BTDigg is the first Mainline DHT search engine.[2][3][4] It participated in the BitTorrent DHT network, supporting the network and making correspondence between magnet links and a few torrent attributes (name, size, list of files) which are indexed and inserted into a database. For end users, BTDigg provides a full-text database search via a Web interface. The Web part of its search system retrieved proper information by a user's text query. The Web search supported queries in European and Asian languages. The project name was an acronym of BitTorrent Digger (in this context, digger means treasure-hunter).[5] It went offline in June 2016, reportedly due to index spam.[6][7] However in 2024 it appears to be back online but due to IP Filtering. A lot of IP Addresses cannot access btdig.com but they can access the tor link due to how tor works.
