I was searching through the megathread (https://rentry.co/megathread) and I found that yts.mx and 1337x.to are labeled as ‘fake clones’. I have used both of these several times
Are yts.mx and 1337x.to considered unsafe? I have them in my prowlarr and wondering if I should remove them
Edit: I was wrong 1337x is not labeled as a fake clone, I misread the fake clone which is 1377x
1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.
There’s also a qBittorrent search plugin for it, so you don’t even need to open the website.
Yeah, I haven’t visited an indexer site in probably a year. All of my searches are either automated via the *arr suite, or done manually via qBit’s built-in search functionality.
Definitely a good idea for mobile, though if on desktop, I’d suggest bypassing the website altogether and using a torrent aggregator such as Jackett, which can be integrated into qBittorrent via an extension.
I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.
