I do not condone piracy, so stop calling me to ask what happened to Pirate Bay!

With The Pirate Bay still down for the count, sad pirates can take solace in the fact that there are actually plenty of other great torrent sites out there. Below we’ve listed four popular alternatives that TorrentFreak earlier this year listed as the most used in the world after The Pirate Bay.  So stop calling me and turn to an alternative.  The four best are listed below.

 KickassTorrents

kickasstorrents

After The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents is easily the second-most popular torrent site in the world. Founded in 2009, the site apparently faces ISP blockades in countries such as the U.K. and Italy, although here in the U.S. it’s loading for us just fine.

Torrentz

torrentz

Torrentz is cool because it’s a very simple search engine that does a good job of scouting around for torrents on other websites even as it hosts no pirated material of its own. So even if your favorite torrent site gets taken down by the copyright cops, Torrentz can find what you’re looking for at another location.

Extra Torrent

extra-torrent

This is another up-and-coming site that had its original domain name suspended last year thanks to its notoriety as an online den of ill repute. Now safely available at ExtraTorrent.cc, the site features a huge library of torrents for you to browse to your heart’s content.

YTS.RE

YTS

This is a relative newcomer to the torrent scene, although as you can see it doesn’t lack some of today’s most popular movie downloads on the Internet. YTS.RE has noticed that there are several fake copycat sites that have popped up in the wake of The Pirate Bay’s collapse and it says you should only trust the domains yts.re and yts.wf.
