So I’ve been completely out of the waters for years but the way things are nowadays I have to sail again the high seas.
But to where?
Are there any general purpose torrent search engines like there used to be?
Public TPB AMD YTS are fine IMO.
Private Torrentleech covers most. Also, Avistaz network.
This sub has a megathread that has a list of trusted sites for general use and specific categories. It also has sites for direct download if you prefer it
I just use the qbittorrent “search” feature. Add some of the search plugins for different sites that you can find when you open the search options.
Usenet and the arrs.
Look up trash guides I’d also suggest picking up the nzb360 app.
I run a home server off of a n100 box… the nzb360 app helps me manage content. So much so that I rarely login to one of the *arrs.
