This is a comparison of BitTorrentsites that includes most of the most popular sites. These sites typically contain multiple torrent files and an index of those files.
Features[edit]
- BitTorrent sites may operate a BitTorrent tracker. Operating a tracker should not be confused with hosting content.
- A directory allows users to browse the content available on a website based on various categories. A directory is also a site where users can find other websites.
- BitTorrent sites may either focus on certain content — such as etree that focuses on live concerts— or may have no particular focus, like The Pirate Bay. Some sites specialize as search engines of other BitTorrent sites.
- Most private trackers do not make the news and therefore are not listed in this comparison.[1]
- As noted by lifehacker sites like corrupt-net.org rank trackers by 'pre time'.[2]
Google downranking[edit]
In October 2014, Google Search results were affected by anti-piracy algorithms, which includes downranking popular BitTorrent sites in search results. The algorithm works when Google users search for movie, music or software titles in combination with terms such as 'download,' 'watch' and 'torrent'. Popular BitTorrent sites are demoted in the list; the traffic reduction depends on the site, but some sites experienced nearly a 50% reduction in visitors.[3]
