Following a long-standing annual tradition, today we are releasing a list of the most popular torrent sites in early 2024. According to traffic estimates, we see YTS at the top, followed by 1337x and anime torrent site NYAA. TorrentGalaxy is moving up fast and ranked fourth.
YTS tops the list in 2024 as the torrent indexer attracts millions of visitors per day.
This is quite an achievement considering the legal issues the site has faced in the past and the fact that it only features movies.
The annual list of popular torrent sites remains mostly unchanged. A few positions have changed, but the list has almost the same names as last year.
After the shutdown of RARBG, there is an inevitable newcomer. While some RARBG knockoffs came close, the vacant space was filled by a familiar name, LimeTorrents, which returned after last year’s absence.
We restrict the list to English language torrent sites available worldwide, which means that sites such as Rutracker.org, Yggtorrent.qa, Etoland.co.kr and Zamunda.net are not included, even though they have significant traffic numbers.
Finally, we should emphasize that the annual rankings are based on single domain names. When proxy sites and alternative domains are taken into account, The Pirate Bay and others rank higher.
Below is the full list of the top ten most visited torrent site domains at the start of the new year. This list is compiled based on various traffic reports. Please note that this list is created as a historical record to track the popularity of these sites over time. We also publish annual VPN privacy reviews.
We do not recommend or endorse the use of any of these sites. Some are known to link to malicious ads, at least accidentally. The BitTorrent technology itself is not illegal, but it can only be used to share content with the permission of the owner.
Top 10 Torrent Sites of 2024
1. YTS.mx
YTS.mx is the unofficial successor to the defunct YTS or YIFY Group, which shut down a few years ago.
YTS has been the target of several lawsuits in the US over the past few years. The operator has signed a consent decree and agreed to hand over user data to rights holders. As a result, many YTS users received settlement requests or were sued instead.
2. 1337x
1337x Logo In 2024, 1337x has retained its position in the top three. Unlike some other sites, it has a dedicated group of uploaders and bots that provide new content daily.
1337x offers a wide variety of torrents. The site banned official YTS releases after the above controversy.
3. NYAA.si
NYAA LogoNYAA.si is the revival of the popular anime torrent site NYAA. Despite stiff competition from alternative pirate streaming sites, the torrent portal has continued to perform well and has climbed two positions over the last year.
4. TorrentGalaxy
While TGX was launched five years ago, TorrentGalaxy is relatively new. It has a dedicated group of uploaders and an active community. Apart from torrents, Torrent Galaxy also makes some releases available for streaming.
5. The Pirate Bay
After the Pirate Bay logo celebrated its 20th anniversary a few months ago, The Pirate Bay is now headed for the fifth anniversary.
The Pirate Bay operates from its .org domain but is also available through a number of proxies. If all proxy domains were counted, even a bad torrent site would struggle for the top spot on this list.
6. FitGirl Repacks
FitGirl Repacks logoFitGirl Repacks is by no means a traditional torrent site. It’s home to a popular repacker that releases slimmed-down versions of popular games that keep download times to a minimum.
FitGirl, who we interviewed in 2020, also publishes torrents on other sites, but also provides its own magnet links, which is why we’ve included the site here.
7. Skidrow and Reloaded
SkidrowSkidrow and Reloaded are two reputable game-cracking groups. This may be the inspiration for the folks who run Skidrowreloaded.com, a blog-style publishing site featuring popular game releases.
The site’s X account has been banned, but the domain remains online, making its seventh blockade since its launch last year.
8. EZTV.re
EZTV logoEZTV.re is a controversial TV-torrent distribution group that hijacked the EZTV brand from the original group, which was forced to shut down soon after.
The site still gets some decent traffic, mostly from loyal TV-show followers who haven’t jumped on the streaming bandwagon.
9. LimeTorrents
LimeTorrents logo LimeTorrents has been around since 2009. Like many of the entries on this list, it has been blocked by ISPs in countries around the world, impacting overall traffic. It dropped out of the top 10 last year, but returns in 2024
10. IGGames
Due to the popularity of IGG-Games, another gaming-focused site is listed in the top 10 this year. IGG-Games has made headlines on a few occasions and continues to attract millions of monthly visitors

I consider, what is it very interesting theme. I suggest you it to discuss here or in PM.
