I’m in a couple good PTs and noticed I can get better content there then on public trackers usually, been PT only for almost half a year.

So to primarily PT users, what are your favorite PTs and why?

I tried out TorrentLeech a few years back, but at the time their faq said to use uTorrent and specifically mentioned banning users of QBittorrent, so I fucked off real quick and haven't really tried again since.

They allow QBittorrent. https://wiki.torrentleech.org/doku.php/about_clients?s[]=clients

The following clients are banned from Torrentleech

Thunderbolt (a.k.a Xunlei) FOLX download manager Freebox BitTorrent BiglyBT Some versions of μTorrent (mainly older than the 2.2.0 version for Windows) Bitcomet

We also do not permit beta clients, or clients which have been forked from major clients and/or altered in some way.

This was back in 2020. I distinctly remember a direct mention of QBT and some vague threats of "use it at your own risk, if we see something we don't like we'll ban you immediately." Left real bad taste in my mouth.
