The Pirate Bay has had its fair share of problems over the past year, but it remains the most visited torrent site.
The main domain still attracts millions of visitors per day and that doesn’t take into account the many proxies and mirrors.
The annual list of popular torrent sites is full of famous brands. This year there are two newcomers, TorrentGalaxy and Zooqle. These replace Torrentz2 and Tamilrockers, both of which have disappeared.
If we need to spot a clear trend, we point to an overall decline in the number of popular English-language torrent sites. At the same time, sites in foreign languages seem to increase their audience.
Sites like Rutracker.org, Rutor.info, Yggtorrent.si, Etoland.co.kr, Nnnmclub.to, Dytt8.net, and Torrentdia.com, for example, are all more popular than the sites at the bottom of our top 10.
Below is the full list of the ten most visited (unique) torrent sites at the start of the new year. The list is based on different traffic reports. Keep in mind that this list was created to track the popularity of these sites over time. We do not recommend using these sites. Some are known to link to malicious ads, at least occasionally.
