Greetz,

If i access TPB’s .onion site it’s available and i can do searches, however, there are always no search results whatsoever.
If i use the clearnet version, even via tor, then i get results…

Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

    I’d avoid TPB. It used to be alright but it’s gone way downhill after several takedowns. It’s kind of the Wild West now. Sure you can find a few things not other places, but you’re also way more likely to get a virus or something. The mega thread pinned in this community has good alternatives like 1337x

      No .onion link, uses cloudflare and immediately tried to download some mpeg.
      I’ll check the other links though, thanks.

      Edit there is an onion site.
      Edit alas, links redirect through cloudflare to aliexpress… wtf?

      You can’t get a virus from just video/audio files, only executables, which is a risk to get from any public tracker(honestly if its not direct from a well known cracker group with no history of malware injection its a risk and even then trying stuff in a VM and monitoring network connections etc is still best practice) including tpb and 1337x
