BitDig.com - Digg-like Torrent Search Engine

Who doesn’t like to download torrents? They’re a huge industry, despite the possibly illegal nature of a vast majority of files. Given their popularity, there are a number of sites dedicated to indexing and categorizing torrents so that users can find them easily. One such service is newcomer BitDig. BitDig is something of a cross between Digg and a torrent search engine such as Torrentz. It tracks the most popular and biggest torrent sites to bring users the best of the files they want. Users can vote for their favorite torrent download and download them from their favored bittorrent client. Popular search terms are showcased as a tag cloud on the homepage. Below that you’ll find the top torrents by popular vote. You can browse by category, e.g. anime, books, games, movies and adult, or you can use the search bar or tag cloud. BitDig is free for all users.

“Welcome to Bitdig.com, largest digg like torrent search engine and torrent download indexer. Here you have chance to download your favorite torrent from your favorite site. We track all the best and biggest torrent sites and bring you compared torrent downloads in torrent categories.”

BitDig combines virtues of community input via voting with a torrent search engine. It’s precisely the sort of thing consumers want. They want to know what torrents are worth downloading; most search sites don’t give users help in that area, but BitDig does. It’s easy to use, and registration isn’t required.

Given the vastness of the bittorrent search market, how will users find out about this relative newbie? How are the votes processed? Do they give a fair picture of the top downloads?
