Kickass Torrents (KAT) might have actually already came back but only as another domain and one of the alternatives or mirrors next to The Pirate Bay (TPB) and Extra Torrent that receives more traffic.



While the alleged owner Artem Vaulin is currently facing the legal charges of the United States government, he hinted that the site could still be working behind the scenes. The torrent site could be one of the many KAT mirrors and alternatives that suddenly sprung up after the main Kickass Torrent site has been shut down.




KAT domains that still remain active do not have useful torrents at all but there could be a time that it will rise again to topple TPB and the up and rising Extra Torrent site, Gamenguide has learned. The Pirate Bay has risen again to the top as the King of Torrents after they celebrated their anniversary.



Users can still search for KAT alternatives but they might just see the mirrors and clones that are reportedly scamming people into entering their credit card details. Kickass Torrent mirrors should be avoided as much as possible and users are better off using Extra Torrent and The Pirate Bay.



There were also several rumors of TPB shutting down but The Pirate Bay is still up and running for those who want to search for torrents, Christian Times reported. Extra Torrent can also be a good Kickass Torrent alternative as it is also free and web traffic has recently surged up for the site.



Torrentz has voluntarily shut down as well, leaving millions of users stranded for alternatives. There have been Torrentz clones that also rose up after the take down but they are still no match for the original nor the KAT mirrors which now contain Suicide Squad torrents and the new Sausage Party movie starring Seth Rogen.



Kickass Torrents has provided a good service to all pirates and it could still be living on through KAT mirrors and alternatives. The Pirate Bay is now the king once again as TPB still houses the best torrents next to Extra Torrent which can also be a good site for piracy.
