Downloading torrents with magnet urls

Hi Raymond. This worked perfectly! As someone who is not technologically savvy, the steps were very easy to follow. Thank you! I had the same problem. Name it magnet and put the location of your torrent software in the data field, as shown in the article! Thanks so so much! But it only worked after I change the local state file to read only. Very clear, worked for me… though it seems a bit superfluous to have the regedit step included, as mine IS a customized location and it did not effect the rest of the process.

Thanks though! Windows 8. Need to copy and paste. Reopen Local State and changes keep in there. But links not working. When done just download it. This totally works!

Kickass torrents got taken down a few years ago. We verified recently that the 12 torrent sites in this article are still online and will continue to do so on a regular basis and update this list. Regardless of which torrent sites you prefer, your internet service provider might restrict access to some of your favorite torrent sites, or might track your torrenting behavior. A VPN is your best friend to counter these issues.

A VPN will allow you to unblock every torrent site, and also keeps you safe and anonymous when torrenting , by encrypting your data traffic and hiding your IP address and identity. One of our personal favorites is NordVPN. These are the best torrent sites still on the market, and you can access any one of them to find your favorite files. Download speed is the average speed for downloading torrents from a certain site, through a client. While that information is reliable only as a ballpark reference, keep in mind that this will vary a lot based on the torrent itself, and your internet connection.

Library size will be included for websites whenever possible. Torrent type and variety are also important when choosing which torrent sites to use.

Ad Intrusion is also important when deciding what torrent site to use. If you have to go through 8 ads just to browse for a file, it might be time to find a new torrent site. In our research, there were about popular torrent sites that we decided not to include due to the ad intrusion level.

Security is very important when downloading torrents. After all, there are plenty of shady torrenting platforms on the internet which could compromise your online security. Website: Visit a working Pirate Bay Mirror. Attention: The Pirate Bay is blocked in many countries even mirror sites , so you might need a VPN to change your virtual location and unblock the Pirate Bay.

The Pirate Bay has been a crowd favorite for many years. However, considering the number of mirrors and blocking attempts, that number may be skewed , and million visits a month is perhaps a bit more accurate. The Pirate Bay is popular for its large community, which ensures at least one seeder on almost any torrent on the site, no matter the age.

We tried downloading obscure titles from even over a decade ago, and we found that there were still happy seeders to help out. You can also look at our list of Pirate Bay alternatives for more options. RARBG is a large directory of torrents, famous for a very active community of seeders and high-quality torrents.

Its library size is decent, and it gets updated often, meaning that you have a high chance of finding new torrents on the site. The only difference is that ad intrusion is more annoying on RARBG, so take that into account when choosing one of the two.

There are a lot of phishing scams going around with RARBG-looking sites, so make sure you learn about secure browsing.

Website: X website. Some people use it to browse for game torrents as well, but from our research, it does look like both RARBG and The Pirate Bay have more torrents in that category, especially for older titles. A few years ago, X was a bad choice for any torrenting, since it was clunky to navigate and it posed a lot of security risks.

Since then, it went through an entire site revamp , making it seamless to browse and safer. For shows and movies, you also have improved browsing functionalities, like searching by award nomination. Mirrors: x. Website: Torrentz2 website. While this is not that big of a torrent site — only amassing million users a month, and unable to sport much of a library for general torrents — Torrentz2 is very good for finding music. Not to mention — any type of browsing options, like searching by album, artist or song would be greatly appreciated.

Second, ad intrusion is minimal and the interface is beautiful. Lastly, classics are readily available on the platform. If you want high-definition episodes of your favourite shows, EZTV is the place to go. We searched for older titles like Two and a Half Men, and it had a decent library of options. We even tried going for more obscure titles, like the British show Midsomer Murders. EZTV has a large variety of torrents for the new releases in that show, and packages of older episodes.

The following is an example of one such info hash on a popular download site. We will have more of this in the next few sections.
