- Maynza, on 01/20/2008, -0/+39Pretty soon someone will make a torrent site that compiles the results of all the other sites that compile the results of all the torrent sites.
- supasurg, on 01/20/2008, -4/+40direct link: http://www.youtorrent.com/
- wiifm69, on 01/20/2008, -0/+34can't wait for the firefox plugin
- Retnuh730, on 01/20/2008, -0/+32And burying it leads it to fall into obscurity. I'm sure they'd rather have the users making them money off of ads then having none and not having to worry about the RIAA.
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -5/+32The creator calls it you torrent
- undershirt, on 01/20/2008, -0/+24Screw the shutdown threats, and share the love. This is a great service, everyone should know about it.
- idmfx, on 01/20/2008, -0/+20I've been using ScrapeTorrent for about a year. It's essentially the same thing i guess.
- Azdak, on 01/20/2008, -1/+21"The premise is simple: YouTorrent is a meta-search engine that indexes torrents from other sites (such as btjunkie, The Pirate Bay), then prioritizes the results based on the number of seeds and peers each torrent has."
In what way is this any different from torrentz.com? - ventro, on 01/20/2008, -4/+24Doesn't this very screenshot perfectly exemplify why this site sucks? There isn't a single release of Cloverfield out there, which means ALL of those torrents are fake. Every single one.
- cs02rm0, on 01/20/2008, -0/+20Or torrentz
- piesforyou, on 01/20/2008, -2/+20And fulltorrent is basically your mum.
- schnikies79, on 01/20/2008, -2/+19I thought it was pronounced as microtorrent, like microfarad (µF)
- hiro, on 01/20/2008, -0/+17That would be google
- Brenner14, on 01/20/2008, -0/+13it seems as if not a single cloverfield torrent exists
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -25/+38Why are people digging this? Digging it is just going to increase the chances of it being shut down.
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -3/+16It looks better
- Scroogl, on 01/20/2008, -0/+12I prefer mininova purely because of the comments section. With all the nukes/fakes etc. it's invaluable to know which to download based on a group of people have said.
- cparsons, on 01/20/2008, -0/+12It needs an in house comment system to make it worth while (or a nuked button or rating button). Just because a torrent has a million seeds doesn't mean it is real. Check out all the fake Cloverfield torrents for example.
- MCCULLAH, on 01/20/2008, -1/+12mininova?
- Brenner14, on 01/20/2008, -1/+11are you sure it isn't fake? just because it's a 700mb .avi doesn't mean it's real.

My IP address and what I clicked on? No thanks...
Think I'll stick to some of the sites like mininova.org etc who have the policy
"To protect the privacy of our visitors, we do not log IP addresses or hostnames of our visitors." - drakia, on 01/20/2008, -1/+10You bastards killed their server :(
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -0/+9This is a nice site, but they need to get the comments in, half of all torrents are fakes (from my experience) so I always read the comments Even the Cloverfield from the screenshot is bogus.
- Jeffler, on 01/20/2008, -0/+9And your mum is basically a sex machine.
Too far? - Twoodge, on 01/20/2008, -0/+8What? It's a search engine. If the legal wackjobs had any sense (I doubt this but still) then they'd go for the actual torrent sites like TPB first. A simple search engine like YouTorrent would be way down on their list.
- blazes816, on 01/20/2008, -2/+10http://blazes816.com/youtorrent/install.html . If you don't trust the install link, you can save http://blazes816.com/youtorrent/youtorrent.xml and put in the the searchplugins directory of the firefox folder. (Program, not appdata).
- peestandingup, on 01/20/2008, -1/+8You found jack *****, moron. Why dont you download it & tell us how fake it is.
- swoopdog, on 01/20/2008, -1/+8And Scrapetorrent is basically fulltorrent
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -5/+11All the Cloverfields I've found are fakes, Yes, I've seen the movie so please don't bother telling me that I have to see it in theaters. Does anyone have a link to a working real Cloverfield torrent?
- Donnshin, on 01/20/2008, -1/+7Ha, fake as well, damn sample.
- Arkz, on 01/20/2008, -2/+8Isohunt ftw!
- synthesis811, on 01/20/2008, -1/+6you realise right that there's nothing wrong with this site per-se as ALL the other torrent aggregation sites will have exactly the same problem
- blinki, on 01/20/2008, -0/+5torrentz.com does the same thing (though I think it uses a cache rather than providing real time results) but I'll be sure to take a look at this one as well!
- inactive, on 01/20/2008, -2/+6Well, Swoopdog, we must all be morons, because there doesn't seem to be a good torrent of it yet. I wish we could all be as smart as you and find a good one without checking it.
- Frnnkdlxx, on 01/20/2008, -1/+5It's actually really awesome!
- jkizzle, on 01/20/2008, -0/+4you can google bittorrent files, and they arnt going to go after google.
- thebass, on 01/20/2008, -1/+5www.scrapetorrent.com -been around for at least a year and going strong
- str1fe, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4A sex machine is basically youtorrent.
wait..... - falafelkiosken, on 01/20/2008, -1/+5it doesn't look like crap
- rAid135, on 01/20/2008, -0/+4I find youtorrent is faster and searches more sites
- AeroSquid, on 01/20/2008, -0/+4you suck at the internet.
- Brenner14, on 01/20/2008, -0/+4I want one too. I'm going to see it for the 2nd time tonight, but I want to have a version I can consult at home... good movie.
- ath1337, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3MU Torrent is different from YOU torrent
- fr34k5h0w, on 01/20/2008, -0/+3I think isohunt is your best bet. TPB has it posted with a serial number and a decent seed (1114 at last check).
- Rizzen, on 01/20/2008, -0/+3You would think but in reality places like this are considered soft targets, by taking them down they can feel like they are doing something.
- inactive, on 01/21/2008, -0/+3We should make a meta-meta-tracker to join torrentz, scrapetorrent, fulltorrent, torrent-finder, etc...
- dandonia, on 01/21/2008, -1/+4good eye dude
