    TESTIMONIALS:
    Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC:
    I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD ! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming ! I’m still floating in air (especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work ! THANKS !
    Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:
    I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $ 22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account !
    HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS AGAIN:
    Step 1.
    Set up your PayPal account, if you don’t already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON’T FORGET to include “Please add me to your list”. This is important as it keeps the program legal.
    Step 2.
    Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and and a note stating “Thank you. I’ve joined” to the 5th name on the list.
    Step 3.
    Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts.
    Step 4.
    Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 “Thank you, I’ve joined” replies in your mailbox.
    That’s it, It’s that simple !

    Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !

    Wow, I dident they would be finished until I heard the good news on TFreak. I know torrentz did not make the top when TFreak had the list, but they are top in my book. :)

    HALF OF THOSE “EXTRA TRACKERS” THAT THEY SHOW ARE BLOCKED BY PEERGUARDIAN CUZ THEY SEND BAD CHUNKS AND FOR OTHER MORE NEFARIOUS REASONS.

  • advocate

    i just used torrentz for the first time and i had spyware installed (using firefox, and i’m very very safe). i haven’t had a computer virus since 2002 but when i clicked on a torrents details suddenly some program called outerinfo appeared in my start menu. i believe i’ve since gotten rid of it, but it crashed my computer every time i tried uninstalling.

    just a heads up really.

  • MrTorrentuser

    Torrentz was my favorite site to use. But the new layout is horrible and you can’t see clear what are the results. Please Please put back the old layout !!!!!!!!!!

  • MrTorrentuser

    I just found out that IE 6 doesn’t show the content good. In FireFox its ok. Indead the layout in Firefox is good but why not in IE6 ??????

  • Anonymous

    Has Torrentz been shut down?

    I just went to it today to find more Axxo movies and the newest Lost to download to find “this website is currently under contruction” it then redirected torrent dot com, with a bunch of vague words at the title bar.

    Something you’d see on a typical spam page occupied by squatters.
