How it works

1. 01

   You type a query

   It stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, because there isn't one.

2. 02

   XTORX builds the links

   The same words are encoded the way each of the 19 indexes expects them in its own search URL.

3. 03

   You pick where to look

   Open any index in a new tab, with no referrer attached, and compare what each one has.

Questions

What is XTORX?

XTORX is a torrent meta-search engine. You type a query once and it hands you a page of direct links into the search pages of the major public torrent indexes, so you can compare them without retyping the same words in each one.

Does XTORX host torrents?

No. XTORX stores no torrent files, no magnet links and no index of its own, and it runs no tracker. Every result is a link to a third-party website's own search page, built in your browser from the words you typed.

Does XTORX track me?

No. There are no analytics, no advertising scripts and no cookies. The site is a set of static files. Recent searches are kept in your own browser's local storage and never leave the device, and outbound links are sent without a referrer, so the indexes are not told what you searched here.

Is using XTORX legal?

Searching is. What you then download is governed by the law where you live and by the licence of the material. XTORX puts open-content archives such as the Internet Archive, Academic Torrents and Linux Tracker first for exactly this reason.
