The Definite List of Torrentz Alternatives

Torrentz was a popular torrent search engine that launched in 2003 and became the second most popular torrent site in 2012 and again in 2015. On August 5, 2016, the operators of the site posted a message saying "Torrentz will always love you. Farewell", leaving millions of users from around the world without their favorite place to find content online.

When Torrentz2 first appeared on the scene in 2016, indexing over 60 million torrents, the entire torrent community was shocked. Now, merely two years after its launch, Torrentz2 search engine (not to be confused with www.torrentz.eu and www.torrentz.com) is recommended as the best alternative to the original site, and we have to agree.

But as you may know, there’s no shortage of reputable torrent sites online, and it didn’t take a long time for Torrentz alternatives to fill its place. In this article, we provide the definitive list of top best sites with high-quality torrents, so you can find the Torrentz replacement you’ve been looking for.

We decided not to include popular non-English torrent sites for two reasons. First, English speakers find such sites hard to navigate. Second, non-English torrent sites tend to be brewing pots for malware. The sites listed below have been verified for legitimacy, and their operators take pride in their quality and reputation.

 IsoHunt

With millions of torrents, IsoHunt is one of the biggest torrents sites in the world. Unfortunately, IsoHunt’s size comes with a cost.
