Torrent websites are known for adding and hiding ads on their website to get more clicks that result in excellent revenue generation, but we all are aware of the annoyance and difficulties that we use to face while trying to download torrents from any website. Skytorrents is an amazing source for free torrents where you can download any file without any restriction and avoid the hassle of ads.

What is Skytorrents?

Skytorrents is an open torrent website that allows the users to download torrents for free. It is among the recently launched torrent providers but is very different from each and every one of them. The website has distinct features that set it apart from its competitors such as a large number of torrents, free downloads, and no requirement of membership.

Is Skytorrents safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which Skytorrents 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, Skytorrents has a domain score of 13 and a trust score of 34 which is respectable. Most of the torrents I’ve reviewed have had a hard time establishing a DS of more than 5.

The simple layout of the website allows it to load faster and offer navigation convenience to desktop users. Elements like text, icons, buttons, and even links are placed thoughtfully to fit the desktop version of the website.

Using the website on mobile can be an ordeal as there is no dedicated layout for the same. When opened on a mobile, the website opens in the desktop layout with a shrunken view. Users have to zoom in and out constantly to read the content of the page or click on the links. To get the best experience of the website, you need a stable internet connection of at least 10Mbps.

Suggestions I have for Skytorrents

Skytorrents is an amazing website and a good source for free torrents. With some minor changes, the website can become more user friendly. The website needs to have a header to enable easy navigation for the users who will be using the website. Genre-based segregation can be of great help to the users to browse torrents of a specific genre if they are unsure about what to download. Though there’s not much that can be done to improve the website’s location-based access, the website can share mirror links of the real website to enable the users to access it without being blocked.

Conclusion

There is hardly any website that matches the caliber of Skytorrents in the number of free indie torrents offered. For frequent free indie torrent downloaders, Skytorrents can become a hub for their free indie torrent downloads. It has so much unexplored potential.
