When the clone site launched some quite understandably felt that it was unfairly trading on ’s image, not to mention their hard work. While it’s certainly likely that millions of users are now happy at having a familiar looking site to frequent, the same can not be said about people who worked on the original isoHunt. In a couple of days we’ll be rolling out another pack of features we’ve done since Christmas. We do lots of stuff to keep users happy and improve the site constantly. But there’s a lot of new traffic as well. “Of course, many people are looking for ‘isohunt’ and that drives them to us.

From a standing start the site became the Internet’s 8th most popular torrent site, slotting in just behind in the overall top 10. Just two months later at the end of 2013, isoHunt.to was making serious waves.

When popular torrent site shutdown on October 17, 2013, it marked the end of an era.
