- digg it
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32It looks functional (as is isohunt and every other clone) but it's really ugly. I think the first site that manages to be fast and elegant (think google or new yahoo) will make a BIG splash.
- w9thwonder, on 10/12/2007, -44/+17Isn't that Piratebay.org?
- blanski, on 10/12/2007, -3/+69Sorry, but thepiratebay's search algorithm sucks.You search for one specific title and get tons of irrelevant results.
Torrentz is the best so far, IMO. - mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Wow.. according to this comparison: http://comparebt.blogspot.com/ --btjunkie has a ***** more torrents than any other site. I don't think it really matters how ugly the site is.
I usually just use the Bitche program.. which searches a few of the popular site databases and uses an excellent search algorithm that weeds out the crap. - davidhildreth, on 10/12/2007, -12/+29every torrent site claims to be the biggest
marked lame - Indrek, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I think it looks nice and clean. Functionality first, eyecandy later. Not everything needs to be web2.0-fied.
- xamox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9http://www.alexaholic.com/btjunkie.org+torrentspy.com+thepiratebay.org+demonoid.com
Their traffic ranking sucks. Demonoid is by far the best I've used. It is invite only but is a private tracker. What that means is the more you share the quicker you get to download. I have been using torrents since the good ole' days of suprnova.org and have to say demonoid has way more torrent than any of those. Torrentspy has the best user interface of anyone out there and is the most digg like. - championchap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"I think it looks nice and clean. Functionality first, eyecandy later. Not everything needs to be web2.0-fied."
web 2.0 dosnt mean making everything pretty, thats should be one of the things that all web designers take into account from the very start.
what use is a site that works, but is cluttered and confusing?
im tempted to say mySpace.. but that site dosnt even work. - JohnboiWaltune, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Googling for "[latest movie] filetype:torrent" already works decently well.
- Indrek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"web 2.0 dosnt mean making everything pretty"
Oh how I wish that were true in the real world. A man's got to have his dreams, though, I suppose. - dan4prez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I found this site a little while ago. It's a good site but it has one big downfall, you have to pay to download some of the torrents.
If you look on the front page, there will be a little lock next to some torrents. Those are the ones were you need an account that you paid for to download those. - dmoney22, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2have we forgotten about scrapetorrent.com already?
- n00ch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.torrentscan.com/
Searches btjunkie, as well as demonoid, downloadanime, piratesbay, and torrentreactor. Clean frame based interface. - kefs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Firefox btjunkie search engine addon:

- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -19/+9Bookmarked for when I'm not browsing from school. The site isn't blocked yet here, I'll give it a week before the network admins go after it..
- MiddleGirth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20Get back to class.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+65..I am in class. I learn more from Digg than from any of my teachers.

LOL:) - dmoney22, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5@mrASSMAN
you must go to one ***** school - forsight, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0you can go back to your bookmark, it comes through!
- MikeHerrmann, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3Your search has been limited to 50% of our database! We are sorry, but we are overloaded (Slashdot).
Rofl got the name wrong- SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Check Slashdot headlines.
Slashdotted and Dugg, and the site is still up and responding.
Pretty darn impressive if you ask me. - Coletrickle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"We are experiencing higher than normal activity. Please try again now."
you were saying :+ - theprez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10The Pirate Bay HQ were raided by police and got their servers back up in 3 days. And.. I don't remember them beeing down when they got dugg and were all over the news. THAT's impressive. btjunkie.. well feels kind of crappy at the moment.
- SmokedL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Check Slashdot headlines.
- TheJosher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I use BitChe for my torrent searching needs.. it's a small windows app that searches TONS of both public and private torrent sites. BTjunkie included.

Highly recommended.- BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Thanks, thats handy.
- microskomp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4excellent program. found what i needed right away with no sifting through web rubbish. thanks!

- lament, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11lol good one!
- cmilki, on 10/12/2007, -11/+7Sure you do... ;)
- Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -4/+41iLaugh at you
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -4/+41@gxcdesign
Your comment implies that the main use of Bittorrent sites is for downloading Music. This is not the case.
It's used mainly for Porn, and it would cost thousands of dollars a month for many Diggers to keep up with their current Porn consumption legitimately. - PrayerNeeder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42Dewey Pissemoff

