Hey everyone!

I recently came across two DHT torrent search engines called Bitsearch and BTDigg. The thing is, I couldn't find any mention of their safety in the megathread. So, I'd like to hear from those who have experience with Bitsearch and BTDigg.

Are these websites considered safe for finding torrents? Do they filter the torrents in any way to ensure a safer experience? Or is it generally safe to use them without worrying too much about malware or other security risks?

I understand that no torrent website can guarantee 100% safety, but I'm particularly interested in the general safety of torrents that can be found on these two websites (or just DHT torrent search engines in general). Perhaps some of you have had positive experiences with these sites and can shed some light on this? If not, should I stick with DDL sites or the usual torrenting sites like 1337x and RuTracker? As someone who's relatively new to piracy, I'm eager to learn as much as I can.

Thanks, everyone! Your insights are greatly appreciated.

I run magnetico which is also a DHT crawler but for personal use. There are not guarantees of safety and I got saved saveral times by the fact that no viruses currently target wine on Linux. There is also a lot of porn and a lot of probably CP (I never checked for obvious reasons).
