- We don’t encourage you to use the torrents to download the copyright material. However, if you decide to do so, Please use the VPN Software and Ad-blockers to avoid being caught by ISPs as well as the LEAs using IP, DNS Leaks, and Ad-trackers.
- This ranking is entirely independent and I neither have any affiliations with any of the below-listed websites nor dictated by the Editorial to make any changes in the ranking.
Torrenting is fun. Isn’t it? but it is quite a grey space as well on the internet due to the distribution of copyrighted content and malpractice to earn money. Just Googling will not stumble you upon the best torrent site.
There is an abundant number of torrent websites available at your disposal but there only a handful that will deliver what you were searching for ranging from a wide degree of content such as movies, music, shows, games, sports, channels and a whole lot more (don’t forget the speed limit too).
Our list of the top torrent sites will detail out which site offers the best repository depending on a specific category of content, just to make your life a little less harsh and a little more simple and entertaining at the same time.
The ranking is a very tricky part of this whole review thing. We would like to make sure that ranking we produce must be authentic and help our readers to make informed decisions about the website they are going to use for torrent download. Here are the few factors that helped us in the ranking,
- Age of Website: This doesn’t only include how long the website is being in business but also how resilient it is to Law Enforcement Agencies. The websites with malpractices won’t last much longer.
- Niche: This is what kind of range is being offered on the menu of the website. Some torrent offers only a single niche such as movies. While others cover a wider range such as software etc.
- Quality of Torrents: This was one of the difficult variables to measure so we took 10 samples from most downloaded torrents and tried to determine their quality. Is this really what is being offered.
- Ads: These websites are too crazy about earning money. I don’t think that gives a second thought that either we should use this type of advertisement or not. People still gonna visit them. So, we considered it also
- Malware: When the hunger of torrent websites is not fulfilled by the money. They move into using malware to infect their visitors and grab more money using crypto mining etc.
- Instant Download: Well, yes mostly this appears as an ad on the torrenting websites but we really looked into it that how many different download options are being provided.
- Mirrors: Internet Service Provides has the legal authority to check on the torrent traffics. So, mostly they pull down a specific network route to prevent. Mirroring allows the presence of alternative routes and servers.
Alongside this, we are going to provide some numbers related to the monthly million users (or daily visitors) that visit these torrenting websites so that you can be well informed of their popularity (once again, do take these figures with a grain of salt).
In addition, we are going to summarize which of these best torrent websites are suited for which category so that you don’t have to waste precious time and can immediately jump in when you want to start downloading the best possible content depending on your interests.

The Pirate Bay has a long and most ugly history with the law enforcement agencies. The website was down for a couple of months after the crackdown by the LEAs to their office/facility and the owners were also caught.

This is the clone of the original KickAss torrent website which was taken down by the authorities a few years ago. The interface is completely the same and no one can guess that this is not the original one. But because there is no official statement from the original team of Kickass torrents, we tend to believe that this is a nice alternative to The Pirate Bay with a mask of KickAss Torrents. The best thing about this TPB alternate is the way to browse the website and also the availability to see the latest torrents added to their website.

According to the latest statistics, Torrentz2 has indexed around 5.5 million torrents from 75 domains, meaning that this number is sure to increase in the foreseeable future. Just because Torrentz is sleeping with the fishes does not mean that everything you came to know and love has died too.

Torrents are nothing but files of a few kilobytes without a torrent client installed on your computer. To get the actual files you want on your local storage, you will require some of the best torrent clients for a various number of supported operating systems.
Luckily for you, we recently covered a list of the 10 popular free torrent software for three popular platforms, Windows, Mac, and Linux. For added measure, we have also included some terrific free torrent clients that support Android, because you never know when people want to move this storage to their phones.
Most of you might not be aware of this but there has been a sudden increase in activity when it comes to law enforcement authorities on the shutting down of torrent download sites and arresting perpetrators. Apart from this, if you happen to be engaged in torrent downloading without some added protection, then it might become dangerous for you, but that will also depend on which country you’re inhabiting at the moment.
Most countries are already dealing with so many problems that they cannot invest the time, money and effort to curb torrent-downloading activities but developed countries are where such laws are quite strict. As a solution, the best possible way to start torrenting without potentially being detected by the authorities is by using privacy protection services in the form of VPNs.
ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access VPN, and IPVanish are some of the few services that are known to help out users in remaining anonymous when browsing best torrenting sites and downloading files, so try these out and start browsing when you switch on your machine.
Before you aim to get a boatload of content installed and running on your computer, know that there are several risks involved while using BitTorrent sites. If and when you are able to, please pay for this kind of content such as purchasing games or signing up for streaming services. This is because in some countries, it is actually a crime to download torrents and it is summarized as the illegal sharing of copyrighted material.
Still, allow us to remove the confusion a bit more. P2P file sharing technology is completely legal, as many of the files traded through P2P are indeed copyrighted. However, uploading these copyrighted files will put you at risk of a civil lawsuit in countries like USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and others to be very careful in what you are getting yourself into.
Lawsuits filed are categorized under class-action suits, meaning that they are filed against groups of users who copy and distribute copyrighted materials and will have to appear in court to answer for their crimes. However, and this bit is very important so please pay close attention, some lawsuits are also targeted towards individual users.
Now, why does such a thing happen? Perhaps the party wants to make an example out of you and the hearing of a lawsuit is sufficient to prevent an individual from ever engaging in the activity.
These P2P civil lawsuits are very real and they are very scary plus more often than not, it delivers an extreme level of stress and financial burden on the blamed individual. Since the internet is an open book right now, there are a higher number of chances of you being caught.
For example, you might not have read the terms and conditions of your Internet Service Provider but here is what they might do. They might choose to release a history of your download and upload activity to potential copyright plaintiffs. In short, the more content you download and store in your local-storage, the higher the chances are that you come under the radar of copyright protection groups.
Final Words
Though The Pirate Bay might become your number one choice as best torrenting site for the downloading your favorite stuff, it is possible that there is a unique file that you might not find on this torrent website, since we stated before that not all websites are perfect. Instead, try browsing other alternatives and see if your luck starts there.
As a reminder, be very careful when downloading torrents, especially in countries where the law is merciless to such offenders. As an added form of protection please use VPNs to reduce your chances of being caught by the authorities. The last thing you would want is to get into trouble with the wrong people.
