Is torrent galaxy still down? That was my go to and sounds like I have to find another. I am a little worried if they keep bringing down the big ones like that, that we'll be left with less choices and it'll be more difficult.

    TorrentGalaxy is up, but if you can't open it maybe your country has DNS censorship.

    Just change your DNS servers to something like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS respectively).

    You can change your DNS from either your computer settings or your router (the latter is recommended because it applies to all connected devices).

    It always makes me chuckle a bit how internet censorship (at least in western countries and on a personal level (school and work networks excluded)) is almost always just done through DNS. I mean I'm sure not going to be the one to tell them how laughably ineffective that is, but it's just funny.
