I normally use usenet, but I use torrent as backup. I heard of https://ext.to/, what are other that are good?
…it isn’t down for me…?
you’re using a copycat site, torrentgalaxy.to is the only official domain
What happened? Why is it down 😭

1337x.to works well too. If you use a website translator, like Firefox Translate, rutracker is great too.
Otherwise, private torrent sites (e.g. TorrentLeech) are the best addition to Usenet.
Keeping ratio is pretty easy if you set up Cross-Seed. It finds torrents matching your local files (e.g. Usenet downloads) and adds them to your torrent client without using additional space or downloading them again.
Honestly I just got a few fresh free-leech torrents a while back, seeded them for a week, and built up enough surplus to not have to worry about ratio for the foreseeable future
Yes. If you’ve got enough buffer anyway there’s not much reason to set up Cross-Seed.
Depending on the tracker this can work better or worse. E.g. I was on a tracker with minimal free leech content, so Cross-Seed helped me a lot.
How would I go about setting up cross seed
It takes a bit of time and careful reading until it’s set up.
For matching existing data you need to set up dataDirs and partial matchMode. Ideally your local files are organized (e.g. TRaSH guide) to improve cross-seeds ability to find matches. If you need help there’s a Discord linked on their website.
How about all of them in one?
Qbittorrent + search plugins is the way to go:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins
Or Real-Debrid instead of Qbittorrent if you don’t mind paying ~$3/mo USD for the convenience of 1Gbps download speeds and no seeders to rely on.
What do you use to search RD with?
Only thing I specifically used TG for was comics, as that’s the site GetComics had their comic packs on, but since they went down they seem to just be self-hosting their torrent files. Anything else I download I usually run through Prowlarr and search a dozen or two public trackers at a time lol.
I started getting most of my definitely public domain stuff from TorrentLeech when TG started having issues. Keep an eye out for an open signup. The rest comes from RuTracker, 1337x and The Pirate Bay.
You can use any torrent client with search included. For example: qbittorrent, frostwire, etc…
Anyway check FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH! https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide#torrent-sites
I usually just get my torrents from archive.org… Am I pirating wrong?
If you get what you want without getting viruses into your computer, no.
What i really miss is the hot picks and new section (even from rarbg). If someone has an idea for that i’m listening.
Any private torrent tracker worth their server hosting has a staff picks section.
What’s in ut depends on the goal/theme of the tracker
Private trackers
get on red first and then get to power user, that gets you a path to invites to many others
Yeah let me get on a private tracker so I can be harassed about not spending enough money on donations or not seeding enough or my favorite I stop using the website for a month and get banned for not using the website enough. I’d rather pay Netflix and Disney and watch ads than deal with that garbage.
You’d rather pay money AND watch ads than sign into a private tracker once a month?
Fuck a duck. This is always how I find out about shit like this. Damnit. I was all ready and have time now to do my yearly summer download spree…
I guess 1337x?
Edit: Added the soundbyte that expresses my frustration:(
I mainly use LimeTorrent and 1337x, I get 99% percent of my stuff from those two sites. Another one worth mentioning is DigitalCore Club. It’s a private tracker, but it has open signups quite frequently. It doesn’t actually have a ton of content on it, however it has a pretty good requests section. So if you can’t find something anywhere you can try to ask for it there.
DigitalCore Private trackers are a waste of time and money, piracy is about saving money and private trackers will nag you about not spending enough money and not using enough of your bandwidth and 99% of them don’t have anything better than public trackers.
Torrent Galaxy went down? My *arr stack runs around 25 different trackers. I don’t keep track of them all.
How did u find 25 public trackers that aren’t blocked by cloud flare?
25 private + public trackers.
Ratio is 5:1 for me
1337x.to has treated me well for the past few years. I love the active comment sections. It’s just like TPB was in the early days.
This is the one for me too. And I’m sure I don’t need to tell y’all, but ad blockers!!! Use them!!!
If your ISP is blocking this website, set a DNS in windows to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (Google), 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), https://www.dns0.eu/, or DNS4EU.
Yes, blocking certain sites is done in the Netherlands, due to Stichting BREIN using/abusing our legal system. Nobody likes them, but it is what it is.
PS: I’m using rargb, since it hasn’t been blocked (yet - BREIN has to sue per website being blocked).
torrent.one.pl have a list of public torrent sites. Updates are just in case. Maybe useful.
