TorrentSpy.com was a Torrent search engine for peer to peer sharing of files
TorrentSpy.com - The Largest BitTorrent Search Engine
Excerpted from the website:
- We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring the Torrentspy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down worldwide on March 24, 2008.
What is Torrentspy.com?
Torrentspy.com is a website that offers free downloads of many software’s, movies, music, games, and many other applications or utilities designed to work, either for Personal Computer (PC) or MAC. The basic function of torrentspy.com is to provide free downloads of games, applications, etc. to users all over the world. In other words, it acts as a portal for many users to share their files.
How Torrentspy.com works?
Torrentspy.com acts as a portal for users all over the world who wants to share their files with other users that are not known to them. It works as follows: If you want to get any application or any other utility or media, you will have to type http://www.torrentspy.com in your internet browser and make a search for that application or media and then you get the desired results. Based upon the number of results you get, you have to choose the best file that has a good health. The word “health” here refers to the number of seeders and downloader’s available for a particular file. The “seeders” are the users who have the complete file and they are allowing other users to upload files from their PC or MAC. The “downloader’s” are the users who don’t have the complete file but they are downloading the same from the seeders to get the complete file. In other words, they also want to become seeders or they want to get the complete file from seeders.
One important thing to remember while downloading a file related to any category, is to make sure that the file you choose has more number of seeders and less no. of downloader’s because if more seeders are available for that file then it will be easy for you to get the file in lesser time. But, if the number of downloader’s is more as compared to the no. of seeders, then you will get the same file in much more time as the downloader’s are themselves downloading the same file resulting in complete utilization of bandwidth of seeders.
To download a torrent file, you need to have a torrent downloader, which is basically an application that helps you to download a particular torrent file. There are many torrent applications that help you to download torrent files and some of the best torrent files downloading software’s are Bittorrent, utorrent and BitComet. These software’s are available for free on the internet and you can either find them through Google or by going to their respective websites.
Future prospects of Torrentspy.com
Torrentspy.com is a renowned Bit Torrent indexing site on the internet and it hosts a large number of torrent files shared by external sources. It also has a forum where users can make general discussion related to torrentspy.com or any other discussion. Torrentspy.com hosts a large no. of torrent files that contains new releases of movies, games, software’s, music, etc and since, sharing of copyrighted content is illegal as per the US laws, so the future prospects of torrentspy.com seems to be in danger and it may come to an end any time.
Earlier, in May, 2005 Torrentspy.com was commanded to remove all the links related to Star Wars Episode 3 and in June, 2005 all the links related to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, for breach of copyright rules. Since then, it has become an issue whether such torrent sites should prevail or they should be shut down immediately. But, it seems that some big companies have got some interests in these websites, as a result of which no action has been taken till now.
