I’m looking to find out which torrent search engines you consider the best, especially those with advanced search features. By advanced search, I mean something like this.

To make this easy to tally up, please post your favorite as a comment below. Upvote the ones you also use. I’d love to see which torrent search engines this community relies on the most!

    Unfortunately, 1337x isn’t a known unsafe site since a cryptominer infected version of Baldur’s Gate 3 was uploaded with admins removing negative comments about the miner[1]. Go ahead and use it for media, but be diligent about any software[2]

    2. To be clear, you should be diligent with all software downloads online, including authentic software purchases which may be intercepted through various means to distribute to you malware. In the case of 1337x, as the admins there are part of the malware distribution however, due diligence is especially necessary. ↩︎
