      Thanks for the recommendations 👍. Torrentgalaxy seems like the best option for what I need currently.

        I’m pretty sure you’re meant to copy the “Hash” (long string of letters and numbers) and input it into your torrenting software of choice. On qbittorent you do this by clicking the “add torrent link” button in the top left. However I’ve only got a few things to load by doing this, but that might be a me thing.

    I use TorrentGalaxy to know about the new releases and RealDebrid + Stremio. I think nothing else is actually needed.

      Yea I’ve been using torrentgalaxy aswell. They seem to have a newish release group called “infinity” I think. There releases are very similar to the HEVC ones RARGB used to do. Still miss there clean layout tho.

      Edit: new to me at least.

        It is missing the clean layout, but being able to search specifically for TV Series Packs is really handy

    Use Jackett to search many free trackers at once. BTDig is also good, but as just a simple DHT search engine, it won’t tell you the health of the torrent.

    Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they’d be the least likely to be taken down, as they don’t host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.

    Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:

    I’ve recently started using Rats Search, basically a p2p torrent indexer. I don’t want to bother with private trackers so this is pretty much perfect.

    I use TorrentDay and 1337x. For the weird things that aren’t on either one, I’ll check aiosearch and grab it from whatever has what I’m looking for.

      I used to care about that (when I did recodes and releases), but I haven’t been active on that front in years. Do they have just rips? And what trackers?

        I haven’t been active in encoding either in years, I just like to have the highest quality I can possibly find, and REMUX you can’t really go wrong with that. Where I download they have full BluRays ISO or the main feature only remuxed in MKV. Trackers I use are mostly IPT, HDBits, TL, TS, and a few others.

    Is the pirate bay not good for this? I was surprised I didn’t see them mentioned.

        As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.

          I wouldn’t deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.

            I haven’t noticed any pitfalls, but some other sites have fancy looking interfaces, and they might organize things in a fashion that you find more convenient. In other words, it’s a question of what features you want and where you can find them.

            About two or so years ago somebody on Reddit was saying it’s basically a honeypot for catching people torrenting. But I have nothing to back this up and possibly my memory isn’t accurate either. I’ve just avoided it since then though.

          I’m sorry, I’m not plugged in enough to give you the rundown. Certainly plenty of people still use it without issue but last time I tried, I could only access it through mirrors. I also vaguely recall them only offering magnet links when my setup requires .torrent files for reasons that aren’t worth getting into because I expect they’re weirdly specific to my setup.

    I gave up on visiting torrent sites. They’re all horrible to navigate. I just use the built-in search in qBittorrent (including Jackett).

    To figure out what I want to get, I use metacritic.
