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?

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.

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.

Better, follow /r/trackersignups. There are more trackers than just TorrentLeech.
