As of August 3, 2005, the 5 Best Bit Torrent search engine sites are listed below.

1. The Pirate Bay
(This is a fresh and growing Torrent site out of Europe. The user following is also growing quickly as people discover this tremendous database.)

2. Isohunt.com
(Also a free Torrent site, Isohunt.com is fighting off the threat of an MPAA law suit. The site owner is a true libertarian, and is mounting a compelling defense against the MPAA. Read the details at the Isohunt home page. This is an outstanding Torrent site, and P2P users are cheering for its continued success and operations.)

3. Torrentspy.com
(Currently a free Torrent site, Torrentspy is also an outstanding site for overall size, speed, and user-friendliness.)

4. MiniNova.org
(Currently a free Torrent site, MiniNova is not a large database yet. But it is a clean and reliable interface with fast access and searching. With time, the membership and database here will grow.)

5. Bi-Torrent.com
(Also known as ?VIP Torrents?, Bi-Torrent.com is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.)
