YouTorrent Relaunches with 67,170 Legal Torrents

[zatoicchi]

YouTorrent is without a doubt the most talked about newcomer in the BitTorrent scene this year. The site initially indexed all the popular torrent sites, but switched to purely ‘verified’ torrents after receiving legal threats. Today, YouTorrent officially relaunches with 67,170 “legal” torrents, good for 6 TBs of data.

youtorrentWhen we first wrote about YouTorrent, we never expected the site to grow in popularity as quickly as it did. A month after its launch the site was getting millions of visitors, and it continued to grow. In fact, no BitTorrent site had ever grown as fast as YouTorrent.

Unfortunately this astronomical growth didn’t last. In April the meta-search engine stopped indexing sites like The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, and other sources that provide links to unauthorized copyrighted files. They even considered selling the site at the time, but this never went though. Unsurprisingly, this change cost the site most of its visitors, who moved on to YouTorrent alternatives.

"In fact, no BitTorrent site had ever grown as fast as YouTorrent." well,this is true,Ive never seen any tracker as large userbase/data base as You Torrent did !! Isohunt & PirateBay did that too,but the problem that might face those trackers that they are heavily outsourced in terms of files being hosted in several different servers for several different other trackers which so called "partners" !!

67170 legal torrents! YouTorrent and LegalTorrents have become a prime example of the "legal" uses of BitTorrent technology, I would say.

A bit pathetique that they gave up illegal torrents that fast....
It should have been clear that they cause most of the visitors

Anyway, a legal Torrent search engine isn't that bad either...
