The 10 Best Torrent Sites (That Still Work)
Below are the most popular torrent sites that are still active. These are torrenting sites with millions of visitors each month, despite facing numerous bans and shutdowns.
You can use these websites to torrent the latest movies and TV series, video games, close-sourced software, and more.
All of the listed torrent sites still work and can be used with a variety of popular torrenting clients, including qBittorrent and uTorrent.
They also have minimal ad intrusion, meaning your torrenting won’t be interrupted by annoying pop-up ads or distracting banner ads.
Using the table below, you can compare the leading torrent sites we’ve shortlisted on their online status, content specialization, ad intrusion, and more:
1. 1337x
The best torrent site with the latest movies, TV series, and games uploaded hourly.
|

1337x Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2007
Specialization: Movies, TV series, video games, music, software & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: 1337x.to, 1337x.ws, 1337x.st, 1337x.se
Blocked in Countries: India, US, UK, Canada, Australia & more
Ad Intrusion: Occasional banner ad
Registration: Optional
1337x is the number one torrent site due to its diverse and up-to-date catalog of movies, TV series, video games, music, apps, and more.

1337x has torrents for the latest TV series, movies, and sports events.
During our testing, we found 1337x easy to use and navigate with a sleek, modern user interface. Clicking on a torrent displays user comments, the number of seeders and leechers, the file size, and the name of the uploader for increased transparency.
The site includes multiple ways to download its content: magnet links, torrenting, direct download, and streaming. This is a welcome level of flexibility that isn’t matched by any other torrenting site.
You can expect fast download speeds on 1337x thanks to its large core of users consistently providing well-seeded torrents.
There’s also barely any ads on 1337x either which is rare for a torrent site. Instead, the site sustains itself through anonymous Bitcoin donations.
Its main domain is blocked in several countries due to its copyrighted content. You’ll need to use a 1337x mirror link or change your online location with a VPN to access the site in a blocked country.
2. RARBG
Bulgarian torrent site specializing in high-quality TV Show and Movie torrents.
|
|
RARBG Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2008
Specialization: Movies, TV series, video games, music & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: rarbgto.org, rarbgproxy.org, rarbgaccess.org
Blocked in Countries: India, UK, Saudi Arabia & 15 more
Ad Intrusion: Annoying redirects
Registration: Optional
Established in 2008, RARBG is an excellent torrent site for downloading the latest movies as well as other popular content types.

RARBG has sortable torrents and plenty of seeders.
Its main drawback is that RARBG is blocked in 18 countries due to its copyrighted content, which can make accessing the site difficult. RARBG has responded by providing mirror sites to bypass the blocks.
You can easily find the newest movies on RARBG by selecting the ‘Box Office’ tab. This lists the most popular releases currently showing in cinemas with links to high-quality torrents for each title.
However, this isn’t the case with RARBG’s video game library. The only available torrents are for outdated games released in the previous decade.
The site can be frustrating to use, too. Misclicking outside a link’s hypertext redirects you to an advertisement and there’s no support channels for troubleshooting.
3. The Pirate Bay
Popular torrent site with 20+ years of uptime, but blocked in most countries.
|
|
The Pirate Bay Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2003
Specialization: Movies, TV series, video games, software, anime & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: tpb.party, ukpiratebay.org, unblockedtpb.org
Blocked in Countries: India, US, Russia, UK & 25 more
Ad Intrusion: Minimal
Registration: Optional
The Pirate Bay is one of the most popular torrent sites on the internet with more than 25 million monthly visitors. The latest movies, TV series, and video games are uploaded to the site hourly and packaged in well-seeded torrents.

