I think it is because Bits and Bytes are common words in torrent world... like seed, leech, tracker,file, Scene and so on....

I am more wonder to those tracker names like e**go, Nordic, T**rs, Oink and etc... Why they come up with those names..:D

Well when you download/upload your actually exchanging bits and bytes with other users so maybe thats why they like those names so much in their addresses.

I think once one site users a specific word and other people see it used and think its a cool site they often try and use the same word to make their sites seem cool like the other sites as well ;)

I personally like the sites that come up with their own original names.
