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 🙏🏴‍☠️

It's actually decent for finding really old, less popular movies/tv.

How often do you find torrents with active seeds?

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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.
