Are these torrents legit? I'm a noob, but these seed numbers seem insanely high compared to other torrent sites.

Yes this site is very safe, don't worry about that. This is one of the best, only legitimate users can upload.

Site is legit but YTS YIFY doesn't exist since many many years. You might get the real movie but the encoder is imitating YIFY and YIFY was not good quality just hyped as fuck and useful for slow internet.

Atleast the yify copycats now are not as shitty as the original one. Still bad, but not as bad.

For me at this point im annoyed if Tigole hasnt ripped something. His are my perfect middle ground for quality/size.

For sure. When I first found out about Tigole, I went through all his torrents on qxr and utr. Ended up replacing a large portion of my movie library with his stuff.

Oooooh yeah....

No better feeling that replacing a yify copy with a tigole one.
My Plex server is just super underpowered, i built it before i knew about Plex actually, so i have to be an asshole about what devices of my friends i let on since it can barely transcode one HEVC stream. You need the box, not the stick, the box, not the stick...

is a vpn needed when downloading from here? I’m new sorry
5
Yes, use a VPN for torrents. I use PIA, but theres probably other good ones out there too.

So I should use vpn if i have to download that small size torrent link and disable it when i start downloading the big file via torrent client?

Nah, you just leave it running all the time and have your torrents automatically cut off if its not.

Is everyone here trolling or is it legit?

Legit. 1337x is a great site. It's my go to since KAT went down. Kat lives on once more, but it's just not the same. Whoever is running it didn't make the layout the same and isn't doing a good job making it like the old site at all.

Nice to know, been using mirror sites and the like for kat and tpb when they go down

Check the comments.

It is pretty legit. I use that site often.

like most people say all ways use a vpn you can choose 1 from privacytools.io along with thatoneguysprivacy which lets you compare vpns. Make sure you go with a good vpn (and don't go with any lifetime options as there not good vpns looking for a quick buck and you will end regretting it) along with making sure you setup your torrent client correctly. Search for torgaurd ip test which can download a small torrent file and then search for the ip address at whatismyipaddress if it's working you should find it going though the country of your choice in the vpn. If then you haven't set it correctly. Sometimes people buy a vpn subscription and then later they wonder why they get a love letter and it turns out say it disconnected or was not set up fully. Have a look at r/vpntorrents and r/vpn

I once downloaded the most seeded KMSpico on 1337x and that fucked my computer. Had To hard reset it.

Those are some pretty small file sizes.

1337x is safe. Only verified users have permission to upload there
Edit: yes they are legit!
Okay good. I guess a lot of people use that site.
If you think that's high, you should see how much it was in PirateBay 7 years ago
Do you happen to know what the difference between the blue and yellow labels are by the names then? I didn't realize only verified users could upload and I thought yellow meant they were verified and blue meant they weren't.
Blue = VIP Uploader
Yellow = Uploader
If you want to upload on that site, you need to ask the staff. They will give you "Trial Uploader" rank and if you keep posting without breaking the rules you upgrade your rank.
Ok, so I foudn out the Red-lable ones are trial uploaders. Are they also safe to download from?
They're more risky, but that doesn't mean they're all fishy. If you're living on the edge, id say you'd probably be ok downloading from a trial uploader as long as everything else checks out.
In that case what does the Red lable mean?

in the mega thread it says not to use it, is it safe then?
Holy shit, I never knew that. I always only downloaded from VIP because I thought anyone could upload there.
