What is TorrentBytes?

TorrentBytes is one of the oldest tracking websites in the world. Its large user base and a vast free indie content library make it superior to any other torrent website that you can think of. It has multiple genres that include action, thriller, and more. Currently, the website is private and is accessible only if you have an invite.

Is TorrentBytes safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which TorrentBytes 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, TorrentBytes has a domain score of 12 and a trust score of 31 which is impressive. It’s not uncommon for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40. Thus, with a DS of 12, TorrentBytes is still one of the reputed torrent sites on the internet.
