http://torrent-finder.info/

Legaltorrents.com distributed 90 terabytes of Creative Commons-licensed content in the last seven months alone. The site features lots of music downloads, but also has some good video content like the South African TV show Go Open and the Firefly-Documentary Done The Impossible. All the files are centrally seeded, so your downloads will always have a happy ending.

Public Domain Torrents features hundreds of Torrents from out-of-copyright films in numerous formats. Unfortunately there is no central seeding, so you better stick to the recently posted items.

Legit Torrents is a new site that aggregates freely available Torrents, including video, games and Linux distributions.

Bittorrent has taken a beating for its recently launched download store, but the site still offers lots of freely downloadable content as well. Unfortunately the free stuff gets buried under the rentals and sales, which are for some reason deemed more “relevant.”

SXSW.com features music and video downloads to promote the South by Southwest festival. This year’s film trailers aren’t up yet, but there’s 3 gigabytes of MP3 music to get an idea of what’s gonna go down in Austin this March.

Speaking of music: Etree is hosting live recordings of bootleg-friendly artists in the lossless FLAC audio format.

The soon-to-be-relaunched Azureus home base Zudeo offers a mix of music videos, user-generated content, professionally produced movies and short films. Worth a look because of its extensive list of fan films and HD content. All downloads are centrally seeded.

Torrentfreak is known for its up-to-date coverage of the BitTorrent scene, but the site also operates an own tracker and regularly features legal downloads like the official Bittorrent release of the movie The Corporation.

Revision3.com is technically not a Torrent site, but the online video network utilizes BitTorrent like few others. Every episode page features a multitude of Torrent links, and you can subscribe to each show with an RSS-Feed including proper Torrent enclosures.

Finally, no list of legal Torrent platforms would be complete without a Linux ISO site like Linuxtracker.com. Advocates of the free operating system have been using BitTorrent for a long time to spread the latest releases of their preferred distribution. Linuxtracker lists all major flavors of Linux, including video-specific releases like the open source DVR system KnoppMyth and the multimedia production platform 64 Studio.

Ten Sites For Free And Legal Torrents. Unfortunately, a few of the sites mentioned in our original post have since folded, but others have come up to replace them, which is why we decided to update our list of legal torrent goodness with new links and additional information.

Mininova used to be one of the biggest torrent directories on the Internet until it was forced to shut down all unauthorized content due to a copyright infringement lawsuit late last year. However, Mininova is still serving access to close to 10,000 legitimate torrents, including HD space mission footage from NASA, documentaries from public broadcasters and user-generated animation shorts. Mininova still clocks about 300,000 downloads per day.

Legaltorrents.com, which will soon rebrand as Clearbits.net, offers access to around a thousand torrents, ranging from indie movies to podcasts to documentaries, as well as a ton of music. Legaltorrents told us that they’re currently facilitating the download of 10-20 Terabytes of content per month. All files are centrally seeded, so your torrent client won’t idle out on you.

Limecast is a podcast directory operated by the makers of Limewire. Users can opt to stream or download clips right within their browser, or access torrent files for episodes of popular podcasts like GeekBrief.TV, Diggnation or the Ricky Gervais Podcast. Not all the feeds seem to be up to date, but the site is still pretty neat.

Legit Torrents is aggregating legally available torrents from various sources, with the content including the NIN concert DVD Another Version of the Truth and the Michael Moore film Slacker Uprising.

The Miro Guide is a content repository for the open source video player Miro, which comes with a built-in BitTorrent client. Some of the content included in the Miro Guide, like TorrentFreak TV, is distributed via BitTorrent, but you’ll still need Miro to download the files.

Public Domain Torrents is a slightly older site with the occasional database error, but that only seems to be fitting for the subject matter. The site features hundreds of torrents for movies with expired copyright. In other words: Pretty old stuff. Or classics, depending on your point of view.

YouTorrent is a search engine that aims to only index authorized content available through various BitTorrent sites, and it claims to currently index more than 80,000 torrents.

Jamendo is a music site offering access to more than 30,000 Creative Commons-licensed albums. All music is available for free via direct download and BitTorrent.

