Since the shutdown of Torrentz, KickAss Torrents and other sites, The Pirate Bay has been an alternative. Nevertheless, the 1337X arrived threatening TPB's position but didn't win.
MobiPicker had learned that TPB is here to stay for a little bit longer. Though there have been some problems when it comes to torrent sharing website, proxies the dedicated subscribers are still not giving up with the battle. It can be remembered that since the disappearance of Torrentz and KickAss Torrents, the torrent sites like 1337X and The Pirate Bay have started to gain traffic and users.
As a matter of fact, 1337X has updated its interface, a signal that it is creating rivalry to The Pirate Bay. For the time being, TPB still holds the title of being the best alternative as of the moment. However, the 1337X can only be found in certain exclusive. With this, the users find it easier to use The Pirate Bay as they can find well-seeded torrents with ease using the site.
Meanwhile, Mobile & Apps reported that the biggest search engine; Google has been doubling its efforts to aid the digital copyright trolls by demanding to remove 50 million links from 4shared. For reference, 4shared is one of the popular file-sharing sites that come as the best alternative to torrenting. Additionally, Google has already obtained its ridiculous amount of file takedown request that reached 50 million.
It is really notable that a lot of subscribers use this service to put files online without the need to use torrent services like The Pirate Bay, Torrentz, Kickass and more. 4shared is a direct download service with just a few restrictions on speed and a bit of ads. Nevertheless, current reports suggests, the site is being enormously abused for sharing copyrighted materials.
With these, it seems that even though Google is aiming to reduce the use of torrent sites, the latter's developers are still doing a lot of effort to continue their work.
