Notes on software and sites to avoid:

If you have any critique or suggestions you would like to see added to the Megathread, or would like to be granted contribution privileges, send us a mod mail here.

 

► PRIVACY/SECURITY

As a precursor, read our entry regarding copyright infringement complaints: "Will I get in trouble for downloading this? How does my ISP know what I download? -- All about copyright infringement complaints and what to do if you've received one and preventing further notices."

VPNs

 

Adblockers & useful extensions

Useful userscripts

  • AdsBypasser to skip countdown ads or continue pages and prevent ad pop-up windows.

  • AntiAdware to avoid installing unwanted applications downloading with legitimate software (e.g. McAfee with Adobe Flash)

  • Get DLC Info From SteamDB automatically creates a DLC list for tools such as CreamAPI, GreenLuma and SmartSteamEmu.

 

► TORRENT CLIENTS

  • Tixati - extremely customizable. All menus can be rearranged and color scheme can be changed completely. Many private trackers however may not permit this client to be used.

  • Qbittorrent - free open-sourced client. No ads and has a built-in search feature that searches popular public trackers. Consistently updated.

  • Transmission - popular macOS and unix torrent client. Has windows builds as well. Extremely lightweight client.

  • Deluge - similar to qbittorrent with a different UI some may find clunky.

  • BiglyBT - open source, ad-free, bittorrent client.

  • 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.

 

► MOVIES/TV SHOWS

   Make sure your adblocker is on. uBlock Origin is recommended - Firefox - Chrome

Torrents

  • RARBG.to - One of the most organized public trackers, gets new content very quickly. Can search by IMDB tags (eg. tt0258038, appearing in IDMB URLs)

  • TorrentGalaxy.to - Another highly recommended site for movies & TV.

  • ettv.to

  • Zooqle.com - Easy to use torrent site

  • 1337x.to - Useful for older movies/shows that may not be available in the previous 2 sites. Cams are typically uploaded here as well.

  • rutracker.org [.org, .net, .nl] - The best general tracker from Russia and arguably the best one overall. It's great for niche movies, especially from Russia and other east European countries.

  • hevcbay.com - Tiny-sized x265 (re-)encodes

  • psarips.com - Small-sized x265 (re-)encodes

For hard-to-find content, you might want to give these torrent search engines a shot. They will list all DHT-tracked torrents.

Private torrent trackers

Intro to private trackers

  • PassThePopcorn (PTP) - A private tracker; best source for movies, period. Can be joined by becoming Elite on RED. Though this requires a fair amount of patience as the age of account on RED needs to be at least 1 year. Refer to the FAQ for more info.

  • HD-Torrents (HDT) - This private 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)

  • TV Chaos UK - 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) - A private 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) - Best private tracker for old TV shows. Best way to join it is through MAM.

  • More Than TV (MTV) - 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

  • AvistaZ - 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.

 

Sports

  • footybite.com - Live streams. Soccer

  • /r/mmafights - Yes

  • nflbite.com - Football

  • sportsurge.net - Live streams. MMA, boxing, basketball, football

  • /r/rugbystreams - Links posted within the hour before the match

  • bilasport.net - Live streams. Basketball, hockey, football, baseball, soccer, MMA.

► SOFTWARE

  • Avoid the pirate bay, it is filled to the brim with malware torrents. Skulled users are not trustworthy either.

    • rutracker.org (torrents) [.org, .net, .nl] - Amazing tracker for software (ie. your most desired graphics/music/video software, including plugins for them, etc.). Torrents will be checked by staff for validity.

    • rarbg.to - Allows no user uploads. Everything is automated to auto post scene releases, either through a combination of close ties to The Scene or simply re-uploads content from general/0-day private trackers, who themselves have close ties to The Scene. In either situation, it's one of the safer public trackers for software and games.

    • warez-bb.org (DDL) - This one is especially good for PC software. The site is down most of the time though, sadly. Has the highest number of cracked software than any other resource. For larger torrents though, it is recommended to use MOCH (multi one-click hosters) like real-debrid, or you can try the torrents first while keeping the DDL alternatives as a last resort.

