Torrentz is a torrent meta-search engine based in Canada^[1] (run by an admin, who goes by the name Flippy) that indexes torrents from various major torrent sites like Mininova, Demonoid, and The Pirate Bay. It offers compilations of various trackers per torrent that are not necessarily present in the default .torrent file so when a tracker is down, other trackers can do the work. Torrentz currently has a traffic rank of 228 on Alexa.^[2]^[3]

[edit] History

In November 2008, scammer(s) using fake papers tried to take over the Torrentz domain. As a backup, the site administrator set up the domain torrentz.eu ^[4].
