Mininova hits 3 billionth download

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 03 Nov 2007 7:06 User comments (9)

In just another sign that P2P file sharing is not going away anytime soon, the very popular torrent site Mininova has reached its 3 billionth download with hopes that it will reach 4 billion before the year is up.

Traffic tracking sites have shown that the site has 3 million daily visitors and over 10 million torrents are downloaded each day. The site continues to show tremendous growth since its launch three years ago.

Because there are legal loopholes that .torrent files nicely fit, sites such as Mininova continue to thrive. Such large companies as Ask.com, eHarmony, and Howard Johnson hotels even have advertising on the site currently despite the blatant illegal file sharing that happens because of the site.

I wonder what the 3 billionth download was?

I know I will do my part in helping Mininova reach 4 billion by the end of the year!

This is the torrent site to be at for whatever you want. I love this site and is part of my daily ritual to visit Ad, Mininova and Facebook these are my main three sites. Well done Mininova.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
