I’m finding the results are not helpful as they used to be and sometimes way past the topic I’m searching. This is very prevalent when I’m searching for pirate sites. I’m falling back to Searxng whenever this occurs.

Has anyone noticed it too? Has DDG upped their modera

    I only use searx for this reason. Also, whyre you searching for pirate sites? You should have a handful that you use and seed for.

      Honestly I’m a little worried when the new administration comes in. When the MPAA walks in with a bucket full of money and they decide to Go after torrenting again I don’t really want them to see my complete history and my credit balances. When they catch me on TPB they’re going to only catch me with whatever I’ve got my hand on in the cookie jar.

        Are you not using a VPN? Also were you using TPB as your main tracker? Try TL for a step up and a private one too.

          Hell yes on the VPN. I have jacket connecting to a half dozen public services. I have a private one but I tend to only source the things there that I can’t find elsewhere.
