1337x.to or thepiratebay.org are the two big ones. you can just google how to torrent there’s like a pretty good wiki how that goes over everything just install qbittorrent. find something on the pirate bay, make sure it’s legit and click the torrent link. it’ll open in it qbittorrent and from there is pretty easy to figure out especially if you read the wiki how tutorial or watch a youtube video. there’s way more material in torrents, it’s higher quality, and just generally a better medium
yeah but you always do when you’re downloading stuff. the r/piracy subreddit has good resources. on sites like thepiratebay you can see the account name of the person who listed the torrent. you can then check if that person is legit with the subreddit. also look for stuff that has a decent ratio of downloaders (leechers) to uploaders (seeders). tpb also has a skull system so trusted accounts will have a little skull next to their listings
i would honestly assume tiktok or twitter are more likely to hve issues with viruses or sketchy downloads since there is no moderation, accounts pop up and get deleted all the time etc. kind of like buying drugs that are semi legal (like poppers or mushroom spores) vs fully illegal (like coke). semi legal stuff you still have to be careful but there is a system in place to protect you (torrent and dedicated piracy sites like 4downloads). but fully illegal (twitter, tiktok) is much more sketchy
