Current Moon Phase. When people torrent, they usually pick one of these sites:. However, while torrenting itself is not illegal, downloading copyrighted content is considered piracy, and it can land you in trouble. If you are, make sure to use a VPN to protect yourself online. Kickass torrents got taken down a few years ago. Regardless of which torrent sites you prefer, your internet service provider might restrict access to some of your favorite torrent sites or might track your torrenting behavior.
A VPN is your best friend to counter these issues. A VPN will allow you to unblock every torrent site and also keep you safe and anonymous when torrenting. VPNs encrypt your data traffic and hide your IP address and identity. One of our personal favorites is NordVPN. These are the best torrent sites still on the market, and you can access any one of them to find your favorite files.
Download speed is the average speed for downloading torrents from a certain site. While that information is reliable only as a ballpark reference, keep in mind that this will vary a lot based on the torrent itself, as well as your internet connection. Library size will be included for websites whenever possible. Torrent type and variety are also important when choosing which torrent sites to use.
Ad intrusion is also important when deciding what torrent site to use. If you have to go through eight ads just to browse for a file, it might be time to find a new torrent site.
In our research, there were about 3 to 4 popular torrent sites that we decided not to include due to the ad intrusion level. Security is very important when downloading torrents. After all, there are plenty of shady torrenting platforms on the internet that could compromise your online security. Website: Visit a working Pirate Bay Mirror. Attention: The Pirate Bay is blocked in many countries even mirror sites , so you might need a VPN to change your virtual location and unblock the Pirate Bay.
The Pirate Bay has been a crowd favorite for many years. However, considering the number of mirrors and blocking attempts, that number may be skewed , and 20 to 60 million visits a month is perhaps a bit more accurate. The Pirate Bay is popular for its large community, which ensures at least one seeder on almost any torrent on the site, no matter the age.
We tried downloading obscure titles from even over a decade ago, and we found that there were still happy seeders to help out.
You can also look at our list of Pirate Bay alternatives for more options. RARBG is a large directory of torrents, famous for a very active community of seeders and high-quality torrents. Its library size is decent, and it gets updated often, meaning that you have a high chance of finding new torrents on the site. The only difference is that ad intrusion is more annoying on RARBG, so take that into account when choosing one of the two. There are a lot of phishing scams going around with RARBG-looking sites, so make sure you learn about secure browsing.
Website: X website. Some people use it to browse for game torrents as well, but from our research, it does look like both RARBG and The Pirate Bay have more torrents in that category, especially for older titles. A few years ago, X was a bad choice for torrenting since it was clunky to navigate and it posed a lot of security risks.
Since then, it went through an entire site revamp , making it seamless to browse and a lot safer. For shows and movies, you also have improved browsing functionalities, like searching by award nomination. The creators only make money through bitcoin donations from what we can see. Mirrors: x. Website: Torrentz2 website.
While this is not that big of a torrent site — only amassing million users a month and unable to sport much of a library for general torrents — Torrentz2 is very good for finding music. Not to mention, any type of browsing options — like searching by album, artist, or song — would be greatly appreciated. Second, ad intrusion is minimal, and the interface is beautiful. Lastly, classics are readily available on the platform. If you want high-definition episodes of your favorite shows, EZTV is the place to go.
I also got some wonderful books there. I also like to use the PirateBay to research for movies and books. My collection is growing by the day. I read that the torrent site PirateBay was down due to legal issues. What a pity! Sites like this must exist and be supported by all of us. It provides a source for software, books, movies, music and more that are difficult to find elsewhere. However, I think that the administrators of this site are making two mistakes. First, most of the ads I saw are full of strong sexual content.
This is no good, as even minors can access it. Second, it uses your computer to mine crypto currencies. This is by no means something acceptable. It is like having a spy on your computer. How do I know what other activities are happening on my laptop? What if an unscrupulous individual uses this feature to introduce bots or other malicious software?
I cannot agree with this. Despite the fact that many companies and governments have pursued actions to shut down the PirateBay, this torrent site is still alive and healthy. This has been the result of collaboration between many people, who continuously contribute with books, music, movies, TV shows and more; and those who provide proxy sites for the benefit of others. This is the beauty of the Internet. Even the powerful cannot silence it, and thus, it becomes the voice of many.
Particularly, people like me, who live in underdeveloped countries, this torrent site is very important. This is due to the fact that a lot of art and knowledge sources are not directly available, but only through indirect ways, such as torrents. Living in the Middle East results in several limitations. Amongst them, the access to books, movies, music and software. However, with torrent sites, such as the PirateBay, many of these things are easily obtained.
That is the reason why I consider the PirateBay a tool. This tool is excellent, not only due to the vast amount of material available, but also due to its good speed and ease of use. The only problem is that sometimes this site is down, and thus inaccessible. Fortunately, there are several proxy sites that fill the vacuum. What a bad torrent!
