[xXxLunaxXx]

The best torrent search engine to find anything is:

but much better is the tor alternative:

because the btdig.com filtered much requests...but the tor alternative does not

utorrent is ass, would recommend tixati or qbittorrent instead.

You will not be able to find absolutely everything - many torrent sites are closed to outsiders and are not indexed by search engines. I can understand their logic, otherwise where would I have been able to collect the complete filmography of Tracey Lords? What is legal in one country may be illegal in another. My advice is not to look for content, look for websites. 80% of them require registration. And one more rule - most of the time you have to give away the same amount of traffic as you downloaded. It's not a difficult task, just leave your PC running all night. The monitor can be turned off . If you register on a large website, there will be no question of searching for content, there is so much of it that it will last for decades. And forget about the trivial search - it won't help you. And don't expect to find content like the one in the + section, no one is messing with it. There are resources on the darknet, but I don't go there either, and I don't recommend it to you.

Oh, believe me, you can find everything there. And we shouldn't talk about everything you can find there, because otherwise this would have to be moved to Off-Topic+.

Yeah i also recommend qbittorrent rather than utorrent/bittorrent duo which is the same company.

 

[sglade]

For clients I would say deluge or qbit. As to where to find stuff depends on what you want but I usually use this handy place

where they group different websites by what they offer and how trustable they are

Yup been using qbit for 20 years never had an issue.

Private trackers typically require disabling DHT (usually this is specified in the .torrent file, so no manual configuration is needed). A DHT crawler obviously cannot find torrents that aren't using DHT, so even with this you would only be getting the stuff found on public sites.

Also don't use µTorrent.

qBittorrent <3

uTorrent was good about 15 years ago lol

EDIT: For magnet searching, I tend to use damag.net

Okay, do you have a good site where you can find these non-DHT torrents?

What's wrong with utorrent now? i havnt used a desktop client in a long time but thats what i used to use

I don't think it is bad in anyway. It's just that there are newer options. Like Qbittorrent, which is open source.

Any private tracker site, they are usually invite only (that's what makes them private). TorrentLeech is a solid general-purpose tracker which opens invites for anyone ~2 times a year (plus seeding requirements are very low). For movies/TV/games it should have anything you could want in high quality, though public sites (like CS.RIN) are just as good for games.

For other private sites the way to get invites is either through an interview or to have a proven record of seeding and uploading on another private site. MyAnonaMouse (books/audiobooks), Redacted (music), and Orpheus (music) allow anyone to do an interview.

Pretty much all movie/TV-focused sites (PassThePopcorn, BroadcastTheNet, Nebulance, Secret Cinema, HDBits, Cinematik, etc.) only invite users from other sites (e.g., the ones in the previous paragraph), so you would need to spend a lot of time getting good stats on another site to get access to those. IMO it's not worth it unless you would be using other sites anyways, as TorrentLeech has everything I've ever searched for. If you want something extremely niche then some of the aforementioned sites are supposed to have a wider collection.

For porn there is Empornium and HappyFappy, with the latter existing specifically to be a more open alternative to the former, as Empornium is extremely hard to get an invite to.

It works but there are better options. Features/UI/performance aren't up to the quality of something like qBittorrent. The monetization (ads and, in some older versions, a bitcoin miner) is quite bad too, compared to completely free clients.

Redacted does interviews at .

The rest don't do interviews/open signups AFAIK, so you would get the URL together with the invite.

qbtorrent is what replaced utorrent, it has a search engine feature that lets you search every public torrent site at once as well. You really should just be using that one, if not the one built into brave is okay.

This said qbtorrent has no issue, lets you customized everything, is on github so you can see the source code even, and is actively updated all the time.

 

[SneakySnake]

I concur that you should use qbitorrent. All others suck or filled with malicious ads.
For sites, I use

for general stuff and vidya games, and I use nyaa.si for anime. rutracker.org has some niche stuff I couldn't find on the other two. All the interface is in Russian, so it's tough to navigate. If you're looking for music, try out soulseek.
And of course, always use a VPN. I use Mullvad and Proton VPN. Those two I know for sure don't store logs.

Adding to this, Proton is generally better for torrenting because Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding. Without port forwarding it is only possible to connect to people who do have properly configured port forwarding, which most people don't, so speeds get a lot worse and some torrents with very few seeders may be impossible to download.
