Sadly, a lot of good torrent websites have gone down in past years. Especially after the coof, the internet has not recovered from it and torrents were one of those things. Sure, there are still options, but it's slim pickings compared to pre-2020 era.

When I needed to download a free linux distro iso image, I realized I can use inbuilt search in bittorrent clients like qbittorent. No need for web trackers. There were even very recent releases.
