Torrent Search: The 3 Best Link Tips

There are tons of torrent search sites on the Internet. In this article, we present the three best, including their strengths and weaknesses.

1. Torrent Search Pirate Bay - the torrent pirates

The Pirate Bay is arguably one of the most popular torrent trackers on the Internet - and the subject of numerous legal disputes. The site has been "banished" several times and the operators have been sentenced to prison terms. It is regularly down and then reappears under a new domain. It is not for nothing that the website boasts that it is "the galaxy's most resilient BitTorrent site".

• Pirate Bay has an extra category for 3D movies.
• Unfortunately, the language of the search results is not displayed.
• The amount of linked torrents is huge.

2. Torrentz2.eu

After the popular torrent search engine Torrentz.eu was closed, a clone went online.

• Torrentz2.eu is structured exactly like its predecessor.
• The website offers a meta search that searches many torrent sites at the same time.
• A health bar also signals how reliably the torrent download still works.
• As a registered VIP member, you can also sort search results by comments.

3. Search for torrents with TorrentDownloads.me

The TorrentDownloads website is one of the most visited torrent search engines ever.

• On TorrentDownloads.me you will find a huge range of music, videos, books and games.
• The search results can be narrowed down even further using "Advanced Search".
• In addition to the search results, further information such as the file size, the provider and comments from users about the torrent are displayed.

Important legal information about torrent files

Note: Illegal content is often linked to all torrent search engines. Be careful not to violate any copyrights or ancillary rights. As soon as you download protected films, series, pieces of music, eBooks or cracked software, you are punishable because you not only download ("leeche") the file via the peer-to-peer connection, but also parallel to the uploader ("seeder ") become.
