Description tedzilla 2021-04-22 22:55:19 UTC
SUMMARY: not really a bug, but should be looked at. BTDB is listed as a search for torrent. But it looks like that site hasn't run in since 2017. 

I think it would be good to remove that option at the next update.

I can confirm, it points to some shady ad-laden site now. Same thing with the "Torrent Project" search engine.
