"Does thepiratebay.or still have the biggest selection of torrents, or has it fallen behind?"
Hey guys, been using thepiratebay.or for years, but lately I’m noticing some stuff missing or dead links.
Is it still the go-to for the widest variety, or are there better sites now? I’ve heard some alternatives have fresher uploads, but idk if they match the sheer volume.
Also, how’s the seed/leech ratio these days? Feels hit or miss sometimes.
Would love to hear your thoughts—still loyal to TPB or moved on?
(And yeah, I know about the domain changes, but that’s a whole other topic lol.)

TPB is still decent for older stuff, but honestly, it's not what it used to be.
I’ve switched to 1337x.to for most things—way better seed/leech ratios and fewer dead links.
If you’re looking for niche content, rutracker.org is a hidden gem (just use Google Translate lol).
thepiratebay.or is still okay, but it’s definitely fallen behind in quality.

Nah, TPB is kinda dead these days.
Lots of fake torrents and dead seeds.
Try RARBG (if you can find a mirror) or TorrentLeech for private stuff.
thepiratebay.or is just coasting on its name now.

I still use thepiratebay.or for random stuff, but yeah, it’s hit or miss.
Pro tip: Use qBittorrent’s built-in search to check multiple sites at once.
Saves time and you can compare seeders across platforms.

TPB’s selection is still huge, but quality control is garbage.
I’ve had better luck with Zooqle—smaller but way more reliable.
Also, check out Jackett if you want to automate searches across multiple trackers.
thepiratebay.or is like a messy garage sale at this point.

thepiratebay.or is my backup now.
For movies/TV, YTS.mx is cleaner.
For games, FitGirl Repacks or DODI.
TPB’s seed ratios are awful unless it’s a super popular file.

Honestly, TPB is still king for sheer volume, but you gotta sift through trash.
Use Torrentz2 or BT4G as metasearch engines to find working mirrors.
And always, ALWAYS check comments before downloading.

thepiratebay.or is like Walmart—lots of stuff, but half of it’s broken.
I’ve moved to private trackers like IPTorrents.
Invites are hard to get, but worth it for the consistency.
Public trackers just don’t cut it anymore.

TPB’s domain hopping is annoying, but it’s still my go-to for obscure stuff.
Just pair it with a good VPN and a seedbox to avoid slow downloads.
For newer releases, though, RARBG is way better.
“” - HyperXpert77 - 07-04-2025
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions!
I tried 1337x and RARBG, and they’re way better for fresh uploads.
Still gonna keep thepiratebay.or as a backup for older stuff, though.
Anyone got tips for finding working RARBG mirrors? Their site’s been shaky lately.
