Is torrage.info legit or a scam?
Established torrent-cache service flagged by security scanners for legal concerns around torrent hosting, not financial fraud.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
Torrage.info is a functional, open-source torrent-caching service registered in 2015 and actively maintained. The domain is 11 years old, hosted on legitimate infrastructure (Cloudflare), and has valid SSL. However, independent security aggregators assign it low trust scores (GridinSoft 30/100, independent review aggregator flagged as suspicious) because the site's core function—caching and serving torrent files—exists in a legally ambiguous space where many torrents point to copyrighted content. One antivirus engine (CRDF) flagged it as malicious, likely for the same reason. The site explicitly disclaims responsibility for torrent content and does not log user data. Reddit discussions and torrent directories reference it positively as a successor to the original torrage.com. No evidence of phishing, credential theft, or financial scams was found; the low reputation scores reflect the site's purpose, not deceptive practices.
