Despite the efforts of various governments to eradicate piracy, year after year, the main websites keep doing everything they can to keep running. Many of them usually get a large amount of money daily thanks to the visits of all users, so they do not altruistically maintain the different websites, but have turned it into a way of life thanks to advertising.
Some operators have dedicated themselves to block access to several of these services, especially the best known The Pirate Bay, but using VPN services we can access them without problems. The TF website has just updated the list of the 10 most popular torrent websites for this year that we detail below.
Top 10 Torrents Sites of 2016
THE PIRATE BAY
We have little to say about the Torrents site par excellence, although in recent years it has lost some steam due to the problems it has had with the Swedish government and its constant domain changes. A few days ago it reopened with a new domain, although the old .se is still in operation.
EXTRATORRENT
It continues to be one of the most active communities of the moment, which allows it to continue gaining users every year.
TORRENTZ
Torrentz has been the search engine for BitTorrent for several years. Unlike other Torrents websites, this website does not host any files or magnetic links. We can find the Torrentz website in several domains, but the most popular is still the one ending in .eu.
RARBG
Of Bulgarian origin, last year it already managed to enter this classification and stay in the top 10 of websites where to find Torrents. Like other Torrents websites, it has been blocked by internet providers in the UK.
1337 times
Another community-maintained website that was born with the goal of offering quality content rather than focusing on making money through advertising. A few weeks ago, several of the administrators and moderators of this website abandoned the project due to security problems, so throughout this year we will know if it manages to stay in the top 10 or if it finally abandons this classification.
EZTV.AG
Unlike the other Torrents websites, EZTV is based on the content of series and television shows, leaving aside the movies. Last year it was forced to close due to pressure from different media, but it continued to operate under a new website.
TORRENTHOUND
With more than 10 years in the market, Torrent Hound just made it to the top 10 torrent sites this year. During the year that we have finished, it has had several problems due to copyright and it has been blocked in several countries such as the United States, which I call a haven for piracy, like all the websites on this list.
YTS.AG
YTS.ag has nothing to do with the original YTS or the YIFY group, which was behind it, but it aspires to take its place. As with the new EZTV, several large torrent sites are not allowing this new website to use the YIFY group name.
TORRENT DOWNLOADS
Since 2011, TorrentDownloads did not appear in this list. It is a torrent service most visited by millions of users every day.
KICKASSTORRENTS
Founded in 2009 last year. Due to the problems that The Pirate Bay had with its domains, Kickasstorrents surpassed the classic pirate ship in traffic. For the last several years it has had to change domain until the most recent change, located in Costa Rica after losing the domain located in Somalia. For a few hours, Kickass is no longer accessible so you can use any of the other nine alternatives to continue downloading your Torrents and enjoy the benefits of P2P.
