Piracy Sites + Guide

There are a lot of torrent trackers, but today we will focus on 1337x as it is a general tracker. Go over to 1337x.to and search what you want and I would suggest clicking the one with the most seeders. Next, click “magnet download” and it should prompt to open your qbittorrent . Then you want to chose where you want to choose the download directory and let it finish downloading.

Exceptions: Do not use 1337 for most software or games! Head over to our resources page for specialized trackers.

Seeding

Many newbies to piracy won’t know what seeding is and why it’s so praised in the community. Torrents are used instead of the file being downloaded from 1 source(ddl). When someone releases a torrent it will rely on you who has the file to help share that file via p2p (peer 2 peer). This is how corporations can’t get rid of torrents as there is no centralized source. However, if a torrent has no seeders, you cannot download that torrent as there is no one hosting that file anymore, the more seeders there are the faster a torrent will be (to a certain extent).

Conclusion

You always want your VPN to be on while you are torrenting.
