What is TorrentRover?

TorrentRover is a torrent downloader and search manager that helps you download your favorite music, movies, TV shows, applications, and more. In short, you can search, manage, and download torrent files right from your desktop.

TorrentRover has many unique features that make it superior to the average torrent site and other desktop search apps:

How Does It Work?

When you start TorrentRover for the first time, you will see the Quick Start video. You should watch it. It'll introduce you to all the basic features and get you started off right.

Here's the Quick Start video:

The user interface of TorrentRover is very simple, even for beginners. Just follow these steps to find the torrent files you're looking for:

  1. Search torrent files by typing your search in the textbox on the upper right hand side of the main window.
  2. Select a category from the drop down list next to the search box. Any/All will search all categories.
  3. Press "Go" or hit the Enter key.
  4. Results will be displayed in the lower panel of the window.
  5. Double click on a result to download the torrent file.

If you're not sure which result to download, TorrentRover assigns points to each result based on how good it is. More points = better torrent. You can also view details for any torrent by right clicking it and selecting "View Torrent(s) Details". You'll be able to see the category, age, size, files, trackers, and user comments.

Main menu

File: The file menu contains options to create a new TorrentRover file, open an existing TorrentRover file, open and merge TorrentRover file(s) with the current file, save a TorrentRover file, and export a TorrentRover file, which is similar to save but also has options to clean up the file to make it better for sharing with someone.
