Torrentz was a Finland-based metasearch engine for BitTorrent, run by an individual known as Flippy[2] and founded on 24 July 2003.[3] It indexed torrents from various major torrent websites and offered compilations of various trackers per torrent that were not necessarily present in the default .torrent file, so that when a tracker was down, other trackers could do the work. It was the second most popular torrent website in 2012.[4]
