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 🙏🏴☠️
I just have a bunch of search addons for different sites directly in qBittorrent. I haven’t made a website search for a long time.
the plugins are already built-in in the standard installation, you just have to enable them before first use and that is it. after that you just use the search box.
I have no idea who xx.to is… it’s not on the list of alternate domains so I’m a bit leery of that one.
Although I’m not finding dutch there, bt4gprx.com has it but I’d be cautious with some of those.
Just another douche trying to capitalize on misspellings or close enough URLs to shill their ads, or javascript mouse clicks, etc. There are tons of imposter sites for the bigger public trackers.
Ya hopefully that’s all it is and not something malicious…but I wouldn’t trust anything off it.

Recently??? 😏
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.
I like to use rutracker.org. The tracker is public but the search is behind a registration form. Based on my experience it has some content I was unable to find on English trackers. Additionally, InsaneZemRes (a no compression repacker, good if internet speed/bandwidth aren’t of a concern) uploads new releases to there instantly, so very comfortable if I’m looking for a game that came out recently.
In case I can’t find what I’m looking for on rutracker, torrentgalaxy.to is a good alternative. They have a lot of the RARBG torrents and I think that’s where most ex-RARBG users migrated.
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.
