There are much better alternatives actually, all the torrent sites that already existed before the Pirate Bay went down and don't try to surf on the "Pirate Bay" brand to serve old, static content.
Any that you recommend?
I normally use the torrentz.com meta search engine and go with the torrent with the most seeds. It then shows me all the sites that have that torrent, and I pick one whose name I recognize. Works like a charm.
Same, but you will miss some torrents. Both torrentz.eu and kat.ph are complying with DMCA requests.
