I’ve been thinking about putting some stuff that I can only find on direct download sites up as torrents, but most places I can access either have fake sign up/login links, or have very strict rules, like torrentgalaxy requiring at least 5 uploads per month for 3 months
Unfortunately most public torrent indexers tend to restrict ability to upload so it’s not quite that straightforward.
There’s a few you can investigate, let us know how it goes.
1337x - Not sure what their registration requirements are, if any.
Angie Torrents - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements. (their website isn’t great, maybe check out the others before trying here) Might be down?
BitSearch - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
Demonoid - I’m pretty sure registered users can upload there, keep an eye on when they open registration.
SolidTorrents - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
Also note that many of the russian torrent forums do seem to allow registering & posting torrents but am unsure of their specific requirements. Also non-english. (ruTracker, Rutor, etc.)

EDIT: Fixed SolidTorrents link, crossed out Angie Torrents for now
Angie needs a 7 day old account first, then contact with an admin. Guess I’ll wait
Bitsearch and Solidtorrents’ Login and Sign Up buttons don’t work at all for me, even with extensions disabled (Firefox, Chromium)
Glo only accepts “genuine scene releases”. Welp, guess I can’t enter.
TPB either loads the takedown page (brazilian one), or refuses to load (VPN), otherwise I’d upload there, I have an old account.
TorrentFunk blocked me from registration because I failed to fill all fields (gender, DoB) 3 times. Wow…
Yourbittorrent’s site seems very broken. Made an account, but the control panel is just php errors on top of more errors. Tried to upload, but it fails without any errors, apparently the field where you send the .torrent file is broken. Tested with FF and Chromium
Yes, some of the old staff rebooted the site after the main admin passed away a while back. It’s not quite the same as the old one (all the old accounts are gone, old torrents from the old site are gone) but otherwise it’s still around. In terms of public / semi-private torrent sites it’s probably one of the easier ones to join and upload at.

Thanks for the list. Went through some of them:
you can just upload the torrent hash or magnet, so it should work: https://bitsearch.to/add-torrent
It worked fine, thanks!
I don’t think you require an account to upload/add a torrent hash there, give it a go without registering.
See the TPB official domains in their forums https://pirates-forum.org/status
For blocked websites you can try changing your system’s DNS, or use a VPN, or use a proxy, or use Tor Browser.
Note that you do need to register/post in the TPB forums to request to register/upload at the main TPB site.
Why the fuck would any site like that need gender and DoB…
Oh wow, I didn’t know Demonoid is back in business. Good to see
