Metasearch Sites

A metasearch site doesn’t compile its own index but searches other sites and aggregates the results. A Torrentz search, for example, returns a list of links to other BitTorrent search engines.

Private Sites

The BitTorrent sites in this chapter are public sites, meaning that anyone anytime can jump on, download, and then jump off — no registration required. Private sites, in contrast, have a limited number of memberships available during rare open-registration periods or via invitations from current members. These sites run their own trackers to better control content and keep out the riff-raff.

Private sites monitor each member’s share ratio, which is the amount of data uploaded divided by the amount of data downloaded. Generous members have ratios greater than one, meaning that they’ve sent more data to other peers than they’ve received. Greedy, low-ratio members and bandwidth cheats can be booted off the site, memberships revoked. Thus, fear breeds long-lived torrents and high-speed downloads. Private sites are some of the best places to pirate and invitations can be hard to come by.

Private sites usually stonewall you with a login screen but Demonoid lets anyone, member or not, browse its torrents (though only members can actually download).
