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
I have been using 1337x.to for years and it’s listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.
You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn’t play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file…
So it played… you /s
Indeed. That was back when I used windows, and I found it quarantined in defender. No idea what kind of spyware I got from it, but I wasn’t hacked and I didn’t lose my moneys.
Ooh, I want a “Don’t drink and torrent” sticker now
