This Swedish-based site has been in existence since 2003 and has survived an onslaught of legal threats to try and shut it down. With over 2.8 million registered users and in excess of 1 million active torrents, The Pirate Bay is the largest file sharing database on the Internet.
- MiniNova is another popular BitTorrent site that has seen over 5 billion downloads since it was first launched in 2005. This large P2P file sharing website was born after the first reincarnation of SuprNova which was shutdown in 2004. It has a good search engine that has advanced search options, or alternatively you can browse through the different categories; MiniNova has over 35 music genres in its database.
- A BitTorrent indexing site which moved its servers from the United States to Canada after it was temporarily shutdown in January 2007. Now IsoHunt is one of the largest file sharing websites that regularly indexes over 1 million torrents. The search feature on IsoHunt is basic and doesn’t have advanced search facilities like MiniNova but it’s simple layout makes it easy to use.
- BitTorrent.am was launched in 2007 and has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the most popular P2P file sharing websites. There are over 600,000 torrents indexed on BitTorrent.am with the music category boasting over 45 different genres.

- Torrent Portal has an excellent user-friendly interface with good advanced search facilities. A search cloud is also provided so you can see what other users have searched for. Torrent Portal’s BitTorrent database indexes over 1.4 million torrents which makes it popular with downloaders.
- BTJunkie is an advanced BitTorrent search engine. It uses a web crawler (similar to Google) to search for torrent files from other torrent sites and store it in its database. It has over 2,180,000 active torrents and about 4,200 torrents added daily (compared to runner-up Torrent Portal with 1,500), making it the largest torrent site indexer on the web. Btjunkie is the 7th most popular bittorrent site as of 2008.
- Demonoid is a website and BitTorrent tracker created by an anonymous Serbian known only by the pseudonym “Deimos”. The website indexes torrents uploaded by its members. It was the second largest and is the most popular semi-public tracker for over a year, the 499th most popularly ranked website in December 2008 according to Alexa, and had an estimated 3 million peers in September 2007. The site went offline on November 9, 2007 due to alleged legal threats from the Canadian Recording Industry Association. On April 11, 2008
- myBittorrent is an automated website, using the Google API to find BitTorrent websites on the internet. These websites are then crawled by bots and information about their files saved to the myBittorrent.com database. This is an automated process and myBittorrent.com has no control over what is indexed.
- Seedpeer is known as one of the most popular torrent sites. The site started out in August 2005 as Meganova and later on in 2007 it was renamed to seedpeer.
- ShareReactor is an index site for files on the eDonkey network and Torrent files . ShareReactor does not host any files; instead, the links it contains are accessible through an eDonkey network and BitTorrent client. The site was taken down by Swiss Police on March 10, 2004 due to the suspicion of breach of copyright and trademark laws. After a long downtime of nearly two years and six months, the site returned online under new ownership. However nearly two months after its return it once again closed down due to lack of popularity. ShareReactor delivers links that can be used together with a P2P client program that understands eD2k links or torrent files. On December, 2008 the site was reopened once more brought back to life with help from the Pirate Bay team.
- Suprnova.org is a Swedish (formerly Slovenian) based website which distributed torrents for various music and video files, computer programs and games. Started in late 2002 by Andrej Preston (known as Slonček, Slovenian for “little elephant”) and for a while considered the most popular BitTorrent search engine, Suprnova.org closed in late 2004 after legal threats. The site operators supported the development of the eXeem BitTorrent client software, deeming a fixed website too difficult to operate in the present legal climate. On August 2, 2007, the domain name was donated to The Pirate Bay, who relaunched the site on August 21, 2007.
- FlixFlux is a specialist torrent search site for films. The site was originally launched in mid 2006 with a basic search facility, and a list of new film releases. The site was relaunched in December 2006 with a complete redesign, and many new features.
