Written by DrewWilson The admins of The Pirate Bay have stressed that in order for the Bay to stay alive, they need to adapt the site to a legitimate one, selling the site for $7.8 Million in the process. While some users showed their support for the infamous website, others are already jumping ship, demanding that their accounts be removed in the process. We were curious to know what alternatives there are out there these days and have come up with 5 alternative websites.

Suppose you need a file, it may be a movie, mp3 or some software. Lets take for example, the latest Micheal Moore documentary. Its almost certain that many people already have it on their computers.

A torrent can stopped downloading because of several reasons. I was sick of tired because of this kind of matters involve with torrents. So I put my concentration about keeping torrents alive finally I got good involvement and fixing this for some extend.

(1) See how much cheaper it is to shut down torrent sites by buying them rather than suing them? If the media and software industries really are losing "billions" to piracy, $7.7 million is chump change compared to the high priced legal fees everyone spends on suing downloaders.

Transmission is a lightweight BitTorrent client built in GTK, with a clean and simple interface. Although most people prefer more popular clients like Vuze, Deluge or KTorrent, Transmission incorporates all the major features one needs for downloading torrents and can prove a very good alternative to those, especially if you don't need all those whistles and bells.
