I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I'm very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:

Ideally it's supposed to filter possible sources of malware and some people believe it makes them less likely to be caught torrenting

Yeah the effectiveness is questionable, but I don't see any downside other than maybe losing a peer or two

But good article!
