I used to use thepiratebay.org, but recently it seems the quality of the site has degraded.
I sometimes also use 1337xx.to , but that site seems to have a very small selection.
Note that I couldn’t find an answer to this question in the wiki + meathread, so if the answer is already there, please direct my attention to it 🙏🏴☠️

I just have a bunch of search addons for different sites directly in qBittorrent. I haven’t made a website search for a long time.
How does this work?
the plugins are already built-in in the standard installation, you just have to enable them before first use and that is it. after that you just use the search box.
Sometimes you have to open the plugin thing on the search tab and click “update” to get them to appear
I have no idea who xx.to is… it’s not on the list of alternate domains so I’m a bit leery of that one.
Although I’m not finding dutch there, bt4gprx.com has it but I’d be cautious with some of those.
Just another douche trying to capitalize on misspellings or close enough URLs to shill their ads, or javascript mouse clicks, etc. There are tons of imposter sites for the bigger public trackers.
Ya hopefully that’s all it is and not something malicious…but I wouldn’t trust anything off it.
They just want ad clicks. It’s a really basic scam. Duplicate the website. Flood it with javascript mouse clicks and you can get an ad impression for every 3/4 clicks. Multiply that by thousands you can make decent coin.
That’s all they are really after.

Recently??? 😏
It’s actually decent for finding really old, less popular movies/tv.
How often do you find torrents with active seeds?
On piratebay? Never!
What the fuck piratebay are you twats using? I can find 90% of what I’m looking for either there or cgpeers, what the fuck are you all on‽
I use streamio which searches it but ngl I’d say like 50% of the time the top seeder is from pirate bay
It’s mostly been fine-ish for anything that can’t be infected with viruses (music, video, roms, etc - usually.) There are way better options today but as long as you’re not going there for software it’s still usable.
But why. There are so many good, legit places. Why do you feel you owe them your allegiance. Even despite knowing it’s a scam. This is the weirdest behaviour to me, sorry.
I like to use rutracker.org. The tracker is public but the search is behind a registration form. Based on my experience it has some content I was unable to find on English trackers. Additionally, InsaneZemRes (a no compression repacker, good if internet speed/bandwidth aren’t of a concern) uploads new releases to there instantly, so very comfortable if I’m looking for a game that came out recently.
In case I can’t find what I’m looking for on rutracker, torrentgalaxy.to is a good alternative. They have a lot of the RARBG torrents and I think that’s where most ex-RARBG users migrated.
Apart from private trackers, rutracker seems to be the best for lossless movies in 1080p. Big selection of blueray remuxes/rips which are often missing from the other public indexers, likely because causal users prefer 2gb files to >20gb.
Rutracker is great for CAD and other engineering software.
While the suggestions by other commenters to use Qbittorrent’s search functionality combined with add-ons (including one for Jackett integration) is a great way to index public tracker releases, I’d also recommend periodically checking for open signups to TorrentLeech given that some releases are either better seeded there or have higher fidelity video and audio tracks. Some private trackers are even better, but TorrentLeech is among the easiest to join.
Better, follow /r/trackersignups. There are more trackers than just TorrentLeech.
i use the search box in qbittorrent and it works just fine 🤷♂️
You know you have that configured to look into specific sites, right?
you don’t say? the point is
- you don’t have to search them manually
- it is default set contained in the fresh qb installation. their names are irrelevant
I thought a fresh install was blank, and you had to manually add plugins for each search provider that you chose to use.
you have to enable them before first use, but they are already there. you don’t need to bring in your own list of what you want to install (unless you want to expand on the default list).
maybe this can vary in time or between platforms or something, i am not quite sure about that, but this is how my ubuntu installation behaved.
I know when I set it up I had to add them manually, but that was years ago. Maybe this is a new thing, or maybe your specific Ubuntu instillation was a custom fork of QB that included a bunch from the start.
(I really think it’s unlikely that base QB would include them, since it would make it more obvious that they intend it to be used for piracy - something they’d want to avoid for legal reasons. Yeah, I know, but I’d rather they not get shut down.)
i have been using qb for a long time and i don’t remember ever having to manually add them. i have also been using it on a windows machine, directly downloaded from qb website. it is definitely not some ubuntu customization.
Is there a c/confidentlyincorrect? 😅
I’ll add that what I’m currently looking for is “Pimsleur Dutch”, a language learning audio guide.
Here are the current results in thepiratebay.org
The top result has only 2 seeders, only contains the first of three chapters, and is very outdated (from 2008).
In general, I recommend adding Jackett to qbittorrent. It works great and is much better than the standard search add-ons.
For this specific request, AudioBook Bay has a 30 lesson Dutch section (in a large general pack) and is dated 2022 (also available via Jackett in qbittorrent).
Thanks for this, I’ll try it. I like obscure books lol
stremio + torrentio + real debrid= good time
Bitsearch is a good indexer for finding torrents from across multiple sites, but check the source as best you can, and then use a VPN and scan the files after.
https://www.bitsearch.to/search?q=pimsleur+dutch
You can also search in qbittorrent with the search plugin, it’ll be easier to see the sources from there.
I use YTS for movies, and then TorrentGalaxy, BTMet and sometimes BTDigg for everything else
snowfl has almost never let me down! Looks like it only shows the same ones you found tho
The other day I found a .torrent file for a movie on aMule. It had +20 seeders.
I found torrentdownload.info when searching on bing. Only use it for specific things though, as there’s a lot of porn.
Porn it is then
