VerTor | How to Find and Avoid Fake Torrents?
Torrents are a life line for sharing stuff over the internet. We use it each day to download free stuff. Regardless to our usage of torrents there are situations, where you do not know for certain that the torrent you are about to download is real or fake?
You can’t be sure about it until and unless you download the whole file just to find that the torrent that took 5 hours or more of your downloading time was a fake! Similarly torrents, specially those containing softwares or .exe files e.g cracks etc may harm your computer.
So what necessary steps should be taken to save your system from such an incident? Surprisingly you don’t have to do any thing about it. VerTor that stands for ‘Verified Torrents‘ is a very useful web service providing you all the necessary help and information to download a particular torrent.
This web service constantly checks for recently added torrents from a lot of popular sites such as Demonoid, btjunkie, Piratebay to name a few. It takes all the new torrent files added to the above mentioned sites and checks them against new viruses, malware, spywares that may put your computer at risk.
The best part about this is that it takes out all the information, including screen shots so that when you are about to download it, you are 100% satisfied that downloading this file or video in particular will result in the actual video. In case you find no screen shot, this means that the torrent is not real and is immediately removed from the data base.
The only downside to this is that it takes plenty of time, especially for new torrents that might take a day or two to appear. The service has a lot of potential because many users are not aware about how to spot the fake stuff.
If you are a regular user of torrents then you should try this service out! Let us know what you think about this service in the comment section below.
