A little about Torrents first

Torrents are a unique form of file sharing. Whereas most services require users to upload files to a central database, torrents enable people to share things directly from their PCs. As others download the files to their own computers, the torrent network expands. If only one person has the files associated with a torrent, everything will be downloaded from his computer. When two people possess the files associated with a torrent, bits and pieces will be taken from both of them to form the completed files at the other end of a new download. The brilliance of torrent networks is that so little is taken from each individual that it doesn't put any strain on anyone’s connection.


State of Torrent 'search' or 'browsing' apps on Android platform

I have been using Torrents for over six years now. I got to use a lot of excellent Torrent search or browsing apps from Play Store. The simple interface and features of these apps made me prefer using Torrent apps over websites.
In recent times copyright authorities have been pushing Google to suspend Torrent apps from Play Store. As a result Play Store now has a handful of Torrent apps. If these apps show potential there is no doubt that they will be taken down soon. This has deprived us (Android platform and Torrent users) of good Torrent apps.

I have found an excellent Torrent app for us

After months for surfing the deep oceans of Internet I can confidently say that Torrent Finder Free (by developer going by the name Sherlock Homes) is the best.

What makes Torrent Finder app so good?

1) In recent times ISP's are doing all they can to block customers from accessing Torrent sites. Ask people living in United Kingdom.
Torrent Finder carries out a through analysis of user's Internet connection to find out a proxy which is accessible to the user. Making sure that you always get access to Torrents.

2) The app lets users browse and search for Torrents in two of the best Torrent sites on the Internet

  • The Pirate Bay
  • Kickass Torrents

    Different Torrent sites accessible through the app
Note: Since Torrent site Fenopy has been shut down, the app no longer provides Torrent access from same.

3) Users can browse through 'Top' or 'Featured' Torrent in different categories.

4) It also helps us search for a Torrent by its name. Users can Filter and/or Sort the search results to get more specific results.

  • Movie trailers
  • Movie screen shots

  • and on and on and on
