After a certain point, you get a sense of which release groups to trust or not. Not to mention you can just open the download page from within qBittorrent.

- RajT88 4mo agoI had no idea! As much as I appreciate TPB, their ads are cursed.
- worble 4mo agoYou browse torrent sites without uBlock Origin?
- everyone 4mo agoYou use anything on the web without uBlock Origin?
- RajT88 4mo agoThey are cursed even with it.
- unnouinceput 4mo agowtf you talk about? here's my example of searching latest euphoria episode: i.postimg.cc/tJ2tMJYm/pb-example.jpg Do you see any ads there? You mean you don't use Firefox? Then that's on you bro!!
- dizhn 4mo agoThey all do have auto firing things that would not necessarily show on a screenshot. It's a cat and mouse game between these sites and filter maintainers. But even for those I recommend the popup blocker strict extension.
- Fnoord 4mo agoThis a good point but, do you browse torrent sites? There are much better tools available these days, than torrent sites. I mean, it was always the case that Usenet was quicker but even with that, there's options available such as the *Arr stack.
- Hoodedcrow 4mo agoI only used Rutracker and Rarbg (rip), TPB felt sketchier. I wonder what's the "prime" English-language public tracker now? 1337?
- RajT88 4mo ago1337 is OK. Rarbg too. For movies, nothing beats YTS imo.
- Unai 4mo agoI might be misremembering, but wasn't YIFY/YTS known for their awful quality ultra compressed releases? I thought they closed down many years ago tho, so no idea if they are the same people or if they still focus on low-quality releases.
- marysol5 4mo agoYiffy/YTS was always about compressing the hell out of everything to fit it onto a CD!
- ChoGGi 4mo agoRarbg was shutdown last year or sometime thereabouts. Nothing beats yts for shitty compression
- Hoodedcrow 4mo agoYeah, it did shut down :( Ever since, I haven't really found an English-speaking replacement. Rutracker has the absolute majority of what I need but doesn't have some newer American children's cartoons that I used to get from Rarbg. For example, one show had full seasons on Rarbg, but only individual episodes on 1337 (of which none are from the newest season), and Rutracker only has the first two seasons, only with a TV dub and in a horrific quality :/
- iamalizard 4mo agotpb.party works without JS. It's the main mirror I use.
- marysol5 4mo agoBut how are you trusting that it's actually that group
- squigz 4mo agoWhen it comes to movies/shows, I generally just trust the listing; there's no real risk, particularly as I'm not a quality whore. For games/programs, I'll mostly just check the download page to ensure it's from a verified, trustworthy group. Mostly though, I've never felt the need to be as paranoid as some people suggest one must be when torrenting; despite doing this for 20+ years, I've not had any incidents since I was about 12 years old.
