Millions of torrents, thousands of places to look for them...What's a wayfarin' buccaneer to do? Why, search a whole pile of places at the same time, of course. After all, you're more likely to find gold with seven maps to the same pot than you are with just one.
Enough of the played-out pirate jargon already, on to the sites!
Simultaneous Searching
NowTorrents. Searches up to twelve sites at once. I like the file type tabs and health indicator, and they offer a Firefox and IE compatible search plugin.
uSniff. I wrote about uSniff before, and I use it quite often. I don't really search a lot of different sites, usually just Pirate Bay and IsoHunt, and they're both supported (along with six others). The interface is clean and responds quickly - the search box throws some people off, though. I don't understand why, it's giant, orange, and says "search" on it. They also have a search plugin for IE and Firefox.
ScrapeTorrent. Offers a nice preference page and searches nine sites at once. Piratebay, IsoHunt, Mininova, and Demonoid are included, and they're my go-to sites anyways. I approve!
Speckly. I hate the way it displays results: gobs and gobs of text, Google style, and all on one page. There aren't any sorting options, though you can at least view by file type.
Torrentz. Technically it searches multiple sites, but you'll get a general results page first. Clicking one of the results will take you to a listing of all the individual torrents. I find it an annoying process, and don't use Torrentz as a result.
Manual Multi-Site Searching (Radio buttons and whatnot)
Torrent Pond / ActiveDots. 22 search options for you to search one at a time. I suppose it beats visiting all the sites individually. Way back when, this was my multi-site search of choice.
Torrent Finder. Ok, this one is just ridiculous. Do you really want to spend your time searching 156 torrent sites? There's what, a half dozen or so that are really, really good? I'm not a fan of this behemoth, but it scores some points for being exhaustive.
You know where to find them, now fire up your favorite client and start downloading some torrents!
