What is TorZip? TorZip is a utility to help you get around ISP network filters that prevent you from downloading .torrent files. Certain networks have blocks in place that prevent downloading of any file that ends in .torrent, if you try to download such a file the download will never complete. They do this because some ISP's attribute .torrent files with piracy, which is an unfair connection. Using this tool, you can paste the link of the .torrent file in and we will compress it for you so you can download it in .zip form. Chances are your ISP doesn't filter zips. And if they do, maybe you should switch ISP's completely.

Some legal issues? If you feel there may be illegal content on this site, let me know. Every now and then a bad apple will zip up a legal torrent that links to illegal files. If that is the case, shoot me an email (see the contact info) with the URL of the infringing zip and ill remove it for you.
