As of September 2016 or weeks after Torrentz mysteriously folded up, VPNRanks.com has identified at least two clones sites where Torrentz fans have migrated in big numbers. On top of the list is Torrentz2.eu, which according to the report is "an exact replica of the original website and indexes over 55 million torrent files ... Torrentz2.eu tops the list of clone websites and is the busiest torrent indexers currently operating."

Another site mentioned is Torrents-PRO that the same report described as among the most popular and best Torrentz clone available out there.

Or fans can also check out two new players in the torrent scene - Torrentz.ht and TPBClean. As the name implies, the former is another mirror site for Torrentz with nearly the same look and feel. But as the new kid on the block, Torrentz.ht still indexes relatively lower number of torrent files when compared to other Torrentz proxy sites. It is believed that Torrentz.ht is in partnership with movie torrent provider YTS.ag, somehow hinting that files found on the latter are indexed by the former.

TPBClean is also a fresh addition to the torrent world but has easily gained the attention of torrent fans. The site unabashedly advertises itself as mirror of The Pirate Bay but without the adult contents. TPBClean packages its services as the fastest, cleanest and safest torrenting operation in the planet.

The report by VPN Ranks also listed 15 Torrentz alternatives but easily noticeable are two sites that became the top players when Kickass Torrents was forced out business. The Pirate Bay and ExtraTorrent are now acknowledged as best KAT alternatives and at the same time the top torrenting sites.

According to a Quora post, TPB and ExtraTorrent are also the best Torrentz replacement. The former is the closest rival to Kickass Torrents and has survived numerous takedowns but managed to resume operations. "With a massive range of torrents from genres including movies, games, books, TV shows, TPB is probably the most visited website," the Quora post said.

As for ExtraTorrent, it lures in former users of both KAT and Torrentz for its rich library of torrent files. The site is considered the next in line in the event The Pirate Bay, presently the King of Torrents, will meet same fate that befell Kickass Torrents.
