I own this website, so obviously Im gonna say I trust it. (lol). However, I want to describe my personal experience as a visitor and coder. The website has a few adverts, but you can bypass them by getting a free account. Our site doesn't record any IP addresses, but that doesn't mean you can do anything you want on it. It remains a torrent site and governments and private companies might want to go after you if you illegally download a file. We as a site work with them and delete copyright infringing files all the time, but again, as we have no information on the uploaders, we don't help these companies/governments any further with tracking down the visitors. We know we offer adult content via the website, but the site itself doesn't have any adult content. Just like Google is safe for kids, but can lead you to sites that are unsafe for kids. That's why we feel this site is safe for children. We do our best to offer you the best torrent search engine on the web.

Routes you to a known listed untrusted site...

Sigh. Torrentfunk doesn't "route" you to any untrusted sites. The site offers torrent files, and if you search for a torrent and click on "Download Torrent", you will get the torrent file. The only thing that might have happened is that you might have clicked on an advertisement. We have ads on our website to keep the website running. Sometimes an advert might end up on a site with a reputation lower than ours, but that's not our fault.
This site was once good but now they are sending people who click on a link to a dangerous website. This type of activity indicates that you are at a phishing site, at the very least. The links are active if you are not signed in as a member. I have been a member for a while and I am disappointed by the slippery slope this site has clearly gone down and has chosen to put peoples PCs in harms way. Please boycott them they need to be stopped.

We are sorry to hear you haven't had a great experience on our website. As a member of Torrentfunk, you might have noticed that we don't show any adverts to our members. For non-members, we have a few non-intrusive adverts that can lead to sites with a lower reputation than ours. However, neither our site nor their sites have malware or viruses. We also don't do phishing nor scam people on TorrentFunk. (Hell, you don't even have to give us your details. You can just download and go for free, as we don't even keep your IP number!)
A really useful platform to share torrent files on.

Thanks. We agree.
Full of illegal downloads, and your IP address is always recorded for clawback penalties when legislation outlaws this, and it will be retrospective, so be WARNED!

A small nuance to your message. In most countries, your IP is logged so your own government can keep track of what sites you are visiting. We however as TorrentFunk do NOT record IP addresses. We never did nor never will. Please don't spread lies.
Huge Torrent.

I put a bad score for Child Safety because while the site is wonderful, You are able to download adult content such as pornographic films just as easy as anything else on the site.
