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.

    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.

    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.

        you don’t say? the point is

        1. you don’t have to search them manually
        2. it is default set contained in the fresh qb installation. their names are irrelevant

    The other day I found a .torrent file for a movie on aMule. It had +20 seeders.

    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    The top result has only 2 seeders, only contains the first of three chapters, and is very outdated (from 2008).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).
