Everything got flooded with those exes, not just South Park. All most seeded TV episodes on most public trackers were (are?) those EXEs. It will be interesting to know who launched the attack.

Started running bitmagnet a few weeks ago after getting fed up with BTDigg dying and other DHT crawlers actually complying with DMCA notices for some reason (???). Pretty much everything even slightly popular that I search for has one of these EXEs lying around. Sometimes multiple.
Bitmagnet has some good filtering to remove garbage like that but not great examples lying around ready to use. I bet an LLM can be pointed at the schema/docs and get you something useful setup though.
I haven't made any configuration to filtering. I don't mind seeing this stuff, I just skip over it when searching. Not even really an inconvenience.
btdigg is fine? (on tor)
Meh, I don't keep Tor running all the time, so the startup delay just to get to BTDigg would be a turn-off. Besides, getting bitmagnet running in a container let me put both it and Deluge behind a VPN, so I don't have to enable a system-wide VPN to torrent, or stop my torrents to turn the VPN off!
