Torrentz is a torrent meta-search engine that searches for torrents from various major torrent sites like Mininova, Demonoid, and The Pirate Bay. It offers compilations of various trackers per torrent that are not necessarily present in the default .torrent file so when a tracker is down, other trackers can do the work. However, some of the torrent download links (predominantly those with obscure names) lead to fake download sites which may be high-risk to the user's computer.Fact|date=September 2008
