Switching From The Pirate Bay To 1337x? Is The New Torrent Site A Fresh Alternative Or Only A Complement?
C. de LacySurprisingly, Torrent users are still on the move, looking for alternative places to download torrents and this is justifiable. What with the constant fear of losing The Pirate Bay and the mix up of facts and speculations online. 1337x is starting to make a bit of noise, but is it really a replacement or merely a complement?
We've covered an article before regarding 1337x and its potential to be an extremely good alternative to The Pirate Bay, but is it really on the path of replacing the site that torrent users have always known?
A clear answer to this question is definitely a no, given the long history and track record of the almost immortal and immune to the government site we all know as The Pirate Bay. However, there might be some exceptions where 1337x may be a better choice at certain circumstances.
Even if 1337x is reported to be revising its homepage and the entire site in general to optimize the search capability along with Google's engine, it still appears that The Pirate Bay still has the better search results.
Another imperfection that the 1337x has right now is the way that the site redirects on certain search results. More often than not, performing search queries will tend to forward users to a different page that has more than twice the amount of fake "download torrent" pages that usually are links to scam sites and worse, adware and malwares.
It may not be as significant, but The Pirate Bay's library of torrent keeps growing at a steady pace. If anything, this is a clear indication that the site will keep being busy updating. 1337x, on the other hand, is still a young torrent site and is far from perfect, especially with the torrent library.
Another advantage that The Pirate Bay has over 1337x is the option to browse the same exact site without the NSFW content and even blocking the ads altogether with TPBClean.
The only incentive that people may get in using 1337x are the exclusive torrents that may be found only in the site and not on The Pirate Bay. However, it may only take a few days or weeks before there would be available torrents for a particular file on The Pirate Bay as it is one of the most chosen sites that people share.
