That's it Kickass Torrents, one of the biggest websites torrent sites to the world, has announced that it has acquired a .onion URL, meaning the site also operates on the Dark Web as a backup to the main service.
Although it does not follow its turbulent course Pirate bay which to this day continues to change domains constantly, the webmasters thought to ensure their presence on the web.
Pirate Bay already has a onion address (uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion) so Kickass Torrents followed with its own: lsuzvpko6w6hzpnn.onion.
For those who don't know let's mention that .onion links can only be accessed through the program browsing Tor. Tor websites exist on Tor's “secure and anonymous network”.
The classic Kickass Torrents URL will continue to work even if you have access through the Tor browser.
The .onion URL is more of one domain backup, in case the normal URLs are lost either due to the loss of a domain, after a complaint from a copyright holder company, or due to a failure of the conventional server. Admins don't expect crazy traffic on the .onion URL.
