You can still find some downloads on OLD blogspot aggregators but many of those links point to archives on Mediafire and Megaupload, both of which are no longer around.

piratebay might still point to trackers that have copies, but bittorrent isn't as popular as it was in the past

Mediafire is still up https://www.mediafire.com/

Most music pirates have moved on to using Soulseek (a P2P network) it seems. Releases not found on bittorrent can most likely be found on SLSK.