The Pirate Bay hosts an estimated 6.7 petabytes of torrents.
Due to its large volume of copyrighted content, The Pirate Bay is blocked in several countries and has been subject to multiple shutdowns — the most recent in March 2020. Despite this, the Pirate Bay continues to operate and the main domain still works in 2023.
The site is easy to use with a minimalist interface and in-built search function for specific titles. You can also filter its torrents by number of seeders, file size, and upload date.
Each torrent has numerous seeders and magnet link support, resulting in consistently fast download speeds.
The Pirate Bay only permits verified users to upload new content. This aims to improve site safety and reduce the likelihood of downloading malware, following an incident in 2019.
Despite this, we still advise using a VPN with the Pirate Bay.
4. YTS
The best movie torrenting site on the internet.
|
|
X Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2011
Specialization: Movies
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: yts.pm, yts.gs, yts.bypassed.in
Blocked in Countries: UK
Ad Intrusion: Annoying redirects
Registration: Optional
YTS is the best torrenting website for movies, serving as a successor to the once popular website YIFY.

YTS has the latest titles in 4K quality.
It has a wide selection of titles available in 4K and HD picture quality, ranging from classic movies to the latest cinematic releases.
YTS is an easy site to navigate and use. Each movie is shown with its name, poster, and release date to simplify the UI. You can also use an in-built search function to find a specific title.
YTS is blocked in the UK, but its user agreement states that US residents should not access the site either.
There are also reports that YTS handed over user data due to the threat of legal action in 2020. We haven’t been able to substantiate these claims, but the warning to use a VPN on the site’s homepage alongside its anti-US user agreement, suggests that they may be true.
If you choose to use YTS, we strongly recommend you use a VPN.
5. LimeTorrents
Well-designed torrenting site with an active community of seeders.
|
|
X Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2009
Specialization: Movies, TV series, music, video games, applications & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: limetorrents.asia, limetorrents.co, limetor.pro
Blocked in Countries: UK, Australia, India, US & more
Ad Intrusion: Annoying redirects
Registration: Optional
LimeTorrents is a popular torrent site with over 17 million torrents. Users have access to movies, TV series, music, software for multiple platforms, and video games.

LimeTorrents has a streamlined user interface.
The site itself is sleek and well-designed, with icons for each content format on the homepage. Clicking one of these icons automatically directs you to the relevant torrents for that content type.
Each torrent is listed alongside its date added, file size, number of seeders and leechers, and the ‘health’ of the torrent. This is great for helping you identify well-seeded and safe torrents but it’s frustrating that you can’t filter by these parameters.
The user experience is further limited by the constant redirects to advertisements in new tabs. This is frustrating and lengthens the process of finding and downloading a torrent – the top torrent sites won’t do this.
6. YourBittorrent
Sleek torrent site with verified torrents for the newest movies, TV series & anime.
|
|
YourBittorrent Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2003
Specialization: Movies, TV series, video games, ebooks & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: Offline
Blocked in Countries: India, UK
Ad Intrusion: Annoying redirects
Registration: Optional
YourBittorent is an easy-to-use torrent site encompassing multiple types of content.

YourBittorent was specifically targeted by the Indian Government in 2016.
Its 20+ year uptime has seen YourBittorent survive multiple shutdown attempts with its main domain remaining online. However, all of its mirror links and proxies are currently blocked which means you’ll need to change your geo-location with a VPN to access YourBittorent.
Unlike other torrenting sites, YourBittorent has a modern design and an intuitive user interface. Site navigation is simple, torrents are clearly labeled with the relevant information, and specific torrents are easy to locate.
Despite its great usability, YourBittorent does suffer from pop-up ads and occasional redirects to new tabs.
It also has a small user base so torrents can take a while to become adequately seeded.
7. EZTV
Popular torrent site for classic and modern TV series.
|
|
EZTV Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2005
Specialization: TV Series
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: eztv.yt, eztv.work, eztv.re
Blocked in Countries: Italy, Netherlands, UK & more
Ad Intrusion: Banner ads & occasional redirects
Registration: Optional
EZTV is an excellent torrent site for TV series. Its catalog includes older and newer titles and its torrents are generally well-seeded.

