What It Is
Hottorrent (hottorrent.org) is a torrent site.
Discussion
The homepage of hottorrent.org looked like a porn tube site rather than a torrent site: there were porn video thumbnails, each with details about the videos featured on top of them. All thumbnails on the homepage were related to porn videos—is that the “hot” in hot torrent? However, when I clicked on a thumbnail, it opened a single post where the file for the video could be downloaded. The single post page on hottorrent.org did look like a standard torrent site. The single post reminded me of ThePirateBay and other well-known torrent sites; however, I found it very difficult to find the download link on hottorrent.org for the torrent file and I don’t have issues on leading torrent sites. For instance, I find the download button very easily on ThePirateBay.
