I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I’m very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:

    Exactly once the plugins installed, it is also the best way I have found to look for torrents. The Best feature is that it will put the Higher sources of the Search, Cross site on top.

        in the search page of qbittorrent (view > search engine, if not visible. it should be a tab/button just below the top toolbar next to ‘transfers’), in the bottom right corner should be a “search plugins…” button. clicking “check for updates” autopopulated several for me, otherwise click “install a new one” after manually downloading any from this page

        Go to the Settings there Will be a link to do so from github i believe it is very easy just a list to clic on, if I remember correctly.

            I’m on macOS and It’s not in settings at all. It’s in the View > Search Engine (make sure that’s checked) then you’ll see a Search tab appear below the big buttons and in the middle above the transfer list. Click on Search and at the bottom right of the window click on Search plug-ins… then in the pop up that opens click Check for updates and it should load them all up for you.

              That is super cool… Thanks… I’m on the Windows version… after I installed the plugins I noticed that the search pulls results from some of the torrent sites I listed in my other thread posts…
