I already know, but I feel like this post belonged here. Trust the skulls, I have usually found original seeders seeding the torrent alone for years at time (1 seeder) and they get the job done.
Green Skull, Pink Skull, Number of seeders column (what else?) are the things you should care for while downloading torrents.
Page next and back buttons have been gone for like 10 years now but you can manually browse by adding :2 for page two to your search, :3 and so on
I've been using TPB regularly for over a decade. Goes down now and then but usually back up in a day or 2 tops
Have you found the content to be reliable/trustworthy? Last I looked, it was just full of uploaded-yesterday highly suspicious links.
This is where I have been finding anything I really need to torrent.
I stopped for a couple of years during the peak of kickass torrent, when I came back TPB had moved to an onion domain but it seems the quality is higher than in the 2010s.
I typically order by highest seeders, I only really download games and TV shows/ movies and have had decent luck.
I don't really use it directly, but I have it as a source in radarr/sonarr so occasionally I get stuff from there. Hasn't let me down so far!
What are you the cia?
For movies (rip rarbg) I use TorrentLeech
For music I use Soulseek
For books I use irc.irchighway.net #ebooksI recently purchased a Usenet subscription+indexer to plug up any gaps, and it seems to be a pretty good option as well (although not free).
For software, I just try to always go open source when I can, and I don't really pirate games. I find executables to just be too risky.
