► Windows & Office Genuine/Untouched Downloads

 

► Adblockers & Bypassers

 

► Useful Userscripts

 

► Pirate Site Proxies / Unblockers

 

► Security

Windows defender should be more than enough for virus protection, combined with malwarebytes as an extra precaution. You do not need paid antiviruses, nor is it recommended to pirate any paid antiviruses.

 

► Torrent Clients

Notes: Bittorrent Inc. has bundled malware (a bitcoin miner) into uTorrent in the past - it is not trustworthy. Bittorrent (the torrent client) is owned by the same company.

Bitlord torrent client is malware.

  • Webtorrent - Torrent-streaming client
  • Transmission - Simple and lightweight open-source torrent client
  • qBittorrent - Open-source torrent client. Has a built-in search feature that searches popular public trackers. Consistently updated

  • PicoTorrent - Simple and lightweight torrent client

  • kTorrent - Torrent client for linux
  • rTorrent - Terminal-based torrent client for linux
  • ruTorrent for rTorrent - Web management UI for rtorrent
  • Flood for rTorrent - Sleek web management UI for rtorrent
  • [Windows] uTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25302 - If you're still set on using uTorrent, this is a stable old build of uTorrent, before it turned to crap and had malware added. It was released on May 18, 2011. Set net.discoverable to False in settings and disable the Web GUI to mitigate security vulnerabilities that were later discovered. You can grab the installer from the wayback machine, as it has it cached. Just navigate to a close date past the release date noted earlier. You can check which version you have downloaded by checking the file's properties, in the details tab.

For Android torrent clients, see: Mobile Apps & Cracked App Markets

► Download Managers

These are useful for DDL sites. Download managers such as these are meant to help to speed up downloads, typically by increasing the number of connections to the server or attempting to split the download into chunks. They are also especially handy when grabbing multiple links at once, which is typical with DDL sites, where they'll split up large downloads into multiple small .rar parts, as well as bypassing captchas and eliminating the risks of clicking on the wrong download button on various file hosts. They also help with resuming paused or timed out downloads which your browser may not be able to do in some cases.

  • JDownloader2 - Download manager that supports downloading from a variety of file-hosts. Supports downloading video from many websites.
  • Internet Download Manager (IDM) - Paid download manager that supports downloading from a variety of file-hosts. Supports downloading video from many websites. Use the free trial, then when the trial is nearing its end, simply reset the trial with this. Alternative method here.
  • XTREME download manager - Another very nice download manager
  • pyLoad - Lightweight download manager written in python. Managed through a WEB UI.
  • aria2 - Commandline-based download utility.

  • tomato.to - Stock photo downloader. Shutterstock, getty, adobestock, etc.
  • calameodownload.com - A free online tool for downloading any public Calameo document as images or optimized PDF

 

► File Sharing

 

► File Renaming

  • [Paid] Filebot - Media renaming program (license runs at $6/year). Renames to a proper user-set naming scheme from typical naming conventions found on torrents (ie. Movie.Name.2005.1080p.BluRay.DD5.x264). Sea-faring version.
  • Rename My TV Series 2 - Same concept as filebot, but free.
  • AdvancedRenamer - Same concept as filebot, but free.
  • TheRenamer - Same concept as filebot, but free.

 

► Download Services

Some DDL sites may only offer downloads through premium links, meaning the download will be available through a file host which would lock the download unless you paid a subscription to said file host. The prices can be a bit extravagant, especially when you consider that many DDL sites may use different file hosts, so it would not be feasible to pay for multiple of those subscriptions.

  • seedr.cc - Free seedbox that allows you to download torrents up to 2 GiB in size. If you wish to go premium, avoid buying from seedr - they are way overpriced. Just check /r/seedboxes for alternative paid seedboxes.
  • [Paid] real-debrid.com - Online leeching service that will download from torrents and premium hosts, such as rapidgator, uploaded, etc. for you to later download directly from their servers. In regards to torrenting, it's a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent's swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters.
  • [Paid] mega-debrid.eu - Same concept as real-debrid
  • [Paid] alldebrid.com - Same concept as real-debrid
  • [Paid] premiumize.me - Same concept as real-debrid + downloads from usenet as well

  • Free Premium Leechers List - Free link generators for premium file hosts. Maintained by u/H1dd3nM1nd
  • reevown.com - This is a "Free download service with which you can perform premium downloads".

  • subscene.com - Multilingual subtitles for movies/series
  • addic7ed.com - Multilingual subtitles for movies/series

GAMES

⚠️ Use an adblocker like uBlock Origin before visiting any of the linked sites.

⚠️ First and foremost, stay away from The Pirate Bay. Reason: malware-filled shithole. Read the section at the bottom for more info.