EZTV actively encourages you to use a VPN while torrenting.
The site’s forum is very active, posting regular community announcements and responding promptly to content requests.
Multiple changes in ownership, coupled with shutdowns over the years, has resulted in a lack of investment in the site. We were unimpressed by its stripped-back user interface, especially the lack of advanced search filters.
Allowing users to filter torrents by seeders would drastically improve EZTV’s usability.
EZTV is blocked in several countries due to its copyrighted content, however it is one the few torrenting sites that still works in India.
8. TorLock
Well-rounded torrent site with a useful feedback system.
|
|
TorLock Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2010
Specialization: Movies, TV series, music, ebooks & more
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: sitenable.top/torlock-proxy/, sitenable.co/torlock-proxy/, sitenable.in/torlock-proxy/
Blocked in Countries: UK, Italy, India, France & more
Ad Intrusion: Lots of ads including pop-ups
Registration: Optional
TorLock has one of the most up-to-date content libraries we’ve tested. It has torrents for movies, TV shows, and video games released in June 2023.

Our testing was continually interrupted by TorLock’s ads.
We also appreciated its torrent ‘health score’, represented by a coloured bar, to indicate the risk associated with the corresponding torrent.
Each torrent has hundreds of seeders thanks to TorLock’s massive user base. This means that larger files, like movies or video games, can be downloaded quickly.
TorLock’s main drawback is its frustrating user experience. Aside from by category or by name, TorLock doesn’t offer any advanced search filters. Its persistent pop-up ads also impeded our testing and the site’s overall usability.
9. TorrentGalaxy
Recently established torrent site with a modest collection of movies, music, and TV series.
|
|
TorrentGalaxy Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2018
Specialization: Movies, TV series, music, video games & software
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: torrentgalaxy.su, torrentgalaxy.mx, torrentgalaxy.cyou
Blocked in Countries: Unknown
Ad Intrusion: Lots of ads
Registration: Optional
TorrentGalaxy is a relatively new torrent site that has avoided any shutdowns or domain migrations – despite hosting copyrighted content.

It’s easy to locate a specific content type with TorrentGalaxy’s quick nav bar.
Despite some distracting banner ads, we found TorrentGalaxy easy to use with an accessible interface.
We appreciate the amount of information it lists for torrents including: uploader name, magnet link availability, number of seeders, and user comments.
The comment system, in particular, reduces the risk of downloading malicious files due to the feedback from other users.
We were able to download content quickly due to a large number of seeders for most torrents. Although, recently uploaded torrents tended to suffer from a subpar seeder-leecher ratio.
A major drawback is TorrentGalaxy’s limited number of torrents. Although its content is varied it still falls short of leading torrent sites such as the Pirate Bay and 1337x.
As a result, TorrentGalaxy’s content library feels outdated as it can’t match the pace of its competitors.
10. Nyaa.si
Consistently the best torrent site for anime.
|
|
Nyaa.si Quick Summary:
Year Launched: 2005
Specialization: Anime, music, video games & software
Mirror Sites & Alt. Domains: nyaa.ink, nyaa.iss.ink, ny.iss.one
Blocked in Countries: India, Japan, US
Ad Intrusion: No ads
Registration: Optional
Nyaa.si is a clone of the once popular anime site Nyaa.se, with the latter shutting down indefinitely in 2021.

Nyaa.si is the last unblocked clone left of Nyaa.se.
Nyaa.si remains online but, due to its illegal nature, access to the site is blocked in several countries, including India and Japan.
You can torrent the latest animes both dubbed and subbed with support for multiple languages. There’s also torrents for anime music videos, video games, and software.
It’s easy to use Nyaa.si thanks to its simple interface. You can click the ‘up arrow’ at the top of the torrent list to quickly sort by number of seeders. There’s also options to filter torrents by content type, language, and file size.
However, its average seeder-leecher ratio was poor, resulting in consistently slow download speeds.
