Top Torrent Sites

Posted on the 24 December 2018 by Darkwebnews @darkwebnews

What defines a decent torrenting website is the quality of torrents, which includes a high number of seeders and no fake files.

An average user wants to find the torrent he or she is looking for easily and to download it quickly.

Nobody enjoys browsing a website for hours just to find that they have just downloaded a fake torrent or a virus.

For that purpose, we have put together a list of top torrent websites. However, keep in mind that due to the nature of torrenting, you should be using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to hide your IP address and avoid problems with the authorities.

Also, always use an ad blocker to prevent annoying pop-up windows from messing with your user experience.

Note: This guide does not cover the speeds of torrents on each website. Given the fact that download speed is conditioned by the number of seeders, the more seeders a file has, the less time it will take to download it.

As such, it's not the website that is responsible for the speed but the number of seeds and peers a torrent has.

The Pirate Bay was founded in 2003 by Swedish activists. In 2006, the owners of the website had changed, and the company's headquarters were moved to Seychelles in East Africa.

Despite numerous efforts by authorities to take down the website, The Pirate Bay is still the most popular torrenting platform.

Here you can browse torrents by keywords. You can narrow down your search by selecting one of the filters (audio, video, applications, games or adult content).

If you are a torrenting newbie, below the search bar, you can find a comprehensive guide on how to download torrents.

In the section, you can find some basic information about the website. The Pirate Bay has an active community that you can become a part of on the page.

You can also create an account, read the usage policy, or change a language. The Blog section is rarely updated, but on the other hand, the forum is quite lively.
