So I went to try that site out. Where the hell is the download link?! They're all ads!
For legit torrents, using Google doing a "<search term> torrent" might be the best option.

For others, use torrentz.eu and Adblock.

Thanks for the advice. However, all I can find on torrentz.eu are links to other torrent sites. Is it merely an aggregator? I thought they hosted their own torrents, it's less useful if they just send me to thepiratebay anyway.
Ah right -- Torrentz is a meta search engine and doesnt host any torrents.

The way I use it is to search for the torrent, and then use the results to pick a torrent site [that appears in the results] to stick with. Then that gets shut down, I head over to Torrentz, run another search, pick another site and so on..

Ah, I see, that makes sense now. I thought they would host the torrents themselves, but every link that looked like it would be a torrent download was an ad. Your clarification helped, thanks.
