Where to find torrents? (lemmy.world)

I used to use thepiratebay.org, but recently it seems the quality of the site has degraded.

I sometimes also use 1337xx.to , but that site seems to have a very small selection.

Note that I couldn't find an answer to this question in the wiki + meathread, so if the answer is already there, please direct my attention to it 🙏🏴‍☠️

i use the search box in qbittorrent and it works just fine 🤷‍♂️

You know you have that configured to look into specific sites, right?

you don't say? the point is

you don't have to search them manually
it is default set contained in the fresh qb installation. their names are irrelevant

I thought a fresh install was blank, and you had to manually add plugins for each search provider that you chose to use.

you have to enable them before first use, but they are already there. you don't need to bring in your own list of what you want to install (unless you want to expand on the default list).

maybe this can vary in time or between platforms or something, i am not quite sure about that, but this is how my ubuntu installation behaved.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know when I set it up I had to add them manually, but that was years ago. Maybe this is a new thing, or maybe your specific Ubuntu instillation was a custom fork of QB that included a bunch from the start.

(I really think it's unlikely that base QB would include them, since it would make it more obvious that they intend it to be used for piracy - something they'd want to avoid for legal reasons. Yeah, I know, but I'd rather they not get shut down.)

i have been using qb for a long time and i don't remember ever having to manually add them. i have also been using it on a windows machine, directly downloaded from qb website. it is definitely not some ubuntu customization.
