Mininova hits 3 billionth download

In just another sign that P2P file sharing is not going away anytime soon, the very popular torrent site Mininova has reached its 3 billionth download with hopes that it will reach 4 billion before the year is up.

Traffic tracking sites have shown that the site has 3 million daily visitors and over 10 million torrents are downloaded each day. The site continues to show tremendous growth since its launch three years ago.



Because there are legal loopholes that .torrent files nicely fit, sites such as Mininova continue to thrive. Such large companies as Ask.com, eHarmony, and Howard Johnson hotels even have advertising on the site currently despite the blatant illegal file sharing that happens because of the site.
