As another year kicks off, we take a look at the most popular torrent sites are at the start of 2021. Continuing a long-standing top 10 tradition, we see that The Pirate Bay is the favorite among torrenting users, beating YTS and 1337x. What stands out is that the number of popular English-language torrent sites has declined, while foreign language sites are growing.
The yearly list of popular torrent sites is filled with well-known brands. This year there are two newcomers, TorrentGalaxy and Zooqle. These replace Torrentz2 and Tamilrockers, which have both disappeared.

If we have to signal a clear trend, we would point at an overall decrease in the number of popular English-language torrent sites. At the same time, foreign language sites appear to be growing their audience.
Below is the full list of the top ten most-visited (unique) torrent sites at the start of the new year. The list is based on various traffic reports. Please note that this list is created to keep track of the popularity of these sites over time. We do not recommend or endorse using any of these sites. Some are known to link to malicious ads, at least incidentally.
NYAA.si is a popular resurrection of the anime torrent site NYAA. While there is fierce competition from alternative pirate streaming sites, the torrent portal continues to do well, climbing one position compared to last year.
The group often copies releases from other TV-torrent groups, which occasionally leads to embarrassing situations. The site switched to a new domain a few months ago and currently operates from EZTV.re.
TorrentGalaxy is a relatively new torrent site, which launched little over two years ago. The site has a dedicated group of uploaders and an active community. In addition to torrents, TorrentGalaxy also makes some releases available for streaming.
According to the indictment, Kristopher Lee Dallmann, 36; Darryl Julius Polo, aka djppimp, 36; Douglas M. Courson, 59; Felipe Garcia, 37; Jared Edward Jaurequi, aka Jared Edwards, 38; Peter H. Huber, 61; Yoany Vaillant, aka Yoany Vaillant Fajardo, 38; and Luis Angel Villarino, 40, allegedly ran an entity called Jetflicks, an online subscription-based service headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, that permitted users to stream and, at times, download copyrighted television programs without the permission of the relevant copyright owners.
According to the indictment, Polo was allegedly part of the computer programming team that built Jetflicks but later left and started ISIA, a competing service based in Las Vegas that offered not only television programs but movies. Polo allegedly used many of the same automated tools that Jetflicks employed to locate, download, process and store illegal content, and then quickly make those television programs and movies available on servers in Canada to ISIA subscribers for streaming and/or downloading. In fact, some of the movies offered by ISIA were not yet available for authorized sale, download, or viewing outside a movie theater.
Josh Duggar broke Duggar news in April 2021 with his arrest. Now, Duggar family fans and critics are wondering what\u2019s next. While we await Josh\u2019s trial, an affidavit from an FBI agent posted by a Reddit user details exactly how they found the alleged child sexual abuse material. Here\u2019s what it says.\n\n\n\nWhat is Josh Duggar\u2019s job? Investigators allegedly found child sexual abuse material at his workplace\n\n\n\n\nThe agent said images allegedly found on Josh Duggar's computer were \"in the top five of the worst of the worst that I've ever had to examine\" https:\/\/t.co\/RU0v8DXs6X\u2014 Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP) (@KSPrior) May 6, 2021\n\n\n\n\nLike many of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar\u2019s kids, Josh Duggar has utilized their help to make a career. He and his wife, Anna, have six kids with a seventh on the way. With this many mouths to feed, Josh decided to work on one of the family\u2019s car lots as a salesman. \n\n\n\nThe latest in Duggar news reports an affidavit by Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Gerald\u00a0Faulkner details the FBI going to Josh\u2019s place of work, Wholesale Motorcars. The affidavit notes a Homeland Security Investigations Task Force Officer went undercover to Wholesale Motorcars on Nov. 1, 2019, to act as if he wanted to purchase a car from Josh. After identifying Josh, the undercover investigator made \u201cverbal arrangements\u201d to possibly purchase a car from Josh in the future.\n\n\n\nThose who follow the Duggars may remember rumors of Homeland Security raiding the car lot back in 2019, too. Jim Bob and Michelle denied the investigation happened at their home. \u201cWe were shocked to see a news report today state that our home was raided by federal law enforcement agencies,\u201d a representative for the family explained to\u00a0People. \u201cThis is not true. To the best of our knowledge, it\u2019s also not true that any member of our family is the target of any investigation of any kind.\u201d\n\n\n\nJosh Duggar news: Affidavit reveals how the FBI found the material\n\n\n\nJosh Duggar\u2019s photo after his arrest Washington County Sheriff\u2019s Office via Getty Images\n\n\n\nSo, how did the FBI find the alleged abuse material on Josh Duggar\u2019s devices? Duggar news shows Faulkner explaining the process in his affidavit. \n\n\n\nAccording to Faulkner, it all started with Josh\u2019s IP address. \u201cLaw enforcement uses specialized \u2018peer to peer\u2019 (P2P) software to locate computers offering to participate in the distribution of child pornography images and files over P2P sharing networks in Arkansas,\u201d the document notes. \u201d \u2026 Any computer user who can connect to the internet can download P2P application software, which is typically free, and use it to share files through a P2P network.\u201d\n\n\n\nThe affidavit continues by explaining the BitTorrent network, which is a \u201cpublically available P2P file-sharing network,\u201d as well as what a \u201ctorrent\u201d is, which is \u201ca small file that describes the file(s) to be shared.\u201d Someone hoping to obtain child pornography would go on a BitTorrent network, then a torrent indexing website, and utilize a keyword search to find the material. From there, a torrent would be available for download. Once downloaded, other users on the BitTorrent network can see what was downloaded.\n\n\n\nSo, how did law enforcement catch Josh\u2019s alleged activity? Law enforcement officials can search the BitTorrent network to see the downloaded material and the download location. In May 2019, a Homeland Security investigator was on a BitTorrent P2P file-sharing network for users downloading child pornography. Investigators located the IP address where the content was being downloaded, which led to Josh\u2019s computer.\n\n\n\nWhen is the trial?\n\n\n\n\nJosh Duggar, former reality TV star, charged for possessing child sex abuse materials https:\/\/t.co\/9QmDpULK65 pic.twitter.com\/ntF3qj2J9K\u2014 Reuters (@Reuters) April 30, 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tRelated\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWhat Happens if Josh Duggar Pleads Guilty?
