Edit 2. Hmm, is there another bay like site?
I can't say with absolute certainty, but most if not all public torrent sites were DMCA shot down.
Nowadays, torrents have being used either on an "as needed" basis or by super secret sites which access is almost always invitation based.
I know that because I used to be a member of bakabt (google for it, if you want), but lost my membership due to innactivity.
Now, only way for me to get my membership back is to find someone from the staff on IRC or whatever, explain what my deal is, ask for a new invitation and hope for the staff person to give me one.
Long story short, it's still possible to find good public torrent sites, but that's not an easy task nor (imo) the malware risks make it worth the effort.
On the other hand, if you know someone from one of those super secret sites, you may be just one request way from paradise.
Best regards,
