Whatever is in the megathread.
See that sidebar on the right? Click the “Megathread” link there.
Qbittorrent:
In the menu theres a search engine you can activate
It requires python but it will more or less auto install it all for you.
Go to the new tab and in the bottom theres a link to a page where you can download plugins for the search function (or maybe you need to just search first? Its been a while… lol)
Download the ones you want. (I just downloaded them all), and throw them into a folder (its all .py files)
Tell the search plugin to install the plugins from that folder. It can inatall them all at once. Just press OK to the ones that might be outdated.
Search for something. Sort/filter as needed, and download.
You can basically download most torrents without opening a browser.
Alternatively the megathread is decent
To add to this:
Do this, but instead of “add the ones you want” just add Jackett, then go to their github (you can actually get there through the “add the ones you want” menu in qbit, click
search -> search plugins -> "You can get new search engine plugins here: [URL]" -> [In the sidebar of that page] click "How to configure Jackett plugin" -> click "Jackett" to get to their repo and "this address" to get the stuff to copy for your jackett.py file for qbit and stick it in the right folder, which will depend on your OS.Every time I reboot or Jackett updates, it doesn’t work anymore. I have to reinstall. Then it’ll work until the next update and/or reboot. Repeat. No idea what’s up with it. On Windows 10.
Yeah no clue, I’m on linux. Had it fail on me once, but a reboot fixed it ironically.
I use 1337x and torrentgalaxy, rutracker for music is nice
rutracker or 1337x
I like sites that are aggregators of content (no one site, necessarily). I think the best move is to find release groups you like the quality of and trust. From there, find out where they upload. I was a big fan of RARBG remuxes (x265) and RARBG-affiliated TV release groups, so it took a bit to find acceptable and consistent replacements. It’s worth the effort.
Who did you replace them with?
For movies, PSA slotted right in the quality/size hole RARBG left for x265 movies. There’s groups with better quality at higher filesizes (like QxR), but the ~2GB 1080p stuff PSA puts out suits my needs well.
TV is a little eh. XEN0N is where I ended up, but definitely isn’t on par with ION10/ION265. I haven’t found a great catch-all replacement. But I haven’t had to grab a ton of TV lately, to be honest.
Thank you!
You’d probably like Pahe.in releases, I also landed on PSA (I use it for both movies & tv) and Pahe is pretty close to it in quality/size. Pahe doesn’t have torrents tho, but I think their GDrive and Mega links are pretty easy to get to; compared to some of PSA’s direct downloads you only need one real countdown and less than 10 clicks to get the file
I use 1337 for PSA torrents, which are a little behind what’s on the official site. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d want to use their site directly. Pahe definitely seems more straightforward. I’ll check out a few of their releases and see if it works for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
For me it’s fine for tv shows & movies. I also use ed2k/kad network.
Wow, ed2k is still alive and kicking? I don’t think I’ve used them since like 2005.
Yeah, it works like a charm, by the way I use Mldonkey, but you have also emule & amule.
Not only is it still alive, but it even stands on the mountaintop looking down on BT
First exclude TGx, it sucks, don’t use it,
Instead of focusing on practicality, the folks on the admin team were heavy on the visuals, preferring to add a lot of fancy visual elements to the site, but not bothering with things that would actually improve the torrent download experience.

I just search for “name of movie + download” in a non-Google search engine. Google does censorship right, but the others are usually good.
yandex is very good in this. often being able to read cyrillix helps.
Doesn’t duckduckgo also censor it since it uses Bing as the primary search algorithm?
not as bad as google does
