Searching for torrents can be a little tricky, after all Google wasn’t made as a torrent search engine. This is where torrent search engines comes handy, which makes finding simple and easy.
We decided to compile a list of Top 5 new torrent search engines, its the beginning of September 2008 we bring you some new players in this field (except Torrentz which is 5 years old). The list includes only public websites, which allows you to search for torrents without registration or ratio requirements.
