Question
Just curious, as if there’s a better torrent site other than the Pirates Bay and Torrentz2. I feel like these two are real limited and doesn’t have as much to offer as a potential different site. Also, what’s a good one for TV shows and music?

Q&A
try 1337x or torrentgalaxy
on the other hand I will suggest you to get qbittorrent with it's search addons.
I use only qbittorrent for both search and download
just add all the public torrent addons like 1337x, TPB, torrentgalaxy and other. private torrent site addons can be added also, sort out the search as per seeders and you are good to go. No need to open individual sites.
if one site addon is down result from others are still shown.
only one time setting and get the ability to search multiple sites at once within the safe and clean interface of qbittorrent. here is the addon site for qbittorrent.

And then you go further down the rabbit hole with the *arr suite
well for *arr suite this is a great video.

Then go even deeper with Proxmox. I recommend the scripts from this page, helps you setup all the *arr suite in minutes (click on Media Photos)

That link doesn't work. Have an updated one?
https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
YOU CAN DO THAT!!! THAT'S SO AMAZING!!!!!
lemme try
Ok so I added the plug-in (1337x) step by step, but when I search it shows Results (Showing 0 out of 0)
I clicked on Check for updates in the Search Plugins tab, and I can see results from TPB, but 1337x still says no resutls
1337x as a source has serious issues for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Try something else.
Havent used qbittorrent, I’ve be using Utorrent
U torrent is dead. Get qbittorrent
Maybe that’s why these downloads tend to go slow at times because I’m still using Utorrent I’m gonna go ahead and try out qbittorrent
Interesting. I’ll have to try it out. TY
I wasn’t sure if it was compatible with Mac but I guess it is
can you add like all add on?
yes you can but search will get slow to complete and I suggest use the recent one like those which are maintained in past one year for public torrent sites
as for private torrents, add only if you have access to them other wise they are useless to you.
how to get access to private trackers?
read the wiki and faq at r/trackers, sub to r/opensignups
sorry dear no idea for that I don't have access to any of them.
Nice tip!
Sometimes the search plugin gives me issues
which one? what issue?
Like some times I try to get one of the search results with hundreds of seeders and it still won’t process and start downloading. Wasn’t too reliable.
check if that site addon is updated or not.
This is the way
There used to btdig which somehow monitors all the torrents in the network without hosting any, is there something that works in this fashion nowadays?
there is a btdig addon also check that.
I use both of these. They are great
This is the way 😎
I used to use 1337 before I went the usenet way.
+1 for usenet.
What’s Usenet
Wow. Way to make a guy feel old.
Noooooo wasnt trying to make you feel old I just haven’t heard of it before. Lol its not like you said Morpheus, Kazaa, or limewire or something
Usenet predates ALL of those. By decades, if one wants to really dig into it's origins.
LOL. Usenet is the OG precursor to Reddit. Started as forums for exchanging information on topics just like Reddit. Now it's mostly used to house and download files.
FWIW, I started on Usenet, then had to go to torrenting when everything worth getting went to file name obfuscation. Now I'm back to primarily Usenet for stuff via paid indexers. I still use torrenting too, but prefer Usenet.
Nothing. Don't worry about it. It's hard and costs money. Nothing you see here. Move along.
Shhhh. Usenet is still our little secret. I despise torrents and love that I get everything hours before torrents too (at 1gbps down too). But. Shhhhhhh. It's good to be in the shadows.
Yeah when I first got into it and started maxing dl speeds I was blown away.
I went down the Usenet rabbit hole, learned everything about it that I reasonably could, but didn't pull the trigger. I think there's a psychological barrier in that there's no way for me to know what indexer has what that makes me think "I'll never find anything and then I've wasted time AND money"
your top concern is the indexer service? ... then just google "best usenet indexer 2024" or whatever.
heck. I've been using it since before indexers existed, before torrent existed, and I had to index my own feed with Mozilla Thunderbird to manually send download packages to, .... oooo. I don't remember how I downloaded before. But then manually working with all the RAR pieces and PAR2 fixing and blah blah blah. Life is sooo much easier now.
I mean, I did that, but it's difficult to know exactly what is on an Indexer. There is a general lack of transparency (for the sake of privacy) as to their content. So you could purchase something, not knowing what you'll get, and not get what you're looking for. And that is difficult to swallow
‘Our domain is the shadow. Stray from it reluctantly, but when you do, you must strike hard and fade away... Without a trace’

