Bitsnoop - New Torrent Search Engine

Downloading files is more easier now, Thanks to Torrents. There are many popular torrent sites like isoHunt, mininova.org, ThePiratebay etc which allow you to download almost any file. Although the most reliable torrent search engine ThePiratebay is facing lawsuit to shut it down and recently its appeal has also been delayed until next year, which is surely not a good sign. In the mean while users will look for torrent alternatives. BitSnoop can make a difference.

Russian, Moscow based engine BitSnoop which is in its beta has around 2million torrents ranging from video, audio, software, movies etc. It has a simple search page just like Piratebay. Best thing about this site is its search criteria based on peers, seeders, leechers, size, health and age. We all know that searching a torrent is easy but searching the right one is difficult. A healthy torrent should have more seeds in order to get good download speed.
