Been using 1337x for years with no issues

EDIT: Do not go there without ublock tho

Its fine if you know what you are doing. But because anyone can set up a pirate bay mirror at this point, it can be a bit iffy to download stuff from there. I'm in a happy position of being able to use a excellent private tracker, but about once a year I do get something from pirate bay because I cant find it elsewhere. I do feel a bit icky after, but so far, all has been fine. knocks all the wood I can find

Same

I was getting something from TPB and got an email from Nintendo when I forgot to turn on my VPN.

I would recommend 1337 instead. Has pretty much every category like TPB.

Uindex, but it's recent stuff only.
