GENERAL PURPOSE SITES AND SEARCH ENGINES
General-purpose indexers to search for any type of content.
► General indexers
1337x.to - General purpose indexer.
nnm-club.me - Russian tracker and forum.
RARBG.to - Popular movies & TV tracker, though it offers other categories too. One of the most organized public tracker. Can search by IMDB tags (eg. tt0258038, appearing in IDMB URLs)
rutracker.org [.org, .net, .nl] - Russian tracker. Especially great for software and music. Well-seeded.
zooqle.com - Easy to use movie & TV indexer
[DDL] the-eye.eu - Large collection of content

/r/opendirectories's Holy Grail of Indexes - Reddit thread
These torrent search engines/DHT crawlers can be used to search within as many publicly listed torrents as possible to find rare content that may not be available in the above trackers/indexers.
[Warning] DHT crawlers listen in on the DHT network to index torrent files. They will list as many publicly available torrents as possible, unfiltered and unfettered. This means that torrents that download malware are likely to appear in the search results. Never use these to search for software, but when searching for other media types, take some preliminary measures to avoid running malware.
► Search Engines / DHT crawlers
DHT torrent search engine. Great for searching for all publicly available torrents - beats searching all your usual sites for that one elusive torrent. Lists all DHT-tracked torrents:
btdig.com - DHT torrent search engine.
SolidTorrents.net - DHT torrent search engine. Original Thread.
btdb.io - DHT torrent search engine. Original Thread.
snowfl.com - Not a DHT crawler so it won't be as thorough, but it indexes many public trackers.
For a more extensive list, see this post over at /r/torrents
► General Private Trackers
TorrentLeech - One of the largest general private trackers
alpharatio.cc (Private tracker) - A general private tracker focused on scene releases. Inferior in content compared to other general trackers like IPT, TL, FL etc but has a very strong request section. Great for requests for which personalised trackers don't exist or aren't good enough. Can be joined through MAM and RED during AR's global invites period, keep an eye out
Filelist - One of the largest general private trackers. Romanian tracker, but media content will typically include dual language audio (English and Romanian).
IPTorrents - The largest general private tracker
