I was searching through the megathread (https://rentry.co/megathread) and I found that yts.mx and 1337x.to are labeled as 'fake clones'. I have used both of these several times

Are yts.mx and 1337x.to considered unsafe? I have them in my prowlarr and wondering if I should remove them

Edit: I was wrong 1337x is not labeled as a fake clone, I misread the fake clone which is 1377x

I have been using 1337x.to for years and it's listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.

You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn't play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file...
