If you’re in a country that blocks torrent websites but not trackers (eg. UK), visit the sites via Tor browser.
Rutracker.org and Rutracker.ru are surprisingly not blocked in the UK and have lots of good software. They’re BBCode-style forums, so fairly obvious how to navigate/search them even if you don’t speak Russian. If you want to read the description or comments of a specific torrent, pop the page into google translate.
I’m using whichever is the freshest version BakaBT allows (v4.5.4 right now).