What do you mean you "get everything hours before torrents"? MAYBE if you are referring to public trackers but even then I don't see that being true, as even with public trackers torrents are usually released within minutes of a show or episode being released.
Usenet has for a very long time been the seed for torrents. Why would the person/group capturing just sit there for an hour seeding when they can upload it in seconds and move on. Then a few people pull from Usenet and share in their media library and you have a torrent.
Maybe things have changed. Usenet first, everything else later. Because. Things are faster, more efficient. It just makes sense
> Why would the person/group capturing just sit there for an hour seeding when they can upload it in seconds and move on.
Well in most cases I wouldn't imagine them to "seed for an hour" but instead add it to a seedbox or server dedicated to seeding, and seed for as long as they like, and if needed at a later convenience delete it to get more space to continue seeding.
And when it comes to Private Trackers especially people perma-seed. And you can easily expect Multi-Gig speeds when it comes to PT, at least with newer stuff while old stuff even with 1 or 2 seeds you can still usually expect a gig due to everyone using a seedbox or dedicated server.
I don't know too much about Usenet as I've never personally used it, but do they have dedicated or exclusive releasers? Cuz with torrenting we have many releasers that will release exclusively to a certain Private Tracker (which may eventually be mirrored to other lesser PT's or even public trackers.).
Using usernet for free??
don't you have to pay to use usenet?
Torrentgalaxy or some russian trackers : https://rutracker.org
The Russians always come in handy
Been using bitsearch.to lately - seems comprehensive.
https://1337x.to/
also you should look the megathread https://rentry.co/megathread
r/trackers
I use something called solidtorrent.to
Beware of Ultradox and Coldfilm torrents, they have an annoying logo that moves along the screen border, which, to me, is very distracting. However, Solidtorrent has a pretty decent selection of torrents that you can no longer find at more mainstream torrent sites and search engines.
Thanks I’m going to try that out
Bitsearch.to the guy who made that has created his website with a build in script that checks whether torrents are safe or not and only lists those on the site.
At the time when he posted about it the script had an 99.5 % accuracy rate so ive been using that site for a while now.
Also way better than all those other bloated lame looking pirate sites. Clean nice simple environment. It's like the Google of torrents.
For TV shows, I use EZTV, but they do only TV shows https://eztvx.to/home
I use Torrentz2k but its a torrent search engine.
on the public side of things.. bitsearch, bt4g, magnetdl should do
Thanks
Letmewatchthis for movies and tv
qbittorrent with the search plugin
That’s what I wanted to ask, you just just reminded me. How do I get the search plug-in set up so I can just use qBittorrent?
Google, 1st result is the wiki on setting it up
BTDigg
But be careful.
You can’t give me an option and then say “be careful”without giving me any type of context lol
my sweet child
what a helpful reply
When's the last time you used torrentz2? Site is all fake links
Today, its usually works for me
Photoshop is currently on version 23.5.5.
https://torrentz2.nz/search?q=photoshop First link:
with 2k seeders. Followed by 5 more torrents with 1k+ seeders, 3 of which for versions that don't exist yet (v28 lmao).
Site's a honeypot. Even if other stuff is legit I wouldn't use it even with a vpn.
Yeah I wouldn’t trust any of that without a VPN. I usually use Torrentz2it when I can’t find the media I’m looking for on qbittorent, sometimes qBittorent doesn’t always have what I’m looking for so I usually find it on Torrentz2 or the pirates Bay sometimes I’ll go to yify
Rarbg for 4k movies and TV shows
Rarbg is gone
Ox torrent ygg torrent 1377x but warez hate them xD you can use cpasbien yts or googe.com and seach name file + torrent
Shiver me timbers! ➜ u/BketQc, "1377" is the wrong URL:
Check your device for malware if you downloaded anything from there.
The likelihood of its downloads being malicious is quite high.
The correct URL is actually https://1337x.to, and NOT 1377x.to.

See if you have any friends with invites to a private torrent site.

I'm fond of eztv for tv stuff. Haven't bothered too much with music lately because of the pmedia pollution though.
I use a private site TorrentDay. Have used almost exvlusively for 11 years and really like it for movies and tv shows.
