      As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.

        I wouldn’t deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.

          I haven’t noticed any pitfalls, but some other sites have fancy looking interfaces, and they might organize things in a fashion that you find more convenient. In other words, it’s a question of what features you want and where you can find them.

            Perfectly valid. I used to use TPB a lot back in the day but now I find pretty much everything I want on 1337x.

          About two or so years ago somebody on Reddit was saying it’s basically a honeypot for catching people torrenting. But I have nothing to back this up and possibly my memory isn’t accurate either. I’ve just avoided it since then though.
