4 days ago I heard about YouTorrent, the great new bittorrent search engine from TorrentFreak. I visit TorrentFreak daily to get my latest torrent news. I am already using Torrent Harvester, Bit Che and PeerSpider to easily search torrents on multiple sites but they are all desktop version. All 3 programs worked very well and there was no reason and need for me to try to use any other web services to search for torrents. I was at a (secret) site yesterday and found a YouTorrent banner. I thought to myself, if YouTorrent banner can be advertised at that site, it must be good.

At first I thought it was just another search engine that searches few bittorrent tracker sites but it turns out to be something quite impressive…


I am no guru in design and SEO, but I can say that everything about YouTorrent is done correctly.
1. Simple interface like Google
2. Real time searching and fast
3. No porn advertisements
4. Searches 12 most popular BitTorrent tracker sites
5. YouTorrent, sounds like YouTube which makes it easy to remember

There are a few new features that are on their way:
– Better blog design (naturally!)
– Information pages (about, help, FAQ .etc)
– Boolean Searches (support for AND, OR and + – )
– Linux Firefox Support
– Static Cached Results Pages
– Advanced Search Features
– Engine Customization Options
– More Engine Selections
– Official Firefox Search Plugin

It’s a good alternative when you can’t install desktop version of torrent searching program. By default the search results are sorted by the amount of seeds and peers. It can also be further sorted by date, torrent name, size, and torrent engines.

I did a little “googling” and found that there are already people looking for freelance programmer to do a YouTorrent clone. It’s always like that. When you’re the first one in this world to create something new, people copies your idea. Then there’s competition which benefits everyone especially us, the users! After 3 days YouTorrent being launched, they are getting 50,000 unique visitors daily. Man… it took this site, raymond.cc 2 years plus to get 45,000 unique visitors.
