5. FilesLoop


Very colourful interface, elegant too, though not the simplest or the most direct among it's peers. There is this very useful search engine, that allows searching through numerous file hosting sites and torrent sites, to retrieve links of files. It also supports downloading from file sharing sites (Uploaded, rapidgator, uploadable, Filefactory, Turboit, 1fichier, mediafire and secureupload) as an addition to caching torrent to direct download.

filesloop (good queuing system for torrents and magnets, doesn't just bounce ur link when channel is full, it allows u start when need / trial period too short)

4. Bitport


A very decent looking torrent to download site, not the most friendly interface for a direct download / torrent caching site. Good trial service, you can download as zip or navigate the directory within your cached torrent; also supports video thumbnail and preview feature, a detailed download queuing and management screen ('Transfers'). The presence of a converter also makes it the best I have seen so far for media related downloads.
Strengths:

  • Can navigate cached torrent folder or download as zip
  • Good queuing and transfer manager
  • Free feature allows download of Torrent larger than trial limit of others
  • Not the simplest interface we've seen so far
  • Free trial has a limited cloud space (2 GB)
  • Free trial as a 100 MB per hour caching policy (very unfair)

3: Filestream


Another cool Torrent to direct download site, simple interface, very straight forward, allows magnets links and torrent files, their free service offers decent features with a 1gb limit . Though you can store a couple of files in your storage, very efficient caching system. Files expire after 3 days when not in premium mode.
Strengths:
  • Simple and straight forward interface
  • allows navigation of downloaded folders for downloading of single files off the lot
  • allows zipping of files before download
  • Free service gives you quite a bit of their reliable service, albeit with a 1gb download limit
  • Gives you a choice for either downloading via SSL, or no SSL.
  • No video preview
  • If you're looking to use the free service, have in mind it won't cache files above 1 GB.
  • Chiko robot fills my email :(

2: Torrent2DDL


A good free service, very good free service; but performs caching only unto to file sharing sites, as at the time of writing, uptobox and 1fichier are still the only two, supported.

Soon, popular torrent site The Pirate Bay will no longer host torrent files. Instead, it will only offer magnet links. Magnet what now? You may have seen the term 'magnet link' before, but if you haven't used one, here's the lowdown on what this change means for you as a BitTorrent user.

How Magnet Links Are Different From .Torrent Files

When you download a .torrent file, you're essentially downloading a small file that contains information on the larger files you want to download. The torrent file tells your torrent client the names of the files being shared, a URL for the tracker, and more. Your torrent client then calculates a hash code, which is a unique code that only that torrent has—kind of like an ISBN or catalog number. From there, it can use that code to find others uploading those files, so you can download from them.

A magnet link does away with the middleman. A magnet link is essentially a hyperlink containing the hash code for that torrent, which your torrent client can immediately use to start finding people sharing those files. Magnet links don't require a tracker (since it uses DHT, which you can read more about here), nor does it require you to download a separate file before starting the download, which is convenient.

How to Use Magnet Links

Magnet links are dead simple to use. If you head to the Pirate Bay now, you'll notice that magnet links are now the default, with the 'Get Torrent File' link in parentheses next to it (a link which will disappear in a month or so). Just click on the magnet link, and your browser should automatically open up your default BitTorrent client and start downloading. It's that easy.

What This Ultimately Means for You

The short answer is nothing. In fact, it could mean that downloading torrents takes one or two fewer clicks, since all you have to do is click on the link to start the download. When magnet links first came out, not all torrent clients supported them, but now you can use magnet links with just about any semi-popular torrent client out there—including our favorites uTorrent, Transmission, and Deluge, among others, so you shouldn't notice a problem with that.

The main reason torrent sites are moving toward magnet links—apart from convenience to the user—is that these links (probably) free torrent sites like The Pirate Bay from legal trouble. Since The Pirate Bay won't be hosting files that link to copyrighted content—that is, the torrent files—it's more difficult to claim the site is directly enabling the downloading of copyrighted material. Whether this semantic leap actually protects torrent sites remains to be seen, but for now, you can sleep soundly knowing that the sites will stick around for awhile longer and that your torrents will take one less click to get started.
