Anyone else having trouble accessing YTS or 1337x lately?

Over the last few months I’ve noticed that sites like YTS and 1337x get blocked more often depending on ISP and region.

I’ve been testing different access methods (mirrors, proxies, etc.) to see what actually works and what doesn’t in 2026.

One thing I found is that generic free proxies break very fast, while cleaner IP routes tend to last longer.

Curious how others here are dealing with this lately — are you switching mirrors manually, or using something more stable?

What exactly are you using the torrents for? If for watching movies etc then will suggest you try realdedrid with Kodi or stremio depending on your tech skills but you'll have full access to all streaming content from across massive torrent networks. Enjoy

Thanks for the tip! I mostly focus on testing different torrent mirrors and proxies to see which ones are more stable in 2026.
Curious — how does Real-Debrid compare in terms of reliability and speed versus using stable proxies for streaming?

Realdedrid isn't a proxy service it's what gets you access to torrent streaming via devices like Chromecast etc
