Best general tracker: Zamunda
1337x.am is the only workable torrent site these days. Good Day.
1337x.am and yts.ag both are working super fine but if you want to browse more than just movies then you should go for the former.

And if you're only interested on movies, I'd still avoid the latter...

I like this one, https://eztv-torrent.org
I was wondered to see so much users still use torrent. I stopped torrenting a few years ago because of all the bans on the famous torrent sites. But what's your opinion about torrents? I would really hear some advantages over usenet.
I ment: Why should I start torrenting again instead of continuing usenet. Do torrents have more vids then usenet?

I never used usenet so I don't know how to compare but as I understand it, there is no ratio and it's not p2p like bittorrent. No need for seeders too so it's centralized server based way of sharing. I like the sound of it. However, FTP servers been kinda similar in same scope for long time. It's even the source of many content on torrent trackers. And despite all the pros using FTP/Usenet servers, I do not see torrent sharing replaceable because it's simply the most simple FREE p2p sharing way available for high rate of content. It's simply free in a lot of aspects like storage (Content availability and retention depending on peers. So storage cost is shared and for a lot ... it's free.), uploading/seeding cost (Uploading releases is making what you already have is available on demand THEN delegate/share that job with others. Peers work together) & unlimited as more users contributing the more content available in higher speed. Simple is that. Simply no centralization which is the most attractive thing about bittorrent in my opinion.
However, enforcement comes with other cons like security which forces you to get seedbox/VPN and some even paying to leech. In this aspect I'd go for FTP/Usenet servers.
If you possess reliable access and a good indexer, I daresay Usenet covers 90% of downloading very well, very quickly, and very securely, as no uploading is required and pretty much all providers offer TLS while also claiming not to log downloads. Torrents remain popular because they give a mostly equivalent experience, but "for free" and with a lower learning curve, as well as supplying that other 10% of files that Usenet doesn't have - in contrast to private trackers, the amount of content-specific NZB indexers is extremely low, I can only name AnimeTosho and Kleverig. There are other factors like retention, organization, exclusive releases, etc., but this is just a quick summary
FTP leech slots are not definitely not impossible to obtain, but they're a bit higher up the piracy food chain than other methods Not an option you'd normally consider.
Also, private torrenting is actually highly centralized by design. If the tracker is not reachable, you won't be able to (successfully) download or seed torrents. If it shuts down or is forced to do so, then all of its torrents will be lost unless manually reuploaded elsewhere by former users, and so will the precious buffer and stats you spent time building. What.cd was just the most recent example of this.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Which part?
- For free: the real Usenet experience requires that you pay for a good provider and indexer. Sure, there are free options... if you don't mind downloading just a few things per day at 1 Mbps. In contrast, paying for access to torrent trackers is highly disapproved of in the community. You do have the option of renting a seedbox, but if your upload speed is minimally decent, you can get by just fine on all good sites (and I'm of the opinion that the ones where you can't are likely not bothering with). I downloaded six torrents some hours ago, all but one of them are above 1:1 ratio already
- Lower learning curve: BitTorrent is easier, just add torrents and start. No need to worry about missing articles, takedowns, PARs or fill servers, because either the protocol deals with everything by itself or isn't vulnerable in the same way Usenet is. While this doesn't make the latter an absolutely impenetrable esoteric mystery, the path of least resistance is always going to be more popular.
- Files that Usenet doesn't have - most stuff from the highly dedicated trackers like KG, Tik, TheVault or RED doesn't make it there unless deliberately cross-posted (feel free to check out reviews if you need specific examples). Due to the aforementioned shortage of focused NZB indexers, there is little incentive to post it in the first place, whereas on a niche tracker you have the potential appreciation of your peers, the feeling of contributing to a content library possibly with something that had been specifically requested, and increasing your ratio so you can grab other rare shit yourself
By the way, I use both of them - turns out they aren't mutually exclusive
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Ya i know you use both
So the word unpopular could be used instead or rare Anon??Files that Usenet doesn't have - most stuff from the highly dedicated trackers like KG, Tik, TheVault or RED doesn't make it there unless deliberately cross-posted (feel free to check out reviews if you need specific examples).

Do you have some examples?? As you know me i would like to see this content you are speaking of??
And see if it is really true that it doesn't end up on both platforms???
Now if you are talking things that are usually streamed in You Tube and they are just making stuff like that available to have on your hard drive, as opposed to just say saving a link??...
I do know and will say that there is times where Torrents will get stuff faster then say Click Downloads or Usenet?? But really i have yet to see stuff that is exclusive to any??
The same with the name changing of uploads or seeding stuff, if you check the origin most of the time it is just renamed or the claim of re encoding the original...
That make sense no??
Again i be interested to test your theory out.....
And the Truth and really thinking... When it comes to Usenet, there is thousands and thousands of Binary Groups , that are never really checked to see what is in them.. Remember the old days before NZB's you have sites that would tell you where and what Binary Group something was in and you got that information if you were privy from FTP or that other one that i can't remember the name??
And the big name Uploaders would post where the stuff was???
I am just saying that because there must be a ton of shit that is upped and no one knows or cares because it is not popular.....
Torrents that doesn't happen right......
