1. The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay is probably the best known BitTorrent brand on the Internet. The site was founded in 2003 and is still expanding, despite the immense legal witch hunt launched by the entertainment industries several years ago.

2. Torrentz

Torrentz has been the leading BitTorrent meta-search engine for years. A few weeks ago the site traded in its .COM domain and switched to .EU, but this didn’t affect the site’s traffic.

3. IsoHunt

Last year was a tough one for isoHunt, as it became the first search engine that had to implement a keyword filter provided by the MPAA. Despite this setback, isoHunt is still the third largest torrent site in terms of traffic. In 2011, isoHunt hopes to get rid of the filter through the Appeals Court.

4. KickassTorrents

KickassTorrents was the fastest growing newcomer of last year, and managed to continue this upward trend throughout 2010. The site released many new features and continues to innovate, still without a single banner ad on the site.

5. BTjunkie

BTjunkie had a pretty quiet year, which is usually good news for a site that operates in the BitTorrent niche. The only setback was the removal of the site’s front page from Google due to a DMCA complaint. As last year, BTjunkie settles in fifth place.

6. Demonoid.me

The impossible happened. Demonoid finished 2010 with only a minimal amount of downtime, compared to weeks or months in previous years. A few weeks ago the site announced that it would move from the familiar .COM to a .ME domain in response to the news about US domain seizures.

7. ExtraTorrent.com

ExtraTorrent is one of those robust torrent indexes that don’t make the news very often. In 2010 it continued to expand and the site gained two spots compared to last year.

8. TorrentDownloads.net

TorrentDownloads is in the same league as ExtraTorrent, a no nonsense torrent index that provides torrents to millions of users each month.

9. TorrentReactor

TorrentReactor fooled most of the tech press last year when it announced that it had bought a Russian town, one of the better PR stunts seen in 2010. On the flipside TorrentReactor seems to have lost some traffic due to a Google penalty, dropping the site to 9th place this year.

10. LimeTorrents.com

LimeTorrents is the best newcomer of 2010 in terms of traffic, which promises a lot for the new year. The site went live half a year ago and already made it into the top 10 in this short period. It’s also a bit ironic as ‘Limewire’ got shutdown a few months ago.

Guide for å laste ned filmer

Med BitTorrent-teknologien kan alle laste ned filmer helt gratis og det er ganske enkelt å komme i gang. Men husk at dette er ulovlig, så jeg kan anbefale f.eks. http://www.film2home.no/ eller http://www.voddler.com/ for de som vil prøve et lovlig, men begrenset alternativ.

Så til guiden for å laste ned filmer med BitTorrent..

1. Først trenger du en bittorent-klient (nedlastingsprogram). Last ned og installer uTorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/

2. Så kan du gå til The Pirate Bay. Dette er det mest populære nettstedet som tilbyr torrent-filer og har et meget bra utvalg i filmer, tv-serier, musikk, spill, programmer og mye mer.

3. Finn en film du vil laste ned ved å søke eller bla i kategorier eller topp-lister.
Det enkleste er å trykke på magnet-ikonet . Filmen åpnes da for nedlasting i uTorrent og det er bare å vente i spenning til nedlastingen er ferdig. Du kan også trykke på men må da velge at filen skal åpnes i uTorrent.

Du kan laste ned så mange filmer (og andre typer media) du vil, og de lastes ned etterhvert som de tidligere nedlastingene er ferdig.

Eksempel på innstillinger

Dersom du opplever at Internett blir tregt når du laster ned filmer må du begrense nedlastingshastigheten og antall tilkoblinger.

Trygg CTRL-G (eller velg Verktøy -> Installasjonsveiledning) for automatisk justering av båndbredde.

Du kan også justere dette manuelt under Verktøy-> Innstillinger-> Båndbredde.
