There are so many torrent search engines in the market and as we all know most of them are considered illegal by all major media companies. I find it funny that these torrent search engines are normally just indexing where files are stores online in the same way as Google, and not even hosting the files on their own servers.
The newest torrent search engine on the market is KickassTorrents. KickassTorrents has a great user interface that is very easy to use and search through. Additionally, the site has an amazing index of music, files, documents, movies, games, tv shows, applications and more.
The community around KickassTorrents seems to also be on the rise as they have a growing number of leechers and seeders on the site. Plus, they have additions like a Firefox addon, Vuze addon and others.
If you are looking for a Torrent Search engine that is on the rise and is already in the top 5,000 alexa, then KickassTorrents is for you!
Bittorrent is currently a huge market on the internet. Tribler P2P research team at Delft University of Technology has reported the current marketshare numbers between the top bittorrent clients available at the moment.
uTorrent remains the client of choice for over 60% of all BitTorrent users. Vuze is in second place, but its market share has dropped to 14%. Transmission, on the other hand, continues to gain ground, with the client’s market share increasing by 23% in the last two months.
The data is based from over 17,221 unique user in a few dozen public Bittorrent swarms. Bittorrent is still by far the lading file-sharing technology with millions of people using the protocol every day.

Previously we talked about Torrents.to in which allows users search various torrent search engines in one place. On of our readers has let us know about TorrentScan, in which is another torrent meta search engine but it has a lot of great features that some others dont.
TorrentScan is a torrent meta search engine which allows users to search across various torrent search engines all in one place. TorrentScan allows you to search Mininova, SumoTorrent, BTjunkie, Isohunt, Fenopy, Torrentz and more. TorrentScan also lets you customise your search and even the entire look and feel of the site itself. With a simple click you are able to see your search results between the torrent search engines.
If you are looking for an easy and simple way to search through multiple torrent sites at once, then TorrentScan should be your first option.
There are so many little search engine out there that help users search multiple sites in one simple search box. Here is a new search engine called File Snatcher. File Snatcher lets users search fiel sharing sites like Rapidshare, Badongo, Mediafire all for free. The search engine run through all of these sites and search for Mp3’s, videos, softare, movies, documents and photos.
The search engine itself isnt very accurate and they dont seem to have too much indexed, but it is a nice way to search for the files you are looking for very quickly. I like how at the bottom of the search engine they specifically says “this search engine is in no way intended for illegal downloads”. Now seriously im sure they are aware of why exactly this search engine is used!
