BTJunkie is an advanced BitTorrent search engine. It uses a web crawler (similar to Google) to search for torrent files from other torrent sites and store it in its database. It has nearly 4,000,000 active torrents and about 4,200 torrents added daily (compared to runner-up Torrent Portal with 1,500), making it the largest torrent site indexer on the web.[2] Btjunkie is the 5th most popular bittorrent site as of 2011.[3]
Features
BTJunkie indexes both private and public trackers using an automatic web crawler that scans the Internet for torrent files. Cookies are used to track what one downloads so that the person doesn't need to register in order to rate the torrent. The ratings and feedback given by the person are used to help properly filter and flag malicious torrents uploaded onto the website.
