Torrents.csv

Torrents.csv is a collaborative, vetted repository of torrents, consisting of a single, searchable torrents.csv file. Its initially populated with a January 2017 backup of the pirate bay, and new torrents are periodically added from various torrents sites via a rust script.

Torrents.csv will only store torrents with at least one seeder to keep the file small, and will be periodically purged of non-seeded torrents, and sorted by seeders descending.

It also comes with a self-hostable Torrents.csv webserver
