Hi all! Long, long, long time torrenter here.

I’ve been using tpb . party for years, probably since 2019(?), and I have literally never had any issues with the site. I’ve been able to pull almost any kind of media and I’ve never had malware infecting my computer. So I’m after scrolling through this sub, and others, over the last few days and I’m left confused as to why the general advice is to avoid tpb proxy sites.

I’m asking because my own experience is not lining up with the torrenting subs’ guidance.

For context on my own user experience, I use a Linux OS, transmission for torrenting, and Ublock origin on my browser so I never see any ads; the site looks clean. I have a library with over 400 movies and tv shows, all of which were pulled from tbp for like the last 12 years.
