Another popular torrents website bites the dust. Following the quiet death of Kickass Torrents (KAT) and Torrentz, Torrent Hound bid farewell to its millions of users a few days ago. Meanwhile, other torrenting alternatives/ torrent websites such as The Pirate Bay (TPB) and ExtraTorrent (ET) have taken their place and become the most popular torrent search sites. Here are the best torrenting websites downloaders are relying on in 2016.
The Pirate Bay (TPB) remains the top choice for torrenting website among the downloaders after Torrent Hound, Torrentz and Kickass Torrents (KAT) shutdown. Despite many ups and downs, the website has gained quite a reputation in the Torrent community. Downloaders are never disappointed when it comes to searching for television series, movies, e-books, games and software.
Millions of users visit The Pirate Bay (TPB) every day, making it one of the "prime alternatives" for the downloaders. Torrent Freak termed it as the "Godfather of all torrent sites."
"When both TPB and its forum went down, we had overwhelming support from KAT users on their forum, and our staff were able to keep the communities updated on important news and announcements thanks to the help and messages of support we received.
"Reciprocation is only right and we hope KAT staff will keep us informed of any official news/announcements so that we can help to inform," Spud 17 of The Pirate Bay (TPB) told TF.
Ever since Kickass Torrents (KAT) and Torrentz shut down, Extra Torrent (ET) has seen a huge surge in the traffic. According to Earnspree, Extra Torrent is now the "best torrent site for television series." The regular uploading of the latest stuff and clearly defined categories makes it a very popular torrent website among the users.
"So far we got 200% signup, and 300% traffic increase at ExtraTorrent," ET's SaM told Torrent freak after Kickass Torrents (KAT) and Torrentz shut down.
In addition, Torrentz.eu mirror site Torrentz2.eu has become enormously popular. It is one of the top clone torrenting alternatives with an index of over 55 million torrent files from over 135 million pages and 64 domains as mentioned on the website's homepage. With the familiar appearance, the torrenting alternative has become quite popular among its users.
Some other popular torrenting alternatives after Torrent Hound, Torrentz, and Kickass Torrents (KAT) shut down are RarBG, also known as RBG, 1337X, YTS.ag, Popcorn Time, limetorrents, Torrentfunk, Torlock and more.
Note: The websites mentioned above may contain pirated content and Yibada does not promote piracy in any form.
Meanwhile, rumours suggest that ExtraTorrent (ET) and The Pirate Bay (TPB) might be the next torrenting sites/alternatives to shutting down. However, the reports lack confirmation. Meanwhile, the two websites remain the downloaders' top choice this year and are now the largest torrent search websites of the community.
