Torrent sites are still up and running despite the loss of major torrent site Kickass Torrents but recent reports reveal that the once-shut-down KAT is back from the dead. Furthermore, new torrent sites have been spotted by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) that have been tasked to hunt and takedown piracy sites.
The MPAA recently submitted a list of pirate sites before the U.S. government in three different categories: torrent or torrents sites, linking sites and cyberlockers. According to a report, these three divisions are said to differ on how business is conducted but all freely share copyrighted contents which MMDA claims would hurt the U.S. economy in the long term.
The top torrent sites that allegedly replaced KAT and Torrentz have been listed by the MMDA. In the first category, The Pirate Bay was listed first. MMDA reportedly saw TPB's traffic surge to a record high immediately after the twin shutting down of Torrentz and Kickass Torrents.
Moreover, the torrent site TPB reportedly clocks about 47 million new visitors every month. In addition, ExtraTorrent.cc is said to be the second largest torrent site in operation with around 100 million active users at one point. Also included in the list are RARBG, Rutracker.org and 1337x.
In other news, the famous torrent site Kickass Torrents is reportedly back in business. KAT allegedly moved to a new domain called kat.cr. Moreover, users who attempt to enter KAT will automatically be redirected from kickass.to to kat.cr. The report came from EarnSpree revealing that the renowned torrent site is officially back and already operating.
Torrent users allegedly accessed KAT mirror sites like https://kat.how discreetly and discovered the Torrent database right before it was shut down. Apparently, all the movies, game torrent files and TV series can still be spotted online just as how it was before KAT closed. The KAT community reportedly saw the torrent site as their virtual home and would not let the community fall down that easily. Watch video about Kickass Torrent- Top 10 alternativeshere:
