7 Torrents Free Download Movies
We are well into the new year and the chances are high that the loyal members of the BitTorrent community have already started to look for the best torrent sites for 2019 in order to get their hands on different content.
The rise in legal actions against many torrent websites can be thought of as one significant reason the list of the top torrent sites might change more frequently than it did a few years ago. Regular users of the BitTorrent network might very well remember how the torrent-giants KickAss and ExtraTorrents went down. There has also been an increasing rise in demand for the VPN services, which unblock torrent sites.
Another factor is the increase in the adoption of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime which might have made a dent in BitTorrent’s popularity after their expansion in more than 100 countries. There are tons of free movie streaming sites as well on the web for free-of-cost entertainment.

Beware! Pirated content!
Now, you might be eager to know what are the top torrenting sites you can visit. But before that, you should be aware of some important things. It’s a known fact that most of the torrent sites exist to satisfy people’s lust for piracy (Read more about why people pirate) and to download movies, tv shows, and other things without paying anything.
You might be aware of the fact that indulging in copyright infringement is against the law in many countries and might land people in prison. So, in case you’re looking for something legit, here is our list of 13 best torrent sites for safe and legal torrents.
Protect your privacy
Another important thing to note is you aren’t anonymous when downloading files from the BitTorrent network. Even though the P2P file sharing-based network is highly decentralized, a technically sound person or the internet provider can track a user’s torrenting activity. A workaround to this is using VPN which lets users hide their IP address.

Still, the website has managed to get their name on the popularity charts.
YTS is known for its visual appearance. Moving along the line of other torrent indexing sites, the home page now only features a search page. Pirated content mostly fuels YTS but the looks are enough to give a tough competition to some popular streaming services.

It only does the job of finding the torrents present on other torrent sites. Still, it appears that Torrentz2 could be a worthy inclusion among 2019’s top torrent sites.
Other than using the search box to find torrents, users can also visit the MyTorrentz section where they can take the help of the tag bubble and see verified torrents for different categories.

To satisfy your torrenting needs, Torrents.me lists numerous torrent sites and separates them into different categories. For instance, users can easily find the best torrent sites for movies by visiting the relevant category page.

10. TorLock.com

In addition to the Zooqle, TorLock is another name among the limited number of torrent sites which still carry a .com TLD. The operators of the site seem to be working hard to make TorLock share stage with the best torrent sites available.
This well-known torrent site hosts torrents in a variety of categories and enables frequent visitors to maintain their user accounts. Regarding looks, TorLock might not have the best looks you can find. However, it certainly has the edge over many other top torrent sites like The Pirate Bay, RARABG, LimeTorrents, etc.

Don’t fall for the copycats
