After taking a bit too long away from the game, I came back to a dead kickasstorrents..... chased mirrors for a few weeks but I am starting to wonder... where the hell are people finding torrents now these days? I thought losing demonoid was bad, but dropping KAT as well makes me sad.... I got a lotta seasons to catch up!

Top 10 Most Popular Torrent Sites of 2016
Posting a list of the world’s most-visited torrent sites has been a long-standing tradition at TF, which we continue today. At the start of 2016 KickassTorrents is pulling in most traffic followed by The Pirate Bay. A lot of things have happened over the past year, with some torrent sites disappearing from the scene and others taking their place.
Most file-sharers are creatures of habit, but when their favorite site disappears they gladly hop over to the next one.

This is also reflected in our annual top 10 torrent sites with the most traffic, which sees the usual names on top but also features some dubious newcomers.

One of the major changes came with the hostile takeover of the popular TV-torrent site EZTV. This prompted the popular TV-torrent distribution group to shut down last May. Another group took over the popular brand and continued with their own ‘unofficial’ EZTV releases. We therefore marked the site as a newcomer.

Something similar happened to YIFY’s YTS website, when its New Zealand-based admin ran into legal trouble. The official YTS website shut down but it was quickly replaced by the “unofficial” YTS.ag, which gathered a large user-base over the past two months.

Apparently, most torrent users are happy as long as they can get their fix, no matter what the source is.

KickassTorrents (KAT) remains the most visited torrent site and continues to grow. The Pirate Bay is listed in second place and made a strong comeback after nearly two months of downtime spanning the turn of the year. Since the site has been operating from several domain names until a few days ago, we chose not to list an Alexa rank.

Finally, it’s worth noting that Rutracker would have made it into the top five based on the number of visitors. However, we choose to only include English language content sites.

Below is the full list of the top 10 most-visited torrent sites at the start of the new year. The list is based on various traffic reports and we display the Alexa rank for each. In addition, we include last year’s ranking for each of the 10 sites.

So i don't understand this kind of stuff and my girlfriend usually does all the downloading. She says kickass suddenly started asking you to sign in so she quit using it. And i have no idea what proxy means. Would someone mind explaining it to a not tech savvy guy like myself please? We haven't downloaded anything in months and there's tones of movies and shows we're missing out on.

I have been using torrent sites now for many years. My go to website is now rarbg.to

Public tracker and good speeds but if you really want to get your movie or tv show quicker, try downloading Kodi and use the Exodus addon. Excellent quality streaming with many more options for sound, subtitles, etc

Stay away from KAT now, it's just a popup joke with no downloadable torrent files

Just get Kodi for movies and TV shows, exodus is a great app for Kodi. Google it, it's kinda hard to setup but it's the shit!
