Advertisement The Pirate Bay has been overrun by guards. It’s no longer a safe haven for file sharing fanatics. The ships’ captains have put up a good fight, but it’s becoming more and more difficult to access the most famous torrent site in the world. Whether you side with the anti-piracy brigade or the “free movies for everyone” brigade is moot. Yes, The Pirate Bay does facilitate illegal file sharing (), but it’s also a phenomenal way to obtain legitimate copyright-free content. If you can’t get on the site, you can’t participate in the legal side of P2P downloading. Except, you can.

After going live back in 2008, it steadily grew in popularity. By mid-2014, it had overtaken The Pirate Bay to become the most popular torrent site in the world. But while its popularity was steadily growing among users, behind the scenes, its notoriety was also growing with law enforcement authorities. It fought endless court battles before the United States government finally seized the domain in July 2016.
However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the site has come back to life. In December 2016, it was relaunched by members of the original team with a similar interface and a refreshed list of torrents. TorLock claims to be the only torrent site on the web which is 100 percent dedicated to verified torrents. In fact, the developers are so dedicated that they’ll pay you $1 for every fake torrent you find (and report). The site is also adamant it wants a “professional” relationship with copyright holders.

IDope iDope is a lesser-known name in the torrent world, but it makes the cut on this list for one primary reason: it offers a great Android app. It means you can access more than 12 million torrent files directly from your device.

Long-term torrent users will be familiar with the name of Torrentz.eu. The once popular torrent site voluntarily shut down in August 2016 after a 13-year life. In both 2012 and 2015, it was the second most popular torrent site on the web. 
Torrentz2.eu is trying to replace the fallen giant.
The home page looks the same, the results pages look the same, and the selection of torrents is almost identical. The site hasn’t officially confirmed it, but one assumes some of the original Torrentz.eu staff must part of the project. At the time of writing, Torrentz2.eu has more than 61 million torrents indexed.
You will definitely be able to find plenty of legal content to enjoy. IsoHunt is another torrent site that you might have thought had come to an end. While it’s true that the original isoHunt met its match in 2013 when the U.S. Courts ordered owner Gary Fung to pay $110 million to various Hollywood Studios for violation of copyrighted movies and TV shows, it was quickly reborn under a new domain name. And it’s still going strong today. Unlike some other sites on this list, the modern version of isoHunt has a fully functioning advanced search feature. You can filter for both family friendly content and verified torrents, as well as the usual selection of keywords and dates.
