    I’ve seen some people don’t like them, not 100% why, but I have had pretty good luck with IPTorrents. I also use Blutopia sometimes.

      IPT admins will ban literally anyone for literally any reason, then tell you they’ll reinstate your account if you donate. This is their business model and they’ve been doing it for many many years. Aside from predatory donation fishing, there’s a ton of very low quality content on IPT. The kind of stuff that would be banned on any respectable private tracker.

          Yeah same. Myself and at least a dozen friends have been using them for at least a decade with zero issues. Guess we are just lucky.

            Or the classic situation where the loudest voice is heard. Nobody is gonna be screaming “WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES!!”

    Relied on DirtyTorrents for a while as an aggregator, now have been using LimeTorrents and TorrentDownloads as individuals sites for general use. Nyaa is still my one anime choice, FitGirl Repacks directly for games, fapforfun for hentai games.

    I miss RarBG, had some good quality selection and also the only place that reliably had well-labeled, full porn movies.

    Are you using tgx with Jackett, or directly from the site?

        That’s what I’ve been using in the last decade or so.
        Sometimes rarbg when can’t find a movie.

        What’s the issue with it?

          Software piracy is ultimately about trust and TPB (and 1337x to a lesser extent) have broken that trust with some users due to a lack of effective moderation. There is nothing wrong with either of them for movies, though.

        They go down frequently and are notorious for being riddled with trap files and malware. No one should be using the bay anymore. 1337x has the same problem now but slightly less than the bay, and a lot of domains are now honeypots. This guy probably read one post about piracy close to a decade ago and NEVER learned anything new after that.

          Why so mean? You could’ve just said that those two sites have changed in the past decade and that they should look into diversification. The insult was uncalled for.
