YouTorrent goes legit, boring, and up for sale
BitTorrent search engine YouTorrent is for sale, according to TorrentFreak. The news isn't particularly surprising. YouTorrent has become quite popular over the last few months, but for some reason the owners have yet to put advertisements on the site, so it doesn't appear to be making any money. At the same time YouTorrent gets over 10 million visitors per month, which has got to be hell on the company's bandwidth bill.We'd say YouTorrent shouldn't have a hard time attracting a buyer with a good monetization plan. But YouTorrent kind of shot themselves in the foot on their way to the auction block. The company has removed the majority of BitTorrent trackers from its index, which means you can now only search 100% free and legal torrent sites like Vuze, BitTorrent, and LegalTorrents. In other words, you won't find any cracked software, or illegal music or movie downloads. Sure, the move will help the service avoid lawsuits, but it will probably dramatically reduce YouTorrent's user base as well, which could make the site a heck of a lot less valuable.
If you're looking for a good YouTorrent clone that doesn't suck, check out NowTorrents or PizzaTorrent.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
