I’m a bit puzzled by the sudden increase in torrent search engines that search on multiple Bittorrent websites at once. It seems like new ones are popping up every day and that others vanish again after just a few days of operation. I really liked Youtorrent before the developers changed it from a useful torrent search engine to one that did not find anything anymore.

It was blazingly fast, searched several of the biggest and most important torrent websites, provided filters and ways to sort the results by date, size, name and several other factors. Youtorrent 3 feels like the same search engine. The interface looks similar and the speed is great. The search engine searches the databases of 13 torrent websites including Mininova, The Pirate Bay and Sumotorrent.

One feature that I really like is that every search result is categorized on top of the table so that the results can be filtered further to reduce the hits. The links lead directly to the download sites of the torrent search engine where the file can be downloaded.

I cannot guarantee that this torrent search engine will be there i a week or two but it does look solid enough that it could stand the test of time.

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.
