Perbandingan -- BitTorrent sites

There are many different BitTorrent websites. They typically contain multiple torrent files and an index of those files. In a typical scenario, a user would enter such a site and browse or search for the content they desire, based on the torrent descriptions posted at the site by other users. If a torrent with the sought content is found, the user could download that torrent.

Such websites each have different features to facilitate the user's search.

Features

BitTorrent Tracker

BitTorrent sites may operate a BitTorrent tracker. A tracker provides the site with greater control over user interaction with the content offered by the site. Operating a tracker should not be confused with hosting content.

Comments

Some sites let users post comments about files. Comments allow user to gain additional information before deciding to download a file. This is especially useful when dealing with larger files which may take hours or even days to download.

Specialization

BitTorrent sites may either focus on certain content —for example, etree.org focuses on Live Concerts— or may have no particular focus, like Mininova. Some sites specialize as search engines of other torrent sites (see below).

Multi-tracker index

Some sites like 'Torrentz.eu' index and provide a combined listing of torrents found on multiple other torrent index sites. This saves time looking for torrents on different other sites. And chances of finding difficult-to find files are increased.

DHT search

Search over DHT network
