Torrent sites come and go. They are shut down by organizations like Brein or even the FBI, but often reappear online a few days later at a different address. If not, another site takes over. This isn’t surprising, as these sites are among the most popular in the world, earning substantial revenue from advertisements.
10. TorrentGalaxy
TorrentGalaxy is the newest torrent site on the list, already very popular just two years after its launch. It has an active community that frequently uploads content. Unique to TorrentGalaxy is the ability to stream movies directly on the site.
9. eztv
eztv has been one of the most popular release groups posting new TV series online for years. The current EZTV.re is not the original group; there was a hostile takeover in 2015. The releases from this group are not hosted on many other torrent sites.
8. IGGGAMES
IGGGAMES is a popular torrent site where you can download a wide variety of games.
7. Skidrow & Reloaded
Skidrow & Reloaded cater to gamers, named after two popular ‘release’ groups for cracked games. All their games are downloadable from skidrowreloaded.com.
6. Fitgirl Repacks
Fitgirl Repacks differs from other torrent sites as it offers highly compressed, cracked versions of popular games. Their torrents are also found on other sites, but their own site provides magnet links.
5. The Pirate Bay
Operational since 2003, The Pirate Bay has been the primary torrent site. Despite numerous attempts to shut it down, including seizing servers and domain names and imprisoning its founders, it remains operational. There are many proxies available, and there’s even an offlineBay allowing torrent downloads from TPB without the internet.
4. RARBG
RARBG, online since 2008, is the torrent site for those who prefer quality over quantity.
3. nyaa
Nyaa.si is the go-to site for anime enthusiasts. It was taken down last year but returned in 2018 under a new domain.
2. 1337X
1337X has become very popular in recent years. The site’s design is sleek and user-friendly, with fewer annoying ads common on other torrent sites.
1. YTS.autos
YTS and YIFY were once a popular ‘release group,’ often the first with good versions of the latest movies. The original group has stopped, but another has taken its place on YTS.autos. They continue to release new movies quickly, specializing in small formats. Not everyone in the torrent community is happy with their releases, so they are not hosted on many sites. Nevertheless, YTS remains the most popular torrent site in 2023.
