Youtorrent

I’m not a regular on torrent websites but I know that they all seem to have a similar layout. No eye candy, no Ajax, just simple searches and results. That’s fine with me but it feels like they are all missing some technology trends that emerged recently with Ajax for instance. Youtorrent is a torrent search engine that tries to be what Youtube is for videos and Youporn is for sex videos - the key player of the torrent search engines.

It searches in 12 torrent trackers and websites to find the best - and most - matches possible. It has a simple interface with no distractions, the search result pages are Ajax based which means you witness a nice effect when the search results pour in. The result pages use a clean interface as well displaying information like file name, size, seeders and peers plus the name and a link to the website that it found the torrent on.

A click on the link loads this website and you can download it from their interface. I was not able to spot advertisement yet on the Youtorrent website but it is only a few days old. Could be that they add advertisement later on but at the moment it is clean and fast as it can get.

The only criticism that I was able to come up with is the lack of boolean search parameters which will be added in an upcoming release according to the site owners. It would be really nice if you could download the torrents right from the Youtorrent website instead of having to load the original website first and download it from there. It is understandable however that the site owners of the original website would not like this that much.
