TPB used to be great once, now it is riddled with malware. There are safer alternatives like 1337x, rutracker & torrentgalaxy etc

If you can use Linux for your torrenting.
I see a lot of comments about how TPB tends to have the most seeders.
I'm not knowledgable enough to answer this myself, but is there any reason when downloading things from a public tracker to not just chuck every public tracker from one of the automatically updated github lists into the trackers section for it in your client?
The reverse would be to add the TPB tracker to public torrents from other sources, if you wanted to grab any seeders for the same torrent from TPB, right?
Huh, before reading this thread I'd never known that people didnt like tpb, I use it all the time.
Thanks for the post. I'm a novice at pirating too and i think i was a bit lost too. This post and the megathread helps a lot.
The most sophisticated thing i did previously was to get mullvad as a vpn
This could turn out to be a bad decision. removing the support for forwarded ports Without Portforwarding you will not be able to seed properly.
