This is also a very well known Torrent search engine. According to their site, Mininova “is the largest torrent search engine and directory on the net. Visitors of Mininova can anonymously upload torrents to this website, tracked by any BitTorrent tracker.
Mininova became legal by the court ruling, that forced the removal of all illegal torrents, so the site has stopped working as an illegal torrent tracker, and will not be able to download any more things which are pirated.
But Mininova will still operate in the content distribution network that enables independent artists, or people who want to share things with people, that don’t pay anything, all legal.
