Torrent search engines

There are numerous torrent search engines where you can find whatever you want. However some of them are crawling with annoying adverts and so on. Also be aware of fake torrents - they are not very exceptional. Read comments under torrents, someone may have already downloaded it and posted whether it is good or bad torrent.

The search engines

Torrentz.com search engine Torrentz.com

Perhaps the most reliable searching server. It doesn't have its own torrent database, but searches on the other servers' databases instead - therefore it finds practically everything there is.

torrentz.com (official website)


newtorrents.info Newtorrents.info

A well-arranged server with new torrents, as the name says. The torrents on front page are updated daily, but you can also search for a bit older torrents. If a torrent is a fake or somehow bad, it is usually recognised fast and written in comments or even the torrent's name (for example the NUKED prefix).