Always inaccessible. I even tried a few mirror sites. But still the same. And when I finally got access, my computer slowed down due to the crypto mining! That is a lot of use of your machine. Add to this, the risk of getting a virus, and the result is that it is not worth trying the PirateBay.
The description is accurate, as the site has more than 18 years and despite legal battles it continues to stand in a miraculous way. While the site is older, the initial iteration of the ship logo has been around since , although a similar one was in They continued to add torrents, but the website design is pretty much the same you would see and expect. Yet this shows how even a site like this can change. It might not be a business, but The Pirate Bay did end up getting money from an entrepreneur in its early days.
Despite the fact that the site itself is not that legitimate, they do have a commercial policy to charge people that violate their rules. The Pirate Bay started to expand to other projects. BAYIMG is a site designed to help you find images and the site existed for 7 years until it was shut down due to obvious reasons. Not even a site like this is safe from attacks. Hackers will do anything to access important data and they did hack The Pirate Bay some times too. Facebook is stopping all The Pirate Bay links in posts.
While the post is allowed to exist, that link will be removed. And it happens in Messenger too. Microsoft does this too. You can expect the download speed to differ based on where you are. Sometimes it might be very good, other times not so much. It varies due to where the other persons with this file are, if they have good internet and so on. The Pirate Bay is also on Twitter and it has a tpb hashtag that a lot of people use almost daily. If you go on Google or any other search engine you can find dozens of alternatives to The Pirate Bay.
Some of them are also dealing with legal action, but others are still safe. Unfortunately The Pirate Bay is quite unreliable, sometimes it can be online, other times less so. But it shows that not even a site like this can stay online long. At this time you are unable to register any account on TPB. While you can use them, you are using all of this at your own risk.
You never really know what you can get and what they are doing. Since not mirrors are official, you will find some scam ones. There are sites that use this as a way to clickbait you and bring malware onto your system. Try to avoid that. TPB maybe has the largest database of magnet links in the world.
While TPB is not online all the time due to legal problems, they are constantly adding new stuff all the time. This is strange but true. TPB did want to buy the micronation of Sealand this past decade and most likely use it as a base for the servers.
Despite issues and all sorts of legal issues, TPB still focuses on the idea of free internet. They are trying to make it easy for people to share content with one another. Free speech and free content are hard to pursue today due to legal challenges in many countries. TPB is very open about that and through its premise you get to see that it actively tries to help people.
It happens when you have a very popular website. A lot of copyscat sites appeared but if anything it shows that you will enjoy the experience and the process itself. A lot of people believe that TPB creates content. They are not creating any of that. They just have magnet links to connect you with other people that have the content. In order for people to access the torrent files, they are keeping the magnet files online.
This is a peer to peer thing, so you are sharing files with other people. This is one of the many types of malware that can be found in TPB files. They do have a store, and you can buy all kinds of cool stuff including stickers. While the number of crypto attacks is not that high, you will still notice that some torrents have all kinds of crypto miners. This comes with the fact that you are getting free stuff, so you are risking things as you can imagine.
The SOPA immunity comes as no secret. This makes sense, considering that the website is facing legal action. TPB, like many other torrent sites have added the option to stream videos instead of downloading them. That was around a decade ago, it shows that the site was generating quite the income since they wanted to buy an island.
Obviously things are way different now, but the sheer idea of buying an entire island is something unheard of especially in a spectrum like this.
This evolved with the times. Since there are numerous people accessing this type of content from mobile, it makes sense to have touchscreen support of any way. One of the reasons why TPB is so popular is because you can download anything at any given time.
There are no restrictions and you will enjoy the experience and great value provided by them, which is what you really need. You really need to figure out how to approach all of this in a clever manner.
Every different TPB clone is distinct, yet they all look the same. Which means it can be very hard to figure out how to approach this and how you can handle the entire process in a meaningful way.
TPB does have a copyright attack against sites that mimic them. And they are constantly dealing with copyright attacks themselves due to obvious reasons. This means you can modify it or even create your own TPB version if you want. Obviously you are free to use this on your own, not commercially. TPB phenomenon has been featured in many books related to the copyright laws. And this continues to impress industry professionals with its resilience and how the site still survives even today.
You can find a TPB forum online and all kinds of content related to that. Aside from that, you also have books that feature TPB and its unique way it managed to express internet freedom. This is a valuable insight into the modern society and all these books are well worth a read. You are free to download without actually having any account on TPB. You can still access the download function at any given time. However, TPB is facing legal action and they are not exactly getting any personal information from you.
Files with malware might steal your data, and you can find those in TPB files. At least this way you know that everything is safe and you are not worrying all the time that something bad happens.
TPB is a multilingual website. It has at least 35 different translations, and the site continues to expand in other languages too. It goes to show just how powerful and unique TPB really is and how it managed to expand during all these years in a great manner. Pirate Bay user reviews Megan. Kevin D.
