Mininova: BitTorrent Files Directory Search

Find and download BitTorrent files with Mininova, a historic directory and search engine for peer-to-peer file sharing.

What is Mininova?

Mininova is a website that serves as a search engine and directory for BitTorrent files. It launched in 2004 and quickly became one of the most popular BitTorrent indexes in the mid to late 2000s.

At its peak, Mininova was receiving over 30 million unique visitors per month. It provided an easy way for users to find and download torrents files across a wide range of content types including movies, TV shows, music, books, and more.

However, Mininova's popularity went into decline after it removed all infringing torrents in 2009 following legal pressure. A large portion of content was removed, and users migrated to other torrent sites. Additionally, the rise of alternative piracy sources diminished traffic.

Today, Mininova still exists but sees far less traffic than in its heyday. It faces strong competition from sites like The Pirate Bay and RARBG. However, it still maintains an active community and indexes a few hundred thousand torrents.
