torrentinky

Torrentinky was a website that functioned as a meta-search engine for torrent files. Its primary purpose was to aggregate results from various other torrent indexing sites, allowing users to search for .torrent files across multiple sources from a single interface. This meant users could potentially find a wider range of files than by searching individual torrent sites.

The website typically displayed search results along with information such as the torrent's name, size, number of seeders and leechers, and a link to the original source. Torrentinky itself did not host any copyrighted content, but rather provided links to files that were shared via the BitTorrent protocol. The use of torrent files and the content shared through them often raises legal and copyright concerns, as many files available via torrents are protected by copyright law.

Like many torrent meta-search engines, Torrentinky operated in a legal grey area. While the site itself did not directly infringe copyright by hosting files, it facilitated the discovery of potentially infringing material. The longevity and operational status of such sites can vary significantly due to legal pressures and the dynamic nature of online content sharing.
