This would pick the first two character from an md5 hash ( 00 – ff , 256 subdirectories) to generate the subdirectory.

The Best Working Torrent Indexes

Torrent search sites tend to get taken down regularly. Here are some working torrent indexes:

  • https://1337x.to (also https://1337x.is/) — another good all-round index
  • LimeTorrents — good all-round index
  • http://www.yts.am/ — specializes in HD movies that have small file sizes
  • https://thepiratebay3.org/ — this classic index is still available
  • https://torlock.com — specializes in anime and ebooks
  • https://www.torrentdownloads.me — good index
  • https://rarbg.to — good index but has captchas — blocked in Bulgaria, Denmark, Portugal, and the UK

Saving torrents on a torrent index site

I’m building a torrent site where users can upload torrents. What would be a good way to save the .torrent files? I can think of several options: Saving the torrent file itself in a folder on the server (not the best option since OS’s have limitations saving lots of files in 1 folder) Saving the torrent file itself in different folders per month Saving the contents of the torrent file in the database (any limitations / performance issues / any other caveats?) Any other options?

If you’re concerned about having too much files within a directory, you need to distribute the files across multiple directories. Storing them by month, day or week is one way how to do so. It depends a bit how many files you really have I would say.

You can try to more or less equally distribute the files within subdirectories by hashing their filename and use the whole or part of the hash to generate one or multiple subdirectory names:

$hash = md5($fileName); $srotePath = sprintf('%s/%s', substr($hash,0,2), $fileName); 

This would pick the first two character from an md5 hash ( 00 – ff , 256 subdirectories) to generate the subdirectory.

The benefit compared with a date is, that you always can find out in which directory a file is stored when you have it’s name.

That does also mean, that you can not have duplicate files with the same name (which might have worked for the date based subfolder).
