      Pretty much everything on there is monitored by the rights holders and anything that’s not is loaded with malware. L337 or torrent leech is what you want these days, for the mainstream stuff. TL requires invites but they’re easy enough to get and it’s got pretty much all the mainstream TV, movies, and software. If you want more niche stuff you’d want to look around a bit more, though.

        Sure. If you want to torrent from a website that the US government uses as a honeypot.

        Or you can join 2023 and use a proper website. Also ditch that Malware called uTorrent and use qBittorrent.

        TPB is still moderated. They just had news this year about reopening registrations.

      Well, Pirate Bay is essentially the defacto website someone thinks of when they hear “This person pirates content.” Because of this, game devs, Hollywood execs, etc end up putting out detectable torrents/illegitimate files onto this most popular pirating source.
