I miss ISOHunt... :(

[Tempus9]

I'm sure everyone has noticed, and probably even discussed (although I didn't see it), ISOHunt's "Lite" version. Has anyone had any luck getting around it or are there better sites out there like it used to be? The only other ones I have ever really used are TVTorrents and PirateBay.

thepiratebay is my favorite public tracker, isohunt easily second...



Torrentspy used to be my favorite before they lost a big court case, which resulted in a removal of their search engine entirely
Now they are shut down....

*and don't ask why I included pictures lol.

My recommendation for you:

You seem like a everyday general torrenter so I will recommend you to my first private tracker ever.
http://www.ilovetorrents.com/signup.php

It's a great site with tons of high quality content that is great for a transition from a public tracker to a private.
If you have any questions at all, please post here as I will be more than glad to help you.

Can you currently not access the full version at all? That means you must be from the US. For other countries the full versions should still work.
But don't worry there are plenty of alternatives.

Indeed. I tried Canadian and British proxies, I believe. Both rerouted me to the "Lite" version.

Thanks for the post, there are some listed that i've never tried. isoHunt is still working over here in the UK.

Try this one, it's German and doesn't seem to redirect to the Lite version:
