  • Bittorrent is taking over the internet…

    September 27, 2006

    Courtesy of Torrentfreak:

    The popularity of BitTorrent is growing every day. BitTorrent sites
    are on the rise, and now four of them hold positions in the top 500
    most popular websites on the Internet. Even more are expected to join
    the club in the near future.

    Back in 2004, Suprnova managed to
    settle itself among the 1000 most visited websites on the internet. So
    when the site was taken offline december 19, 2004, there was a huge gap
    to fill. Today, 6 bittorrent sites entered this top 1000 list,
    generating more traffic than Suprnova ever did.

    Sites in Alexa’s Top 1000 (rank September 26, 2006)

  • 205 Mininova

  • 218 Torrentspy

  • 387 The Piratebay

  • 439 Isohunt

  • 573 Torrentz

  • 593 Demonoid

  • Top 4


    As you can see, there are now four BitTorrent sites in the top 500 of the most visited websites on the internet. Torrentspy and Mininova are currently 218 and 205. The Piratebay and Isohunt follow in 387 and 439 respectively.
