EzTv

EZTV is one of the legendary torrent tracking websites on the internet. The website offers torrents for free indie English TV shows and has a very interesting story that involves shutdown, hacking, and even hostile takeovers.

Is EZTV safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which EZTV does have. By using tools such as SEOQuake and MOZ, you can easily check the credibility of a website by gauging Domain Score (DS) and Trust Score (TS). Based on my research, EZTV has a domain score of 31 and a trust score of 45 which is simply phenomenal. For a torrent site to have a domain score of above 40 is easily comparable to those massive multi-topic blogging sites with a DS over 70. We all know that establishing an authoritative torrent site is not a cakewalk. We’ve seen websites that have been around for decades and still haven’t managed to surpass a DS of 5 and a TS of 30.

What should you expect from EZTV?

EZTV’s proficiency lies in free indie TV shows and the website is very famous for it. However, the website also offers other incredible benefits that you might not have heard about. Here are some of them:

Diverse Content Categories – EZTV packs in everything that can be considered as an free indie TV show. Due to which, its expansive free indie content categories comprise all genres such as Action, Thriller, Comedy, Cartoon, Reality shows, Crime, Drama, Anime, and others.

Easy download process – A complicated downloading process can be a huge turn-off as it feels like you are just one step away from getting your file after every step. Therefore, EZTV has kept the download process very simple. All you have to do is find the free indie TV show you want to download and click on the name. This will take you to the download page of that particular show and the link for file download will be at the bottom of the page.

No Restrictions – EZTV is an open website and requires no registration or signups. You can access the website’s free indie content library and view or download content for free. Moreover, there is no such thing as a user limit or download limit on the files. You can download numerous files simultaneously or during different times of the day. The website also allows you to download files from different content categories.

Forums – Even though the website does not have a community system, it still has a forum where downloaders can get the latest news about the website. They can talk about different free indie TV shows and free indie episodes in the forums too. EZTV also has a ‘Random Discussions’ topic where the members can write about the different problems they have been facing while using the website. However, if you wish to participate in the forum discussions, you need to have a registered User ID that you can get from the website’s login page through a simple registration process.

Design

The website has a basic design that has a single color background and a lot of elements. Its elements list consists of links, tables, search bars, dropdowns, icons, text, and buttons. These elements facilitate smooth navigation and easy website browsing.

Header – EZTV has a very simple header that has few options and icons placed alongside each other. It has options like ‘Home’, ‘Countdown List’, ‘Calendar’, ‘Show list’, ‘Forums’, ‘RSS, ‘FAQs/Help’, and ‘Login’. These options can take you to the different pages of the website where you can download torrents or access other functionalities.

Inner Pages – The inner pages of the website also have a simplistic layout. Most of them have tables with different links. Apart from that, only the login page has a different design. The homepage is the heaviest page on the website as it has several elements that are crammed into a single layout. The header section is followed by the ‘latest airings’, ‘website news’, and ‘Important’. Under that, it has the announcements and the login panel which are then followed by checkboxes of filters and the table of torrents.

Content – EZTV has a huge database of torrents that can be downloaded by visitors. The database is updated by the sysops of EZTV and its peer website. The TV shows on the website cover different categories which gives the visitors more options to download. Most of the files on the website have a good amount of seeds and leeches that make torrent downloads faster.

Desktop/Mobile experience

The website has a horizontal design approach which means it leans towards desktops more than mobile or tablet devices. EZTV’s aspect ratio fits the desktop screens perfectly and most of the functionalities can be used conveniently. The desktop version of the website also gives good download speed for most of the torrents as the light web pages don’t slow down your internet connection.

EZTV does not have a responsive website that can be accessed conveniently via your mobile device. The visitors have to use the desktop version of the website and zoom in and out to click on the links or a button.

Suggestions I have for EZTV

The website can be a great source for free indie TV show fans but the lack of responsive mobile layout can be a major problem for most of the users. People now use mobiles to download torrents and if they have to struggle to download files, they will start looking for better options. EZTV must design a simple or a lite version of the website for mobile users for added convenience.

Torrent links are just placed on the website according to the date which often mixes the different genres making it arduous for the users to find the free indie content from the desired category. Therefore, a content filter is one of the most important things that EZTV needs to incorporate on the website.

Conclusion

To sum it up, EZTV is a great source for free indie TV fans, as periodically updated content along with an easy downloading process can be hard to find. There are some issues that need to be fixed at the earliest to make the website a perfect place for torrent downloads.
