I shared a 2006 comparison of the top ten BitTorrent sites where BTJunkie was ranked first. However, personal testing and reader feedback led me to question the accuracy of the rankings compared to sites like TorrentSpy.
I compiled this round-up of BitTorrent guides from Lifehacker, covering everything from setting up Azureus and automating TV show downloads to improving speed, ensuring anonymity through encryption, and finding legal public domain movies.
I created an interactive quiz where you identify 2000s Hindi movies based on their background music. Test your Bollywood knowledge against these ten clips; I even encrypted the answers to keep the challenge fair.
I created an interactive quiz featuring lyrics from ten 2000s Tamil songs. Test your movie knowledge by guessing the film titles from these middle-of-the-song snippets. Just type the names to see if you get them right!
I curated a quiz featuring short clips of Ilayaraja’s background music from his 1980s hits. Can you identify the movies they belong to? Just type the name phonetically to see if you can score a perfect ten.
I built a Perl script to filter hundreds of resumes using keywords and concordance analysis. This process convinced me that candidates must optimize their CVs for machine searching, treating resume writing like search engine optimization.

Not convinced with the comparison. Looks like the chappie Renald is just using to blog to promote BTJunkie. Checked the features of BTJunkie, they are nowhere close to Torrentspy, yet it gets a rating of 9. No way anyone can confirm BTJunkies claims like Torrents Indexed, Torrents Added Daily etc. Neither does the author specify how he confirmed these points.
“At first I thought BTJunkie’s numbers must be fake, but I assure you it is real! I tested the number posted with the number in the actual directory for the day and they matched for a week straight!”
Yeah, sure!

Does sound like a plug, doesn’t it? :-) I’m planning to do a test myself. Why don’t you try one too?

A solid rebuttal. I tried BTJunkie last week. Wasn’t very impressed. And the few movies I couldn’t find anywhere else, I couldn’t find here either.
