popular search engine Torrentz.eu shuts

Two weeks after pirates’ favorite search engine KickassTorrents closed doorsfollowing the arrest of alleged founder Artem Vaulin in Poland, the torrent community has lost another major player today – and this time it’s Torrentz.eu.

After more than 13 years of service, the popular site announced its farewell just a few hours ago. While the homepage is still active, Torrentz has completely disabled its search functionality and has similarly removed all torrent links.

Although it did not host torrents of its own, the site quickly became one of the world’s largest meta-search engines, indexing torrents from a wide variety of trackers and catering to millions of users each day.

The reasons for the shutdown are yet to be revealed. The only details available are a few mysterious lines of text referring to the site in past tense:

Torrentz was a free, fast and powerful meta-search engine combining results from dozens of search engines.

With Torrentz now virtually defunct, the torrent community has lost two of its largest sources in the window of less than three weeks.

In the case of KickassTorrents, it didn’t take long before a number of mirror sites surfaced on the Web, promptly filling up the gap the prominent tracker left. We’re yet to see whether similar circumstances will follow with Torrentz.

Boss i was introduced to something called bit che ni software unadownload unainstall its a search engine what it does is that it lists all torrents with highest leechers or seeders from all torrent sites that are there hence unachagua from which site to download thank the person who introduced me later

Yifi was shut down. The owner agreed not to upload more torrents.

Kuna yts.ag. It has the same stuff.

Yeah but thats a different person and not the original yifi

Is pretty perfect, forever torrent!!!

used to upload stuff faster than kickass

Such a shame! It’s like Ezekiel Mutua taking down Google search website because if you type “huddah monroe nudes” you’ll get naked pictures results.

This onslaught on torrent websites is going too far. Freedom of information seems an agenda the West pursues only if it serves their interests.

ION. The torrent client I use on PC - qbittorrent - has an inbuilt configurable search plugin.
