As many public trackers as you can (I usually just start with 1337x. TPB is garbage and shouldn't be used anymore)
Usually once it's out on 2 or 3 public trackers for a couple days all the big DHT scrapers pick it up and then she's free on the wind.
What makes TPB garbage?
The original creators are long gone, the philosophy of the site has changed, and it's filled to the gills with ads and is just pretty sketchy at this point.
Which is surprising, honestly, because the whole reason that the original team got absolutely fucked was because they had way less advertising on the site to help cover the costs. They were railroaded with "profiting off of facilitating piracy." Yet the current team clearly is actually doing that and yet its fucking crickets from law enforcement. Reeks of it probably being owned by some government and they keep it up so they can keep track of piracy and send out cease and desist notices.
Why else would they be allowed to continue to exist while flagrantly doing worse stuff than the original team that they literally jailed over less?
