Any torrent sites with relatively lax sign up/upload rules? Or some place to easily upload torrents (programming.dev)

I've been thinking about putting some stuff that I can only find on direct download sites up as torrents, but most places I can access either have fake sign up/login links, or have very strict rules, like torrentgalaxy requiring at least 5 uploads per month for 3 months

Unfortunately most public torrent indexers tend to restrict ability to upload so it's not quite that straightforward.

There's a few you can investigate, let us know how it goes.

1337x - Not sure what their registration requirements are, if any.
~~Angie Torrents - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements. (their website isn't great, maybe check out the others before trying here)~~ Might be down?
BitSearch - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
Demonoid - I'm pretty sure registered users can upload there, keep an eye on when they open registration.
GloTorrents - They do have specific uploading requirements so probably not for you but maybe will help others, see their forums https://forums.glodls.to/threads/uploading.5/
SolidTorrents - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
The Pirate Bay - They have a manual registration process explained in their forums https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-New-TPB-accounts-available
TorrentFunk - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements.
YourBittorrent - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements.
Ext - They have registration/uploads per https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3401527

Also note that many of the russian torrent forums do seem to allow registering & posting torrents but am unsure of their specific requirements. Also non-english. (ruTracker, Rutor, etc.)

EDIT: Added Ext

EDIT: Fixed SolidTorrents link, crossed out Angie Torrents for now

Oh wow, I didn't know Demonoid is back in business. Good to see

Yes, some of the old staff rebooted the site after the main admin passed away a while back. It's not quite the same as the old one (all the old accounts are gone, old torrents from the old site are gone) but otherwise it's still around. In terms of public / semi-private torrent sites it's probably one of the easier ones to join and upload at.
