Everybody has their favorite BitTorrent tracker site, and for regular BitTorrent users like the readers here at ZeroPaid it’s usually a private one. But, there are a few public ones like Kickass Torrents that may make you reconsider.
Why? Kickass Torrents offers a social component that just isn’t practical with private trackers for obvious reasons.
Kickass Torrents lets you share torrent download pages with friends, family, and even total strangers via Facebook, Google Buzz, Yahoo, eMail, and the ubiquitous Twitter.
Check out these screenshots to see what I’m talking about.
Friends dying to see “The Green Hornet” or the “Black Swan?” What about last night’s episode of “Californication” or “Light’s Out?”You can score major cool points and post a link to their respective download page on your Facebook profile.
There’s also Twitter and eMail…
As for concerns about content quality and fakes, Kickass Torrents offers screenshots that let you take a sneak peek before you even download the torrent file, as well as voting and “report fake” mechanisms that help weed out anti-P2P clutter, something sorely needed on sites like IsoHunt and The Pirate Bay.
*Now for those that aren’t that familiar with BitTorrent or how to use it to “download stuff” I recently wrote a step-by-step guider that ought to take all the guesswork out of it.
Stay tuned.
