What is your go-to sites after torrentgalaxy went down?
I normally use usenet, but I use torrent as backup. I heard of https://ext.to/, what are other that are good?

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.
-
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.

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.

What benefits does Usenet have over Debrid? I've been meaning to try it for years, but after finding out about Debrid services, I don't see the point when I can have a 1Gbps direct download to any torrent I want, without having to rely on seeds.
-
-
Qbittorrent + search plugins is the way to go:

-
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.

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.
-
-
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!!!
-
-
How about all of them in one?
-
You can use any torrent client with search included. For example: qbittorrent, frostwire, etc...
Anyway check FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH! https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide#torrent-sites

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:(
-
torrent.one.pl have a list of public torrent sites. Updates are just in case. Maybe useful.
-
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.
-
1337x is still kicking.
-
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 -
Flamesolverr still works. Not consistently, but it mostly still works.
-
-
-
What services people use to get informed what new movies and shows have come online? TorrentGalaxy had great listings.
-
Sonarr and Radarr can do this for you. If you have a movie or show that you are interested in that hasn't released yet you can add it to the list and the program will automatically grab it from your preferred torrent site and download it for you as soon as the file is available.
It's really nice when I forget that I added something and then six months later I see that it's been downloaded automatically and is ready to watch.
-
Here’s the problem though, I don’t even know what I should be looking for. I liked to be surprised whatever new came up. Also I liked that there was a new bluray rip of an old movie I wanted to watch but had forgotten about.
In other words I don’t have a full list of everything I’m expecting to watch one day. It was so easy to just open up TG once a day and browse the posters they had up and decide then and there if whatever looks interesting.

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.
-
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
-
-
Tbp
it's a honeypot
Use one of the clones/proxies, and if you're doing what you should be, they'll have no idea who the fuck you are anyway.
-
I still use the pirate bay, is it not recommended?
-
Private trackers
get on red first and then get to power user, that gets you a path to invites to many others
-
Exactly what I was gonna recommend. IPtorrents hasn’t let me down for 90% of content.
-
ssh...
-
-
...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 😭
-
There was also torrentgalaxy.mx when the site was alive.
