Take your pick.

bittorrent is consistent...the big question now are the search engines...after the demise of kick ass torrents (KAT) what's left? I've been using bit che for a year or so and it does OK but it's a bit primitive...

Torrentz2 lists what is on all of them and gives you the choice of what one to use for download - there are more choices than you may be aware of.

 

I find the simple/open/free/no adds Tixati the best choice since they became available a few years ago.

 Also another site - something I have discovered recently: http://tparser.org/ .

 

 Lots of lossless jazz, including some fairly rare items.

That site seems to be a meta-torrent index, pulling files from other Russian torrent sites including my favorite  https://rutracker.org

 

I like Rutracker for the obsessively complete discographies on there often including very obscure stuff.

Useful links there.

www.idope.se used to be good but has gone down recently.

BTDigg which searches DHT has resurfaced http://btdig.com

 Good point. I guess I was too focused on what I was looking for to notice that it links to rutracker. ?

μTorrent , still at 3.4.1

no ads, no streaming capabilities etc, just plain ol' up/down loads

 

rarbg for the recent stuff, then an assortment of others for older stuff

 

 

Use Rarbg if need to search for movies but for regular downloading of TV shows I use https://zooqle.com with an RSS feed  or DuckieTV extension for Chrome which can be linked to a Trakt account. Both of them pretty much automates the process. 
Torrent client qbittorent on computer and tTorrent on Android box if i don't have my computer.

Many thanks for the information - most helpful!

Do most people have a separate PC for downloading, for security - or just download to their main PCs?

 

I only had a Torrent virus once, that was 10 years ago.

I'm using Win10's built in antivirus, have not had any problems so far - though some people say there are better.

 

Cheers

Same machine - with VPN and AV.

 

Achtually, I am using three different devices, depending of my location - and Ubuntu desktop,  a W10 desktop or an anadroid tablet. I will use VPN on all of them and an AV the W10 machine. But I do not have a dedicated machine for torrents.

 

If you are super paranoid you could buy a virtual desktop (which can be purchased using BTC etc. thus fairly anonymously) and run your torrent client there,  then connect to the desktop via RDP (or (s)FTP or whatever) over a VPN and download the files to your actual machine. But that't a crazy overkill for BT only.

I use a Zyxel NAS, no need for the computer to be on at all, the NAS does the downloading then shares the files on my home network to the TV.

I don’t use torrents anymore.
I have a VPN on my smartphone and stream with
https://solarmoviez.ru
and some European television Mediathek.
Works fine for me and can watch movies also when I’m on the road.

I use TOR for the thepiratebay.onion site. works when the .org site is down, which seems to be constant now.

Seedbox is the way. The issue with Torrents is not with viruses, but that you may be uploading/sharing copyrighted material.

Every now and then someone gets sued for it.

Works well for me.  Sometimes I get a message about database maintenance but a quick refresh sorts that out.

I am in Bangkok.

That is strange. I have been using it every two or three days. I sometimes get a message that it is down for 10 minutes due to maintenance, but a quick refresh and It is back. I think two or three weeks ago, it was down for two days

 

It can't have been down as there are always a number of seeders and leechers.
