]]> Torrentspy is in the lead with a traffic rank of 153, followed by mininova (165) and The Pirate Bay (198). The huge amounts of traffic that these sites generate, and the fact that they keep on growing shows that the popularity of BitTorrent is still on the rise. Torrentz is currently in fourth place, but has not entered the top 200 yet.

It is hard to tell if these sites will ever stop growing, and if they will ever make it into the top 100 without one of them going down, but we’ll see what the future brings. Isohunt, the site that bumped the other sites into the top 200, is currently moving their servers from The USA to Canada, and will probably be up and running soon.

Note: Alexa’s data gathering is quite dubious. The exact figures may be not be completely accurate, but it is a great tool (especially the traffic rank) to compare sites within the same niche and to get a global impression of traffic shifts over time.
