Visual Guide: the Top 35 Torrent Sites of 2010
1. Torrent Tree
Gary and his team of P2P programmers bring us a new site in Ajax code language. Like any metasearch engine, Torrent Tree pulls its results from many other search engines. But Torrent Tree pulls *more* search results than any other current metasearch site. Definitely give these new players a try.
2. Cinema Torrents
CinemaTorrents.com offers something really unique: IMDB ratings and vote information right on the search page. You can see public opinions on the movie itself before you download.
3. ExtraTorrent
ExtraTorrent is a busy-looking site, and yes, it has some popup advertising that can be annoying. BUT: this very visual site also offers some really packed information that many users will appreciate: the torrents have movie plot summaries, photos of the actors, user comments on the stories, names of the users who verified the torrent, and visual crosslinks to similar movies. I personally like how ExtraTorrents features some really obscure gems in the left column... a very helpful feature for real movie and TV buffs looking to discover new shows.
4. yourbittorrent.com
This site is simple and clean, with almost no advertising. The results are fast, easy to scan, and plentiful. You have to love a simple and straightforward service that delivers convenient and quick results... like yourbittorent.com delivers for downloaders.
5. Toorgle
Toorgle uses the Google engine to search the Web for torrents. It doesn't provide seeds and verification information at a glance. Instead, Toorgle is useful for locating obscure music and video files that you won't find on the more popular sites.
6. Isohunt
April 2010: Isohunt.com is now offering a revised service under the name 'Isohunt Lite'. The CRIA has compelled Isohunt to change its ways, or else be prosecuted for secondary copyright infringement. Accordingly, Isohunt Lite is formatted to be a form of 'Web-wide torrent Google', but with the sorting, ranking, and user rating features of Isohunt.com. Read all the details at the Isohunt Lite web page above.
Simultaneously, Isohunt.com is also available at an asian domain name, 'Isohunt.hk'.
7. BTjunkie
BTjunkie is a solid torrent service for many reasons: it has a massive database, it offers torrent email updates of new additions, Twitter updates, and useful reporting and comment features.
8. Torrent Pond
Torrentpond.com has been recommended by several users this spring of 2010. As a meta-searcher, Torrentpond will scour other sites for you, atempt to filter out old and fake torrents, and then offer you an easy-to-browse list. It also showcases recent torrents, which is a good feature for regular downloaders. The advertising is plentiful, and you will need to tune it out and go around some popups, but the thorough searches are often worth it.
9. Now Torrents
Now Torrents (allegedly) offers a special service: it filters out fake/dead torrents. It also offers date-range searching, so you can search for specific years of content (e.g. Flight of the Conchords, 2008).
10. btscene
btscene is a longtime player in the file sharing game. This website does have annoying popups and adult advertising, but it does offer a solid library of torrents. It does a good job of featuring very recent torrents (good for people who follow television shows), and presenting many browsing choices at a glance.
