Can you please reconsider using TOR for piracy? It strains the Tor Network and makes life harder for exit node providers. The Tor Project has advised against it as well[0]. There are many cheap VPN Providers that allow port forwarding and will give you an even better torrenting experience.

Using the Tor-Browser to get the links on ThePirateBay et. al. is of course fine, torrenting the content though is where it becomes a problem.

I don't torrent through tor, I just use it to get the links. I've found that if I use TPB on the normal internet, my ISP (or someone who can see my connections) seems to be poisoning the results, since all my torrents result in a 1.89gb executable file that I'm sure as hell not opening. Getting the links through tor doesn't have the same issue, and then I download them over the normal internet, and everything works fine

Impossible. How would your ISP (or VPN provider or anyone) be MITMing the TLS connection to TPB?

If you're connecting through a VPN there is no way for your ISP to know that you're using TPB or any other website.

		They can if you let DNS leak to their servers so make sure you really firewall your ship off

		I know, that's why I use tor to get the links

Can you share the magnet link that they send you and maybe the name of your ISP? I'd be super interested in analysing this!

		I'll try to remember to but it'll be about 16 hours away

On the other hand, the system would be doomed if it relied on 1:1 message board scolding the few good actors to be viable.