OOPS SAID*
- drchucks, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1I've tried to use this in the past. It used to be pay only, but looks like they have a free account now. I may try it again.
- BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2This site is just a CSS overhaul and some flashy reflections away from a web 2.0 site that would be lauded as fabulous and no doubt receive numerous exclamation points in the title. Maybe, if you're lucky, a mispelled word or two.
- MooseFruit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22http://www.mininova.org
I find mininova far more reliable and comprehensive for torrents.- alexrandall, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I agree that mininova is more comprehensive than others (isohunt or thepiratebay) but site is really slow for me.
Btw I just found torrents that I'm looking for on btjunkie. But it seems that I need to pay for VIP account. I'll just wait until it relased on mininova, isohunt or thepiratebay....... - cbiz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5yup!! mininova solves my no TV in the house problem.
- alexrandall, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I agree that mininova is more comprehensive than others (isohunt or thepiratebay) but site is really slow for me.
- xerus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33I cant wait to use this for completely legal torrents that are legal in every way and in no way are violating any copyright laws, and are legal.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3@xerus
I'm not really worried about which one is the "Biggest" or the "Best."
I have no trouble finding torrents for the latest Knoppix Live CD releases or any other Linux distros. The same goes for all the game demos. What else do you really need Bittorrent for? - McNash, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3that was the most redundant thing I've ever heard.
+1 torrentz.com
+1 ISOhunt.com - choicetoes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I wish I could dig this comment.

- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2If you really need to find a torrent.
Let me recommend Torrent Harvester
http://torrentharvester.awardspace.com/
Very powerful torrent search tool.
No, spy ware no viruses just clean search.
Don't forget to send the man a donation for his very well done tool.- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1It even searches BT Junkie... Interesting..
- Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Yep there are tons of legal things on there....
- akinder, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4yeah definitely "Ubuntu" "0 results" "Some movie title" "80 results"
But remember, torrents are ONLY used for legal purposes, or so all the nerds here and on slashdot seem to think justifies their reason for stealing. - deabyss, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Becasue guns kill people?
- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@akinder:
The basis for laws in our country (America, assuming you live here too, sorry for the assumption) is that the potential to do harm is not punishable, but rather the actual act. Guns are still legal because they have legit uses, shooting someone = jail. Being alive is not illegal just because you could be a prostitue, but whoring yourself out for cash = bad. Torrents can be used for good things = fine, downloading movies/software/music = bad. - helpimstuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@akinder
Ubunpoo isn't the only Linux distro on the planet. SuSE Linux 10.1 is on the site and the 8th most popular.
- akinder, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4yeah definitely "Ubuntu" "0 results" "Some movie title" "80 results"
- SweetsGreen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Didn't this site go down about a year back????
I noticed that I still have it listed in RSSFeed.- forsight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0that is impossible. btjunkie's birthday was in august of 04.
- forsight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lets hope everyone stays up!
- klaymen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10finally, a different season of boy meets world
- alrahman, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1lame and marked as so.
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Maybe I'm just blind but I don't see how to download without paying.
- saads, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2http://www.torrentz.com
- moonwell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://www.bitsoup.org
- adamsucks, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4I just use TorrentHarvester. It's a windows program that searches hundreds of torrent sites at once and neatly shows you all the results. Also searches usenet and IRC as well.
http://torrentharvester.awardspace.com/
No ads, no spyware, nothing. Just a free little program. Constantly updated, and you can even make your own site search files (to add new sites to the DB) - lumbergh, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4If you have OS X, might I recommend XTorrent (http://xtorrentp2p.com/), just released, which has the usual OS X dual advantages of being both very nice to use, and looks way better than the Windows equivalent (TorrentHarvester for Windows looks like an excel spreadsheet to me).
- PJBonoVox, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3If you have OS X, a torrent program is the least of your worries...
Stop whoring your eye-candy OS here. Just get lost.
- PJBonoVox, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3If you have OS X, a torrent program is the least of your worries...
- fudgebrown, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I've always used: http://torrent-finder.com/
How does this compare? - zenzenkevin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Back in MY day we had to walk uphill both ways in the snow barefoot and on fire to find our torrents.
- sniperawd, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1this is why i hate torrents NOBODY SEEDS ANY OF THE FILES!!!!!!!!!!! other wise the idea is great
- hallous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ummm... try a private tracker, tons of seeds on them.
- stradv16, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1oink oink oink...
- macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Uhhhhhhhhhh I beleive this has been up for quite some time. I being a frequent user of torrents.to, I remember seeing it like I don't know how long ago but still quite in the past.
- camster91, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3torrentz.com beats out every torrent site its the best
- bitrich, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8i ***** love bittorrent
- jeriqo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4You must not go out very often
- DanAtkinson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I call *****. This is clearly advertising their spam site which is littered by adverts.
It's an awful site. So the hell what if they have 17 trillion torrents and 13 billion more added every second? That's just a case of 'throw enough spaghetti against the wall and hope that some will stick'.- forsight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1can't say i agree with your ignorance
- bennop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Down. Dugg. Now Dead.
- muzy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2nice one, added it to my top 50 list of torrents and piracy sites.
mouhahaha ***** you RIAA MIAAA whatever the ***** their names are... - Andrewc989, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Site looks good, seems to have a wide variety of content, I still think I prefer ISOHunt.com though.
By the way "muzy", even though your comment is juvenile, I thought you should know the RIAA is the Recording Industry Association of America, and I believe the other one you're thinking of is MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America. - forsight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i have used btjunkie since its beginning and i must give 2 thumbs up at the improvements the site has made! i can always get what i am looking for and receive it much faster then sites i used previously. and the features???ROCK ON! not to mention free!
- renald100, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This person knows what they are talking about, ROCK ON RIGHT BACK TO YA!
- Maceart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Fails for not having unicode/BIG5/GB Asian language support.
- drafhk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I've known about btjunkie for about 6 months or so, and it is far better than any bittorrent site on the web. Better than thepiratebay by about 2x, and with 700k torrents, you can pretty much find whatever you want (reasonably). I'm just still laughing that none of you tech nerds knew anything about this while some stupid jock from Mexico has been using it to download 100s of gigs of stuff.
And no, there is no fee associated with btjunkie that I know of. Only for locked torrents and stuff. - Cab00se, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been using btjunkie for almost a year now, it's loaded. I love it.
- i3eergod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@cab00se - hey, maybe I'm just having an ADD flare-up, but every time I try to download a torrent file from btjunkie, it just takes me to a donation screen and asks me to sign-up for their "VIP Account".
- forsight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you can by-pass it man
- forsight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you rock man!
- i3eergod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@forsight and @myself:
Doodes, how can a guy with full-blown ADD figure out how to by-pass this stuff? Why is the damn interweb so complicated? - Scuba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Make sure you look in the bottom left-hand corner where it says "Manual DL" when you click on the private tracker torrents, you don't have to pay. "
- i3eergod, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Hey guys, watch this. I figured out how to digg-up any comment several diggs higher at once. Sometimes I can digg-up a comment 30+ diggs. I can always get at least three. I'm going to digg-up Cab00se's comment (about 5 above this one), which, right now, is at +1 digg.
- i3eergod, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1ok guys....look about 12 posts up for a member named "muzy" and you'll see that I dugg his crappy comment up to 75 diggs. You all don't really think that cruddy comment deserved all those diggs, do you?
- Phantom76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You are probably one of the funniest guys around here.
- golddigga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1crappy site design and I still think that isohunt has the best stuff but I like how piratebay goes about the RIAA and the other ascosiations
- eim9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its a great site. Dont know why you guys complain about how the site looks. We all used suprnova and that site looked like *****.
- mindtrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty and functional. Lots of languages, lots of seeds, but public trackers still suck.
- shanzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it's ok
- Zeuser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like this site. I found stuff on BTjunkie I just couldn't find on some other BT directories.
- frakassor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I use www.mininova.com for a simple reason. It is easy to sort the torrents by date, seed or name. Other sites (torrentspy for ex) have a ***** reasearch and sort engine.
I will check out this new one though... - forsight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't believe people are dogging btjunkie saying that what really matters is the seeds, I guess they didn't notice the 10 million seed stat! Anybody who is in the know in the BitTorrent game knows BTJunkie is seed heaven.
- playtex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually its pointless to scrape a scrape... Their practices are totally just a circle-jerk (and their the ones left eating the "pie" and the end if you know what I mean). You tell me if this makes any sense to do. mininova scrapes thepiratebay, their by all the torrents from the TRACKER thepiratebay are on the INDEX mininova. Then mybittorrent scrapes thepritatebay. finally fenopy scrapes those SAME torrents from thepiratebay, again producing another duplicate set of the SAME torrent files. Now btjunkies (or should we say jerkies) then scrapes thepiratebay, mininova, AND mybittorrent and fenopy then labels ALL 4 torrents as SEPERATE torrents with seperate stats (which makes no since as they should all have the same stats unless they are just BSing their stats. If you go on to a NORMAL index like mybittorrent, or fenopy you will see that they merge dupilcate torrents so you do not get redundant results, OR if you go to yotoshi or torrentz you will see they similarly match up the contents of the torrents to merge the duplicates rather then falsely inflating their stats to make them self look well stocked. In my opinion this will bite them in the ass when people get frustrated with all the died torrents. My guess is this is not a trustworth site which is why we dont even bother with scraping them or indexing them... Actually I do not know any indexers or search engines who bother with their junk torrents.
- tjlsmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can anyone recommend a good book and comic book bt search site, please?
- absolutemx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here's a new one...
It allows you to select multiple sites and multiple keywords as well.
http://www.searchweaver.net
http://www.searchweaver.net/search.php?cat=7 - Bubblah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I dunno, I like http://www.bytorr.com, http://www.bittorrent.com and a bunch of others, depends on what you are looking for, legal, or what.