Gameupdates.org features a few thousand torrents specifically tailored towards the gaming community, but we’re not just talking patches and demo relases: The site also offers access to a few hundred trailers, previews and in some cases even full-featured films promoting games like Grand Theft Auto IV, Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

LinuxTracker finally does what it says: It tracks Linux distributions, making it possible to download all major flavors of Linux as well as quite a few lesser-known distributions.

I think that there is no tracker
doesn't contain a single illegal torrent.
But there are some trackers could be
(considered) as legal ones.

And this is a list of them:

1. Mininova.org
Mininova.org, the site soon became one of the largest torrent sites, and more than 5 billion torrent files were downloaded from the site since it launched. May 2008, the Dutch anti-piracy organization BREIN announced a lawsuit against Mininova. However, Mininova.org only allows freely available content. Meaning, it only allows legal content. Mininova, like Azureus, is a BitTorrent client. You can upload all kinds of files, providing they are not licensed and family-safe, and others can download from you. Those who download torrents – including yourself – are called “leechers.” Your original files are called “seeds,” and you can search and download files from others.

2. YouTorrent
YouTorrent is a meta-search that can find verified torrents across a number of popular torrent sites, including Jamendo, Vuze, BitTorrent, Legaltorrents, Legittorrents, Gameupdates, Wortharchiving, BT.etree and Mininova’s featured torrents section. With all those sites combined, you can use YouTorrent to search over 6TB of data. As a meta-search engine YouTorrent doesn’t discriminate against legal and pirated content (yes, there is legal content on BitTorrent) so it’s a case of anything goes, and this is both a strength and a weakness.

3. Clearbits
This site was previously called as ‘LegalTorrents’ and is now functioning with the name ‘Clearbits’. You can become a member with Clearbits.net for free, there’s also a premium account where you get to sponsor them and enjoy additional features. In case you want to download music and movies in a legal way, Clear Bits could be of your interest. This company provides hosting and distribution for open licensed media, ranging from music albums to graphic novels. You just have to join ClearBits.net to start downloading all their content. You can find movies, games, and music, among other digital media content.

4. Legit Torrents
Legit Torrents is a torrent tracker for only legal torrents. There are thousands of illegal torrent sites out there, but only a handful of websites that deal with legal torrenting. content including the NIN concert DVD Another Version of the Truth and the Michael Moore film Slacker Uprising

5. BitLet
BitLet, abbreviation for BitTorrent Applet, is a BitTorrent program that enables the use of this file sharing protocol inside any Java-enabled web browser, without the need of an external dedicated client program. BitLet makes it easy for users to use torrent files. Users can download by entering the torrent metafile URL. Users can also select from music, video and uploads. Music torrent files must contain MP3s or ogg vorbis. A video feature is included but it is considered experimental at this stage. The addition of an updated player that uses HTML 5 is available. Users can also install the BitLet bookmarklet. This feature allows the user to directly download through BitLet when browsing torrent search engines.

6. Torrent Root:
Torrent Root: saves you time by searching multiple sites at one time. It will also allow you to find quicker downloads! Once you have found the desired file on the torrent site, click the “Download This Torrent” (or however they word it). Usually, the web browser’s file download manager will ask what to do with this file. You want to open the file with your torrent program.
If it doesn’t open that way, just save the .torrent file to an easy to locate place. Then open your torrent client and use the “Open Torrent” feature(Most torrent clients support click & drag). The download will start automatically.downloads!

7 FrostWire
FrostWire is in short, a cut-back version of LimeWire, the popular P2P Gnutella client With this application you can download all types of contents such as music, videos, images, software, digital books and many other things in a simple and efficient way. Its engine is very powerful and it gives you the chance to perform precise and personalized searches. The interface of FrostWire is very intuitive and understandable. For that reason, it does not matter if you are a beginner user: with just a little practice you will handle the programme as if you had used it for a long time.

8. BiteNova
BiteNova (formerly known as “Bi-Torrents”, BiteNova is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.) Download torrents safe and easy from BiteNova using Torrent Toolbar. The toolbar enables you to search and download all the latest and most popular torrents from BiteNova
