Public Trackers
Public trackers are open to anyone — no account required. Quality and safety varies, so always check seeders and read comments before downloading executables.
Magnetz aggregates search results from several of these sources directly. Searching there is often faster than visiting each site individually.

|---|---|---|
| 1337x | General | Clean UI, verified uploaders, strong community. Indexed by Magnetz. |
| The Pirate Bay | General | The oldest major tracker. Reliability varies; use a VPN. |
| RARBG mirrors | General | RARBG shut down in 2023; various mirror/archive sites carry its index. |
| Torrent Galaxy | General | Active community, verified uploaders. Good RARBG replacement. |
| Solid Torrents | General | Clean aggregator with DHT index. |

Tips for Public Trackers
- Check comments before downloading anything — community members warn about fakes and malware
- Prefer verified/trusted uploaders — look for checkmarks or badges on uploaders
- Cross-reference info hashes — if the same hash appears on multiple sites for a known release, it's more trustworthy
- Avoid loose executables — video and audio files cannot execute malicious code;
.exe,.msi, and.batfiles can
WARNING
Never run .exe or .bat files from untrusted torrents without first scanning them. See Malware & Fakes.
