Comparison of BitTorrent sites

See also: List of warez groups

This is a comparison of BitTorrent websites that includes most of the most popular sites. These sites typically contain multiple torrent files and an index of those files.

Features

• BitTorrent sites may operate a BitTorrent tracker and are often referred to as such. Operating a tracker should not be confused with hosting content.
• A directory allows users to browse the content available on a website based on various categories. A directory is also a site where users can find other websites.
• Some sites focus on certain content – such as etree, which focuses on live concerts – and some have no particular focus, like The Pirate Bay. Some sites specialize as search engines of other BitTorrent sites.
