Good for you. The piracy community writ large knows it to be full of malware with regards to the software section. There is no effective moderation meaning anyone who uses it for software is not acting in their own best interests.

Pirating software is always a Russian Roulette gamble of which you may not know the results for years, even from the most trusted groups. However no trusted groups post on that site and repeated experience from the community has shown trusted user accounts are regularly used to post malware. Yeah it happens on leetx too sometimes but on there the person doing it gets banned and their uploads removed in a timely manner.

TPB is a relic from decades past. The latest releases from the scene for movies, tv shows, etc are all publicly repackaged or dumped on other more favored and better moderated sites like 1337x or rarbg. I admit very rarely there’s some odd, rare piece of old media that only exists on the public nets from some old dvd-rips and encodes from 2009 which you find as an avi on TPB and nowhere else. However outside of that everything is simply better and safer elsewhere.

1337x, rarbg, and rutracker are favored sites in all categories. For things like anime and software there are a few other, newer more ever-shifting sites which I won’t go into here but which can easily be found in the links I’ve mentioned and resources they link to.