 

► Introduction

  • Check the FAQ page for some frequently-asked game-related questions
  • EMPRESS releases to 1337x
  • The sites described below as having Scene releases will contain releases from the Scene groups CODEX, CPY, SKIDROW, HOODLUM, RELOADED, SiMPLEX, DARKSiDERS, PLAZA, etc. What is "The Scene"?
  • The sites labeled REPACKS are for releases that have been repacked from the original (pirated) release (whether it is a Scene, P2P, or GOG release). The intent of a repack is to provide one-click, pre-cracked installations as well as smaller filesizes, and in many cases, also provide DLCs included in the installation as an All-In-One package. Not to be confused with The Scene's definition of REPACK
  • To check if a game has been cracked by the Scene, jump to the Scene Tracer section on the Megathread's Tools page. For a general overview of Scene game releases: https://predb.ovh/?q=%40cat%20games
  • Cracked game downloads will always have a readme *.txt or *.nfo file containing instructions. If you need further assistance, visit /r/CrackSupport
  • For more news of game releases (Scene as well as P2P), visit /r/CrackWatch. For more subreddits, such as Console hacking, ROM piracy, etc, visit the Related Subreddits page

► Miscellaneous

 

► Private trackers

Intro to private trackers

  • Gazellegames.net (GGn) - Best source for games for enthusiasts. Carries games from basically any console. Can be joined through RED
  • PixelCove - Another pretty great source of games for the enthusiast crowd.
  • TorrentLeech - One of the largest general private trackers
  • alpharatio.cc - A general private tracker focused on scene releases. Inferior in content compared to other general trackers like IPT, TL, FL etc but has a very strong request section. Great for requests for which personalised trackers don't exist or aren't good enough. Can be joined through MAM and RED during AR's global invites period, keep an eye out
  • Filelist - One of the largest general private trackers. Romanian tracker, but media content will typically include dual language audio (English and Romanian).
  • IPTorrents - The largest general private tracker

 

► Do Not Use ⚠️

Untrusted sites, release groups & repackers

  • The Pirate Bay / TPB - Do not use the pirate bay or any of its mirrors to download games/software. High malware risk, even from skulled users
  • Kickass Torrents / KAT - Kat went down in 2016. Don't rely on any supposed mirrors floating around.
  • BBRepacks - BlackBox Repacks impersonator. Malware in the Doom Eternal repack posted on TPB and 1337x
  • Qoob / Seyter - Qoob is the name that Seyter switched to after having been caught adding a bitcoin miner to his JC3 repack. More info on Qoob
  • CorePack - Malware in a long list of their releases. Some background. Their official statement
  • Ocean Of Games - Malware risk and past history of coin miners included in their installers
  • NosTEAM - Shitty blog site with shoddy ads. Torrent downloads are handled by an intermediary ~3 MiB executable file: the epitome of shady behavior.
  • igg-games.com / pcgamestorrents.com / gamestorrent.co - These are not recommended on this subreddit as trusted sites for various reasons, but the main reasons why igg-games is not recommended is due to their history of shady behavior, such as including their own form of DRM into their .dll files, another one (some extra background info), and overall dickish behavior by the owner/admins.
  • Any website using the name of a Scene group (such as CODEX, CPY, SKIDROW, HOODLUM, RELOADED, SiMPLEX, DARKSiDERS, PLAZA, etc.). Scene groups do not have public websites. If you find a site using the name of a scene group, they are impersonators. Beware of these sites as they tend to package their releases with malware (3 notable exceptions are skidrowreloaded.com, skidrowrepacks.com, and skidrowcodex.net, which are fine to use, though they are still impostor sites). What is "The Scene"?
  • Any site you find on Google by searching for "free game downloads", "cracked games", etc. Google de-lists piracy websites from its search results, which means that fake / impostor / malware-spreading sites will float to the top of the search results.
  • Any "cracked games" site or download you find on Youtube
  • Any aggregator site like snowfl or DHT crawler like btdb, btdig, etc. Not because the sites intend to infect you with malware, but because their intent is to aggregate as many publicly available torrents as possible into one place. This can include torrents that have been posted to TPB or otherwise spread publicly via the DHT network. You should only grab games from sites that take a personal hand in adding content (excludes sites that auto-post scene releases, in which case they would need to be vetted to make sure that their posts are real scene releases) rather than automatically aggregating from hundreds of unknown sites.

  Download Managers

These are useful for DDL sites. Download managers such as these are meant to help to speed up downloads, typically by increasing the number of connections to the server or attempting to split the download into chunks. They are also especially handy when grabbing multiple links at once, which is typical with DDL sites, where they'll split up large downloads into multiple small .rar parts, as well as bypassing captchas and eliminating the risks of clicking on the wrong download button on various file hosts. They also help with resuming paused or timed out downloads which your browser may not be able to do in some cases.