    • forums.mydigitallife.net

    • aiowares.com

    • cgpeers.com (torrents, semi-private) - Graphics-related downloads and discussion - 3D/Visual Effects/Computer Graphics/Design/Computer Assisted Art. Registration opens on the 1st and 15th of every month.. User cap reached, now invite-only.

    • cgpersia.com (DDL, semi-private) - Semi-private DDL site. Source for video-software plugins.

    • audioz.download (DDL) - Source for audio software and plugins.

    • gfx-hub.net (DDL) - Source for graphics software and plugins.

    • audionews.org (torrents, semi-private) - Source for audio software and plugins. Open registration every 2nd of the month.

Private torrent trackers

Intro to private trackers

  • MyAnonamouse a.k.a. MAM - One of the 2 biggest private tracker for ebooks/audiobooks. The focus is on the fictional ebooks side unlike libgen though making requests can do the job. Also the best place for audiobooks in numbers though overall quality lacks a little. Similar to libgen, it's also a great place to contribute

  • bibliotik - private tracker for ebooks/audiobooks

► GAMES

Scene groups (such as CODEX, CPY, SKIDROW, etc) do not have official websites. If you find a site using the name of a scene group, they are impersonating them. Beware of these sites as they tend to package their releases with malware.

For PC games piracy news (crack releases, DRM news etc), visit /r/crackwatch

DDL sites (direct download)

  • ovagames.com - Offers Scene game downloads

  • fitgirl-repacks.site - Popular website for highly compressed game repacks -- games can take several hours to install. Only recommended if you have very slow or data-capped internet.

  • Steam Underground - cs.rin.ru - Dedicated game piracy forum. Best parts are the discussion and the different types of tools especially the multiplayer ones. Game links aren't always provided (especially for scene releases; they recommend some external sites in their FAQ) but when they are, they are on free file hosting services like zippyshare so that's another plus. Also includes early access games.

DDL sites (direct download) (Private)

  • forums.snahp.it - One of the best private DDL forums. Used to be public. Links are provided on free hosters

Torrent sites

  • fitgirl-repacks.site - Popular website for highly compressed game repacks -- games can take several hours to install. Only recommended if you have very slow or data-capped internet.

  • gamestorrents.io

  • rutor.info - Game repack site

  • rarbg.to - Yes, they offer game torrents too.

Private trackers

ROMs

 

► MUSIC

  • Deezloader [app - FLAC/mp3] - Download songs from Deezer in 320kbps quality. You can convert your Spotify playlist to a Deezer playlist and download it via Deezloader as well.

  • Soulseek [FLAC/ALAC/mp3/m4a] - P2P network used for music. 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. Unlike other sources (except youtube), there is no quality control though 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.

  • rutracker.org [FLAC/ALAC/m4a/mp3] [.org, .net, .nl] - Russian tracker with an extensive music catalog.

  • Redacted.ch (RED) [FLAC /mp3] - Best music private tracker. Read this to join. One of the harder trackers to maintain ratio on.

  • Orpheus.network [FLAC/mp3] - 2nd best music private tracker, after RED. Much easier ratio economy compared to RED. In addition, there is a thread where you can request any torrent available on RED, without putting a request. This provides full access to RED without the hard economy. It is highly recommended to have accounts on both the trackers

  • Youtube-dl - command-line program to download video/audio from Youtube videos and other sites.

    • Youtube-dl-GUI - GUI for youtube-dl for those not proficient in using the command line.

  • Khinsider - Original game soundtracks/scores.

  • Fildo (Android app) - music streaming and download.

APK (cracked apps and games) download sites

  • empornium.me (EMP) - Has much lower content overall compoared to PL but the biggest strengths are the request section and the amount of amateur content - both better than PL.

Premium Links from file hosts

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 these subscriptions.

To get around this, you can try free premium leech generators or pay for a debrid service, such as real debrid, premiumize, all debrid, etc. which supports downloading from a large list of file hosts, torrents, etc. as an alternative. They essentially act as a middleman, meaning they download the file for you (an automated process), then you download from them. Services like these can be as cheap as 3 USD a month, which can be considered a good tradeoff given the large amount of file hosts they offer downloading from, compared to file host subscription each costing upwards of 10 USD a month.
