ExtraTorrent was a popular online torrent tracker and repository that allowed users to search, download, and share torrent files. The site was launched in 2005 and gained a significant following over the years. However, it faced numerous shutdowns, lawsuits, and controversies due to copyright infringement concerns.

ExtraTorrent has faced several shutdowns, and its official website has been blocked in various countries due to copyright complaints. However, some mirror sites and proxies have attempted to revive the service.

If you are looking for content previously found on ExtraTorrents, it is safer and more effective to search for that content on these active living sites rather than hunting for dead ExtraTorrent mirrors.
