>>526306rutracker is completely safe, although the torrent quality is hit or miss (but if you're comparing it to other public trackers, it's near the top)
Animebytes for anime/manga/music that was in anime or by artists whose music has been used in anime/games based on anime/VNs/eroge (although their rules got a little more draconian concerning what's allowed)/hentai/etc.
Jpopsuki for basically any Asian music (they have a pretty big DNU list but you can find those on...)
Redacted, the
what.cd successor and THE place to look when you want an album. If it's not there, it's probably not anywhere (as far as getting it for free and in FLAC)
Oppaitime, basically a compliment to EMP but it's also kind of a mirror for sukebei and has a lot of stuff that was lost when nyaa went down
GazelleGames.net, the only place you should get games from (well, there's also UGC but that's pretty curry and I never bothered logging back in after it went down for over a year)
Broadcasthe.net, only place you will ever need for TV, plus it's ratioless (although ratio on most of the above except maybe GGn and RED are no problem)
PassThePopcorn, best place for movies. It DOES lack some but those are primarily hyper niche arthouse garbage that you have to be on Karagarga for, or maybe some ancient chinese movie won't be there, but chances are if you've heard of it, it's on there in the best quality that exists on the net
PrivateHD and it's sister networks are okay if you aren't on any of the above for their specific niches, but they aren't mandatory like the above
