While you might get most of what you want on the public websites such as Pirate Bay, Mininova , there are chances of you downloading a malware or virus or fake torrents uploaded by Anti-Piracy Organizations to catch you red-handed for downloading pirated materials.

There are also a lot of private torrent trackers that are more reliable and offers faster downloading speed due to the members seeding the torrent to try to get a good ratio.

You either have an invitation where your friend invites you in or you just have to wait until they open up the registration to public.
