Many owners of personal computers and laptops with Internet access often hear phrases such as: “This can be downloaded on the torrent”, “The distribution is on the torrent” and the like. But what is this “torrent” and how to download the necessary information from there? And more importantly, how to find a torrent tracker from which only the file you are looking for will be downloaded, and not the virus?
What are torrent trackers?
Torrent trackers are sites that store links that lead to servers and storages that contain files of various types: audio, video, programs, images, disk images, and so on. The process of downloading a torrent file or a magnetic link varies depending on the site, but usually everything is quite simple: click on the link, specify the download location and wait for the full download.
The list of torrent trackers on which you can find suitable files is constantly updated. However, the work of some of them was suspended by Roskomnadzor, which is actively fighting piracy on the Internet. But the site administration found ways to bypass the lock, and users, despite the prohibitions, still use them.
The best open torrent trackers of Runet
The list of torrent trackers without registration on the Internet is headed by the infamous “Rutor”. For many years, an open tracker allowed users to download materials of interest for free and without registration. But in recent years, Roskomnadzor has been actively pressing on this site. Several hosting services were already closed, but the administrators of Rutor created a mirror and marked it at http://live-rutor.org/.
The list of torrent trackers that do not require registration also includes Torrentino.com. On the site you can find movies, TV shows, games, programs and much more. However, due to the heavy load, the site often “freezes”, and in order to download the file, you must wait sixty seconds. Also, some users claim that Torrentino is overloaded with advertising.
With an attendance of 500 thousand people a day, the third place in the list of the best torrent trackers without registration is http://free-torrents.org/. In the store you can always find the best movie news. Also, the creators of the site have created a convenient forum where users can chat and share their impressions of movies and TV shows watched.
List of the best torrent trackers "Runet"
In addition to open trackers, on the Runet open spaces there are large data storages for which access must be registered.
This list of torrent trackers is headed by Rutracker, located at http://rutracker.org. The largest tracker in the CIS has registered more than thirty million users. The site provides access to all types of data and even after blocking Roskomnadzor continues its pirated activities. It is worth noting that the site cooperates with some Russian companies, and therefore it is forbidden to upload certain domestic programs to Rutraker.
A worthy competitor to Rutreker is http://free-torrents.org/. FTO was created as a service where it will be possible to download games and programs that are prohibited on Rutreker. In recent years, the site has gained great popularity, as a result of which it often “freezes” and is out of access.
Electric Train, also known as Uniongang.tv. On this site, the first releases of film novelties appear, and only after that the files migrate to the other large and small trackers.
Foreign torrent trackers
Undoubtedly, the list of the best torrent trackers abroad is headed by the world famous Pirate Bay, or ThePirateBay.org. This tracker indexer is the largest in the world. In addition, the user does not need to register to download from the site.
The list of torrent trackers abroad is headed by Pirate Bay, but mininova.org, the search engine tracker, is in second place. Mininova has been operating for twelve years and does not require registration to access files. However, recently all infringing files have been removed from the site.
IsoHunt.com came in third place in the list of the best torrent trackers abroad. This is a private torrent tracker that runs a convenient search engine. The tracker is one of the largest open repositories, however, registration opens additional services to users.
