I normally use usenet, but I use torrent as backup. I heard of https://ext.to/, what are other that are good?

I still use the pirate bay, is it not recommended?

I don't think it's really considered very safe anymore, although it is still very popular.

Safe about what? I get movies all the time and they are... movies?

If you download games and executable files, you're an idiot, but it's been like this for more than 20 years.

I wouldn't say downloading games is Inherently unsafe you just need to be careful and download from reputable groups. It is also possible especially craft in movie files such as .mkv to be malicious, also don't forget that the ads in some torrent sites are malicious.
