DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON? The new domain yts.gg clearly doesn't work, and there appear to be copycat sites (such as yts.lu which is labelled yts.mx and clearly isn't a real version, then there's yify.co which looks like yts in a new format, but every time I click something it tries to redirect to upandsawhwh.com (I have no idea).

Even worse is I can't 1337x.to to come up, and I have a whole separate issue with thepiratebay.org. At first it comes up like normal, then a second or two later it turns into what I guess is the text code for the site, which is useless!

I've been on these sites for pretty much as long as they've been around, and suddenly and recently *poof*, I can't get any of them to work.

My ISP is Comcast, browser is Google Chrome, and yes, I have an ad blocked but I don't see how disabling that is going to help. Especially considering there are 3 major sites and 3 different problems. Looks like a lot of people having the issue with YTS, but I don't see anyone having problems with TPB or 1337x.

I was heavy into torrenting during the golden age from Napster till the fall of pirate bay. I'm returning to it because fuck streaming and especially fuck Crunchyroll. However I find that I'm now more than a lot out of touch and don't know what the hell anyone is talking about. Can someone help this poor crippled old bastard cross the torrenting street without getting hit by the copyright bus.

Finding a torrent these days is a headache. One site is a minefield of fake download buttons, another hides links under three popup ads, and half the mirrors you try are blocked by your ISP or dead with zero seeders.

I wanted something clean, fast, and completely free of browser junk. So I built TorrentX — a sleek, zero-setup terminal meta-search engine and download client.

(GitHub link is in the comments below!)

⚡ Key Features:

Concurrency Meta-Search: Searches and merges results in real-time from YTS, Nyaa, EZTV, PirateBay, SolidTorrents, Bitsearch, LimeTorrents, and FitGirl Repacks in parallel.

Direct Terminal Downloads: Pressing Shift+D on any result starts downloading it right inside the TUI using a built-in WebTorrent client. It features a live progress bar, active peer count, ETA, and download/upload speed metrics.

Automatic Seeding: Completed downloads keep seeding automatically so you can share back to the network. You can pause, resume, or opt-out anytime.

ISP Block Bypass: If your ISP blocks torrent domains, it's designed to work seamlessly with custom DNS (like Cloudflare 1.1.1.1) or any standard VPN.

FMHY Fallback Integration: Features a built-in offline crawler for the FreeMediaHeckYeah (FMHY) index. If torrent seed counts are zero, it acts as a directory fallback to find working direct streaming/download sites.

Smart Intent Search: Automatically adjusts search filters and prioritizing based on keywords (e.g. typing anime, kdrama, or language tags).

🛠️ Tech Stack:

Ink + React (for the TUI rendering loop)

TypeScript

WebTorrent (for the P2P engine)

It requires absolutely nothing but Node.js to run. Give it a spin!

P.S. If this saves you from clicking a fake download button or sitting through three popups, dropping a ⭐ on the GitHub repo will keep the terminal gods happy!

I was downloading a 20 GB torrent file using qbittorent for past 3 days.
Requested a friend and he gave a link from cached torrents (llike he said)

I as getting ultra fast speeds and downloading entire file within 30 minutes.

Can someone explain how to search for cached torrents ? What sites to use for same ?

I'm usually not on those sites myself, only someone I know is.. but when I installed a game on my PC, it automatically opened the site on my PC, which does not have a vpn.

I know it's probably not a big deal (since i closed the site immediately), but should I be worried? About authorities or anything? I'm just paranoid and inexperienced sorry💔😞

I have tried using qbit to download tv shows but it is so annoying trying to sift through the countless items listed when searching for torrents on there. Let alone having to know exactly how many episodes, etc. I am hoping to find some place where I can download full seasons of TV shows at once instead of by episode.

Specifically for the movie Obsession, I know that a commentary track with the director of the movie has been released with the digital release

As of writing this (06/27/26) yts.bz just redirects me to yts.gg now and the logo is just your basic average font now but the site looks "legit" with the same old layout and everything, but something still feels "off" and I can't quite wrap my head around what it is as I'm not sure if they're changing domains every few to several months to prevent their site from getting "shutdown" but it's quite annoying as I can't tell what's "legit" or not from them anymore and don't want to risk getting malware/a virus on my rig. If anyone can update me on their latest domain, I would really appreciate

The push to block illegal streams is taking down innocent websites across Europe. As DNS and VPNs are increasingly a target, EuroISPA has had enough

Recentemente comprei uma TV OLED e quero aproveitar o máximo da qualidade dela. Sou fã de filmes com transformers, avatar... Existem sites que são muito bons para eu evitá-los?👀

Hey, so my husband was telling me that he friend needed movies and tv series on his USB and he called some service and the come and had all downloaded media etc and out it all on his usb in an hour and a half...

How do I find this service or any service similar???

Located in Melbourne, Australia

If you could help me out I would love one wil an auto play feature so I don’t have to click the next episode

I'm looking for non occidental content, in particular turkish ones which are unfindable on the classic torrent site.
Anyone knows where I could find this ?

can I get game of thrones?

I haven't been able to access ext.to (or extto.com) since yesterday, as apparently they've been closed down by the goverment/they've asked ISPs to closed them down (an official notice appears when trying to access them). I can't access them even using a VPN.

Is there any other official mirror out there? I know some other websites that I can use, but I really like ext, being able to check out new things, etc.

TIA!
