USniff Offers Fast, Multi-Site Torrent Searches
If you're after torrent downloads, chances are you're searching Piratebay, IsoHunt, Mininova, and possibly a few others. Why not save yourself time and effort and search them all in one place?
USniff provides a nicely styled web 2.0 interface for multi-site torrent searches and allows you to query up to eight sites simultaneously. Results load extremely quickly, and I was pleased to see that they sort by number of seeds by default.
It's ajax, so filtering and re-sorting your results is almost instant. The design is totally clean so far, there's not even a single banner ad in sight. You'll still have to click through to the actual tracker, of course, to grab the actual torrents. USniff doesn't host anything...blah blah blah...insert usual torrent search engine disclaimer here.
For anyone looking for multiple options to download that new Ubuntu release (since you're all using torrents for purely legal downloads, of course!), take a gander at USniff.

Well, that's true: Usniff is nice... but I still prefer Pizzatorrent: they even have a search option including btjunkie.org -where you can d'load the last version of OpenOffice's torrent we all search-, and the "Filter" button is lot of usefull for me.
Once again, sorry about my poor english...
Cheers,

Sorry... Usniff also has a "Filter" option... :)

It does look rather pretty--and searches quickly--but there are a few reasons why I will not be switching to it from NowTorrents (which I currently use):
1. Only 8 trackers - NowTorrents has 18.
2. Lack of filtering by type of file; when I'm searching for an album title that turns up a thousand movies (which happened to share keywords) along with it, it's nice to be able to filter music only.
I also found the search bar to be slightly un-obvious. I had to look for a second before I noticed the word search, and the magnifying glass. The bar doesn't really *look* like a search bar to me, which I think is a bit confusing.

Exactly, NowTorrents is far better than this site. More engines, more settings, more options, better layout. Overall a better site. You can also visit http://www.nowtors.com instead of NowTorrents for a shorter domain. Both the same site, do the same thing.
Just my 2c.

You can even add it to the firefox search bar.

The style is a rip of the moo.fx site.

http://search.io/torrents/ is also a great tool to search torrents on multiple sites

Imo nothing beats torrent-finder. Searches an incredible amount of torrent sites and when you download the torrent it adds all the trackers in a single click.

Are there no torrent search engines without the need for JavaScript, other than isohunt.com? There is no way I'm going to allow scripting for one of these rather seedy sites with their intentionally misleading advertisments and who knows what else.
