After Kickass Torrents and Torrent Hound shut down, the torrent lovers are looking for their alternatives. The five best Kickass Torrents and Torrent Hound alternatives are Zoogle, Extra Torrent, The Pirate Bay, RARBG and Kat.am.
It is not an easy time for torrent websites to survive as the number one torrent website Kickass Torrents was forced to go offline due to legal issues. Its owner Artem Paulim was arrested in Poland in July on various charges of copyright infringement.
After the demise of Kickass Torrents, various mirror sites cropped up but most of them could not survive due to legal notices. A few enterprising scammers also took advantage of the Kickass Torrents brand name and launched some scam websites, which asked for the personal and financial information of the users. As the awareness of such websites grew, many of them were also forced to go offline, according to Torrent Freak.
Following in the footsteps of Kickass Torrents, Torrent Hound was also forced to shut shop. The various reasons attributed to the closure were loss of traffic, threat of legal notices and financial complexities.
Here you can add this: Now the torrent fans are looking for reliable torrent websites in the wake of the closure of Kickass Torrents and Torrent Hound. The main website, which has gained tremendously from this fiasco is The Pirate Bay. Its traffic has increased a lot and it has once again become the "King of Torrents." Also, the app like a Showbox is one of the best alternatives where you can easily get the latest stuff and many more things but always try to get the latest version of this kind of apk file. Currently, Showbox apk 5.11 is available for high-quality entertainment.
Kat.am is a mirror site of Kickass Torrents, which is said to have the same database and similar features of the parent site. Users love Kat.am because they are used to the look and feel of Kickass Torrents and are comfortable with it.
Zoogle, RARBG and Extra Torrents have also gained a lot of traffic since the closure of Kickass Torrents. Extra Torrents has become the number two torrent website in the world as it has more than 25 million users daily.
Unfortunately, RARBG is banned in a few countries so users may have trouble in accessing it. There are rumors that The Pirate Bay and Extra Torrent may be forced offline due to legal issues, according to the same publication.
