Excellent. By not teaching the younger generations about torrenting, we have failed them. Hopefully we can return to them being as active as they were in times past.

Well, sure. But it’s very hard these days to find torrents without jumping through lots of nasty hoops. Especially now that RARBG has ceased to operate.

The other day I was trying to download Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I went to “1337x” but I just kept getting ads wherever I clicked. Yuck. The whole experience just felt humiliating. In the end I just opened Apple’s “TV” app and bought the movie for $9 instead. Hopefully a (small) portion of that will go to the funding of new great movies. (Well, the odds for that might be high, but one can still dream…)

With that said, if anyone knows of any decent trackers out there, feel free to get in touch. (My e-mail is in my profile.)

I just search from in Qbittorrent; I don't ever visit torrent sites directly. Also, why not use an adblocker?

Interesting! How does that work? i.e. where does Qbittorrent get the results from? Would be cool if that could be done outside of Qbittorrent (for those of us who uses other clients).

I usually browse torrent sites in incognito mode, where uBlock is not active. Perhaps I should just set up a new browser profile for that instead.

PS. OTOH, I’m not really shure why I should trust a site that sends me away to other sites when I click on links. Talk about dark pattern…

I forgot to mention there's also Jackett:

Qbittorrent uses plugins to the sites themselves (including to the local Jackett instance via an API):

https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficia...

And it's what I use to search for torrents.

I would never trust a site without an adblocker and keep uBlock active in Private Mode.

But with all this, you need to know what you're searching for, browsing for content is another story
