10 Alternatives To Mininova
After nearly five years of loyal service, Mininova disabled access to over a million torrent files when it partly shut down its website. Starting today, only approved publishers are able to upload files to the site, but luckily there are plenty of alternatives and potential replacements BitTorrent users can flock to.

Just use TPB, they’ve gone trackerless but they are very much alive. As someone said over TorrentFreak, "I’m beginning to believe they are some sort of ‘cursed’ black pearl crew that won’t die even if MAFIAA stabs them several times lmao. Long live TPB!"
12.4.2009
Patiently waiting for Demonoid to return…
12.4.2009
What do you thing we are? iPhone owners?!

"Thankfully, there are still plenty of alternatives for those BitTorrent users who are looking for the latest Ubuntu, OpenSUSE or Fedora release."Yea thank you very much
12.4.2009
Why yes it is, it replaces the windowssystem32 one.
12.4.2009
hehe, kill one and 10 will spring up in its place!
12.4.2009
LEAVE MININOVA ALOOONE!!! :’((
12.4.2009
I’m downloading 4TB of Linux!
12.4.2009
If only their search didn’t completely blow.
12.4.2009
Sell me content in a medium I want it on. No DRM, no proprietary codecs, h.264 or xvid and I’d be a customer.I would pay the $60+ a month for access to TV with downloads on demand of all the shows that the air but without draconian copy protection schemes.
12.4.2009
Is encrypt your fricken traffic.
12.4.2009
Love the Hydra pic in the article, someone should unfurl a HUGE banner with one at the RIAA headquarters…
12.4.2009
I am also, with your wife.
12.4.2009
You are a special kind of moron.
12.4.2009
Nice list, always good to have more alternatives.
12.4.2009
Please don’t censor that, as that is just what they want.
12.4.2009
What’s Ubuntu? A new codec?
12.4.2009
If you are a torrent site owner, take note: there is a big group left after mininova, please, improve your design and make your site easy to use, there is an audience looking for a good, light, friendly torrent site that isn’t plastered with ads. Thanks.
12.4.2009
Third rule of bit torrent, seed
12.4.2009
Cut off one of the hydra’s heads and ten take its place.
12.4.2009
That’s the longest haiku I’ve ever seen.
12.4.2009
WOW nice list thnx!
12.4.2009
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
12.4.2009
And now there are more. The whack-a-mole goes on.
12.4.2009
You cant count a site that goes down for months at a time regularly and blocks users from other countries just because they don’t like them. At least, I don’t.
12.4.2009
But Mininova was the alternative…
12.4.2009
Unfortunately, a LOT of those sites are dead.
12.4.2009
To everyone who is linking to private trackers in their comments: You’re a ***** moron.
12.4.2009
ughhhhh. haven’t the studies shown that pirates buy more content than non-pirates? i know i do. seriously… quit messing with our stuff!
12.4.2009
…is to download Fight Club?
12.4.2009
thank you for this list of sites that will be shut down in about a week
12.4.2009
I’m kinda getting sick of that list already. Don’t re-post it plz.
12.4.2009
@LPfmAAF: Dugg down for being a prescriptivist.
12.4.2009
The Hydra lives on.
12.4.2009
Today’s one ***** up day, when I wake up to this *****.
12.4.2009
I do not understand your message. FQCK the RIAA/MPAA? FJCK? I just can’t figure out what that letter could be. Please be more clear in the future.
12.4.2009
nice list? Torrentreactor is on there. How much less fake of a site could exist?
12.4.2009
******
12.4.2009
I think I might give Usenet a whirl.
12.4.2009
….. Damn
12.4.2009
I am, and so is my wife
12.4.2009
I will once both the MPAA and RIAA stop existing merely to gouge us and hold back innovation in how content is distributed
12.4.2009
I think if it were gone for good they would just declare it. They will return.
12.4.2009
edit: How much more of a fake site could exist but you know what I meant.
