It used to be my favourite torrent site and now anything I search for it doesn't find nothing or else shows about 3 results that have nothing to do with what I want?

It used to have just about anything I wanted and would show lots of results!

Have they changed it and I'm doing it wrong?

This thread is full of fail im afraid.

Public torrent sites are nasty, full of pop ups and people who generally dont seed.

find yourself a nice private torrent site and jump aboard the gravy train fockers.

How do you find a 'private' torrent site? Whats the difference between prvate and public?

Private sites are safe, dont contain popups, virus/malware, are generally faster due to users required to keep above a share ratio and therefore continue to share instead of download/run.

To get one, find out names of decent sites and keep looking for public registrations they occasionally offer, or ask people who are registered on them, also use google to find people offering etc.

I usually search Google for the file name of what i want, followed by the word "torrent". So, "Fight Club Torrent". This ALWAYS works fine for me

Generally speaking, ISOHunt is the top site in the search results these days.

This is what I use as a last resort, the trouble is all the authorities monitor the sites listed there, so it is only a last resort for me.

I'm on a couple of private sites, but if there's any music i'll generally go on isohunt.com no ads, and usually people seeding everything.

Even managed to dl "Dave gormans important astrology experiment" from it the other day, and nowhere has that!
