The site lets you choose from a list of 25 BitTorrent trackers that you want to search. Enter your search term, and you'll start to find results from those pages. But unlike YouTorrent, which combines the results from each site onto one easy to use page, LOOKTorrent basically takes you to Mininova, The Pirate Bay, or whatever other sites you choose, while keeping a LOOKTorrent navigation tab at the top of the screen. If you don't find what you're looking for at one site, you can search the next. One at a time.
LOOKtorrent could come in handy if you can't find what you're looking for on one site, and need a good list of 25 BitTorrent trackers. But if you want all of your results on one page, you're probably better off with NowTorrents, ScrapeTorrent, or PizzaTorrent.

Any person using a tabbed browser should realize just how much time this does not save you. Go to ScrapeTorrent (which I will defend over and over as the top of these types of engines) and search something, middle click (or CMD+Click in my case) on the first 10 good looking links and go through the tabs. It's ridiculously simple and unobtrusive. No need for the ability to go to the next result through a nav bar at the top.

Agreeing with you on Scrapetorrent. I really haven't yet thought of any problem with it

@burnblue:
That's because there is no problem. The only real reason why YouTorrent got so big, so fast is because it was more pleasing to the eye. A decent GUI isn't something that should be used as an excuse for poor user friendliness

Look torrent may help us find what we are looking for, but imho, scrape torrent is much, much better. I totally agree with josh, youtorrent got big only because of its attractive looks. Abhishek http://www.dibugs.com
