Visual Guide: the Top 35 Torrent Sites of 2010 ..part 3
21. The Pirate Bay
News Flash, April 18, 2009: the Stockholm district court has sentenced the four Pirate Bay founders to a year in prison, and over $USD 3.5 million in fines. This is as punishment for violating their country's copyright laws. More on this shocking court ruling here...
22. Vertor
This torrent service claims to filter out bad torrents, viruses, DRM locks, passwords, and fakes. Many readers are pleased with Vertor, and thus far their service has been exemplary. Definitely give Vertor a try.
23. Torrentscan
Another metasearch torrent service, Torrentscan was very popular in 2007 and 2008. While other metasearch engines have surpassed it for speed and appearance, Torrentscan remains a solid choice.
24. ShareReactor
ShareReactor is a search engine for both bit torrents and eDonkey 2000 ("ed2k") file formats. While eDonkey is not nearly as popular today as it was in 2002, some people still use ed2k networking.
25. WiTorrent
WiTorrent is a new recommendation by a couple of About.com readers. The metasearches are slow to load, but the results are consistently strong torrents with strong seed bases.
26. Meganova/SeedPeer
Meganova, which has been rebranded as "SeedPeer", seems to be slow to load these days. Nevertheless, readers have commented that they like this site. New visitors should note the "keyword cloud" wall of text on the home page (this cloud gives you a quick sense of what are popular search phrases lately).
27. Torrentshack (aka "TorrentHunt")
Torrentshack, also known as Torrenthunt, is a rather plain looking search site. But plain is good, because it often means faster searching for people on slower connections. Torrentshack has been recommended by several About.com readers lately.
28. Flixflux
Flixflux is a United Kingdom torrent site that is very popular with European downloaders.
29. Blues Brothers
We are featuring Blues Brothers this month as one of the private sites on this Best Of list. Blues Brothers stands out thanks to its helpful community and strong sharing ethic. Because not just anyone can use this site, Blues Brothers filters out more leeching (selfish) users that its competitors. The community also polices membership by carefully watching each member's upload ratio... if you abuse your ratio, you are blocked from downloading until you donate. This policy may seem a bit harsh, but seeders really appreciate it
30. BiteNova
Formerly known as “Bi-Torrents”, BiteNova is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.