  • JDownloader2 - Download manager that supports downloading from a variety of file-hosts. Supports downloading video from many websites.
  • Internet Download Manager (IDM) - Paid download manager that supports downloading from a variety of file-hosts. Supports downloading video from many websites. Use the free trial, then when the trial is nearing its end, simply reset the trial with this. Alternative method here.
  • XTREME download manager - Another very nice download manager
  • pyLoad - Lightweight download manager written in python. Managed through a WEB UI.
  • aria2 - Commandline-based download utility.

Introduction to private trackers

  • PassThePopcorn (PTP) - Movies tracker. Best source for movies, period. Couple of unique features -

!* The amount of active fleshed out collections available to discover content to watch. It's often better than some legit sites dedicated to this stuff.

!* High quality encodes. Many torrents are marked Golden Popcorn (GP). They are best of the best encodes. It is like Oscars but for encodes.

Currently it is not possible to join PTP unless you know someone who has an account there and can invite you. The best strategy suggested is to reach as high of a user class you can reach on RED as feasibly possible. This will increase chances when PTP starts recruiting again. In the meantime you can join SC, BHD, BLU etc and make requests there

  • HD-Torrents (HDT) - Movies/TV tracker. Focuses on HD content only. This tracker is great for HD movies though not as good as PTP. Specialty lies in allowing of multiple untouched material of the same movie, which helps in getting those foreign languages, different audio/video quality, or even different content in audio/videos. Slightly superior to PTP in this regard. Can be joined through RED or you can just pay for an account through their website. (Note - Only buy the account from their own website, not a 3rd party)
  • pixelhd.me - Movies tracker. Known for producing small sized encodes. PxHD Mobies - 720p/AAC/mp4 at 1.5-2GB (esp. for Mobile Devices); PxHD/PxEHD - 1080p/AC3/mp4 at 4GB and 8GB; and PxHDA - 1080p/DTS/ at "whatever size is necessary" for high transparency (usually 6-12gb).
  • uhdbits.org - Movies tracker. Produces small-sized "micro-HD" encodes. Gives annoying tests to members to keep accounts.
  • beyond-hd.me - Movies/TV tracker. Focuses on HD content only. Home of the famous FRaMeSToR remux group.
  • TV Chaos UK - TV tracker. Great site for UK TV content. Best joined through requesting on /r/invites (proof of ratio from other sites required). Quality lacks a bit so use it with a TV tracker like BTN to get the most of UK content
  • Broadcast the Net (BTN) - TV tracker. Best source for TV related content, period. Currently this tracker is not recruiting anywhere but it is recommended to join PTP where BTN will recruit again in the future
  • TV Vault (TVV) - TV tracker. Best private tracker for old TV shows. Best way to join it is through MAM.
  • More Than TV (MTV) - Movies/TV tracker. 2nd best private tracker for TV after BTN. Retention is not good but with a strong request section, this is not an issue. Can be joined through RED
  • asiancinema.me - Movies/TV tracker. A neat little tracker for Asian content.
  • AvistaZ - Movies/TV tracker. One of the best places for Asian (mainly Japan, South Korea, China etc) movies and TV shows. Best place for Korean dramas. Easiest way to join is through application on their site. Also one of the few top trackers that have open signups from time to time.
  • Blutopia - Movies/TV tracker. Very nice tracker for Movies and TV. Like other private trackers, you can make the most of it through the use of its request section. As SD encodes are not allowed on this tracker, it is a great source for untouched DVDs, especially if you aren't in top trackers yet
  • animebytes.tv - Anime tracker. The most complete anime tracker.
  • TorrentLeech - General scene tracker. One of the largest general private trackers
  • alpharatio.cc - A general private tracker focused on scene releases. Inferior in content compared to other general trackers like IPT, TL, FL etc but has a very strong request section. Great for requests for which personalised trackers don't exist or aren't good enough. Can be joined through MAM and RED during AR's global invites period, keep an eye out
  • Filelist - One of the largest general private trackers. Romanian tracker, but media content will typically include dual language audio (English and Romanian).
  • IPTorrents - The largest general private tracker

Intro to private trackers

  • Chimera - Supports downloading music from multiple platforms.
  • Soulseek - Desktop app that connects you to a P2P network used for downloading music (any format). Unlike bittorrent, the protocol used here is direct P2P i.e. downloading and uploading is not done with multiple users simultaneously but with a single user (like downloading a file from a website). This provides more security than public trackers as there is no swarm for copyright trolls to stay in and monitor. Though there is no quality control here, the chances of encountering low quality files is still quite low. For people wanting to share their libraries, soulseek is the easiest and fastest way.
