In Need of a New Torrent Search Service

For a couple of years now, I have been using a number of torrent sites to download stuff — they are mostly TV series or movies I haven’t seen in theaters. I started with MiniNova and then moved on to The Pirate Bay.

However, recently, I have been having problems with Pirate Bay as most of the time the site is not loading at all. I also bought a HD media player (HDX NMT 1000) a couple of months with 1TB HDD because it has a built-in bittorrent client that downloads directly into the device (I no longer need a PC for that).

It’s got a nice, clean design with a web2.0-feel to it and best of all, no annoying ads or pop-up banners. And aside form the usual trackers, there are also direct HTTP downloads for selected files.

The volume of content isn’t very extensive yet considering the site is fairly new. However, I’d settle for this one anytime as long as the current stream of new updates are regular and well-seeded.

I liked the idea that they’ve also integrated IMDB into the system so I can browse around for new movies or TV shows and get some background information about them thru IMDB. I usually find new TV shows to follow using IMDB.

I’ve already downloaded a couple of torrents from the site and so far, they all went down perfectly. If you’re looking for some alternative torrent portal, consider checking out Kick Ass Torrents.

Hi Yuga. You can do even better by signing up with Private portals such as immortalseed or xtremespeeds. When you become a member of such sites you’ll be able to access their growing library of torrents (i especially like their documentaries and updated tv listings) including 720p and 1080p flicks, perfect for your media tank. Downloading time is incredible even for torrents with only a few seeds. All they ask is that you seed back as long as possible.

Torrents are not hosted on their site but by the users themselves. I’m not sure if you can use the ip address of your HDX though, but it is worth a try.

i’ve been using immortalseed for quite some time now… the only thing they require is that you should have a ratio of 1:1 so that your account should not be banned hehe private trackers requires certain ratios except for demonoid

This is my first time to see Kick Ass and it seems like it’s a good site.

Yuga If you need an invite to the sites i mentioned just email me. Parang nag close na yata sila. I’m quite sure na hindi ka naman yung mga hit and run type. As long as you keep your ratio good then you can be trigger happy.
