VERTOR - Verified Torrents - Torrent Revolution

"Forget everything you've known before and get ready to discover all the benefits of bittorrent protocol! There have been lots of attempts to discredit the protocol and get money from users lately by uploading tons of low quality torrents. Any torrent file you've downloaded might have been fake, virus-infected, DRM-encrypted or password-protected. That led fast and easy-to-use bittorrent protocol to lose its advantages. Users had to spend their precious time to find a good quality torrent file and download its contents and it really got on their nerves.", is what the makers of Vertor.com have to say.

I tried it and it is indeed great. It is really doing what is says though a little late. I guess by the time it comes out of its nascent stage it would have developed completely. It is still in its new stage and not completely ok. For the time being virus-detection is not working and they are working on this. Well, you can understand for such a big thing as this it really needs time for all things.

The stats so far are already impressive.

• Torrents processed – 488000
• Download errors – 283656
• Verified torrents – 154476
• Infected torrents – 3851
• Password protected – 6443
• Blocked by moderators – 15529

And this is what they say and is their USP.

We get a torrent file and put it on our server for download. If the download doesn't start after a series of attempts we mark it as "download error" and do not place it in the overall database. If the download has completed successfully we check contents of the file and post the information about the torrent file and its contents:

• If there is an archive in a torrent file, we decompress it and make a filelist. If there is an error in the process, we mark the file "protected" and do not not place it in the overall database.
• If there is a video file in a torrent, we make screenshots of it. If the video is protected by DRM, screenshots will be blank.
• If there is an audio file in a torrent, we cut out small pieces of it for users to make sure the file has prescribed qualities.
• If there is a text discription in a torrent file, we save it so users can read it before downloading.
