Hello! To start my attempt at not lurking I am posting a link to the collection of links I have from Reddit regarding various Piracy sites. Please keep in mind this is my personal collection. You should ABSOLUTELY vet the links yourself. I am just a guy on the internet, I am not a trusted source. This is not a complete list. This is just the sites I refer to for their specific category. I’ve omitted a fair bit too since the megathreads / link collections have them already too.
If you have other good sources, be sure to share!

Do you not worry about getting viruses and what not when doing that? Or do you have a list of trusted users, that are the only ones you download from?

Thanks for the response! I had a look at it, and it seems really good, but I would be quite worried about viruses, simply because this is just straight up P2P, with no verification. It’s great, but I can’t trust it. I didn’t even consider the pedo aspect of this. I’d very much like to avoid it if I can just happen upon shit like that.
Soulseek is still active? I thought it died with KaZaA and Morpheus.
Yup, Ive used Nicotine+ recently to snag a few songs
Don’t know if it’s already been posted, but I really enjoy vimm’s lair for finding old faves to play (Secret of Mana, anyone?) 🥰
It’s too slow in my experience, try edgeemu, for instance. CDromance is pretty fast also, and this place is quite useful too: https://r-roms.github.io/
You’re right, it’s not the fastest, but it’s a great place to browse for random lesser known games, they have just about everything. Cheers!
I highly recommend Anna’s Archive for anyone who’s looking for books.
Thank you for resources?
Noob question: How would I go about vetting the links/downloads?
Also, how do I safely download from these sites? I’ve been using a VPN (mullvad) for a couple years now, but is that enough?
I’m pretty tech savvy but I have never needed to download, but I just don’t want to install origin, Uplay, EA, or any other launcher to play a single player game and tbh I don’t want to support those companies at all
Also, how do I safely download from these sites?
I thought there was a mirror on lemmy for r/piracy’s spectacular megathread but I don’t see it. Rough guides from a semi-noob:
Direct download:
-
TOR with Ublock Origin add-on
-
After downloading your file, upload it to virustotal.com and scan it. If it passes you’re probably pretty safe.
Torrent:
-
Find and copy your file magnet in TOR.
-
Turn on VPN.
-
Open qbittorrent with your connection bound to your VPN’s network.
-
Paste your magnet link when it prompts you and download.
-
Once it’s done downloading, upload it to virustotal to scan it.
Why could you not just find the magnet link with VPN on? Just trying to understand why that should be done via TOR
There’s controversy over whether VPN + TOR is a good combo. Some say it’s an added layer of anonymity, others say it could be decreasing anonymity because your VPN could be logging your traffic. Some also say the two don’t mesh well. But honestly the juries out so everyone should probably come to their own conclusion
I’ve just always been of the mindset that pirating is so low on the feds radar that even if a VPN is tracking or even if they’re a honeypot it’s not like the government agencies are going to expose that by coming after some low level pirate. That said I’m not super active anymore and I always look for VPN’s who at least claim to not track.

My first Lemmy post! Has anyone found any good trash TV sources? I’ve had to resort to streaming sites like soap and the like. Can’t stand the stuff myself, but gotta keep the missus happy so I can keep home labbing :D
Flixtor is my favorite
Great recommendation. I’ve combined Flixtor with Downie to satisfy my partner’s need for trashy TV romance movies!
Thanks! Will check that one out. Wish there was an easy way to rip in bulk from these sites :)
PDFdrive is an okay website, but it’s very weak in regards to finding books, especially because it specializes in PDFs, which are very bad for reading. They’re meant for documents, not books. But in general, the books you find there are messy and inconsistent. You’re much better off going with a place like libgen.gs.
Excellent list! Thank you very much for this! I’d add these ones for general use, i use them to find Movies, TV and Music:
[https://torrentgalaxy.to/] (Torrent Galaxy)
[https://bitsearch.to/] (Bitsearch)
Taking a quick look at TG… rules say nothing about maintaining a ratio. And I can’t see anything in my account about it… its effectively a ratio free public torrent site? Same as TPB and 1337?
Thanks so much for this list!
Zamunda is much more than Linux games, it has everything with mostly good seeds
Real Debrid is also a game changer
Yes
Looking for an NZB tracker w/ Switch roms
Also cmacked for macOS software
I wonder if activity pub based tracker would be good (so - part of fediverse)
Torrents 🤢🤢🤢… I’m surprised people still use them without going through I2P.
I’ve heard bflix has the movie+tv show goodies.
Companies deliberately keep their stuff extremely expensive and backdoor these pirated stuff to backdoor your devices legally! Switch to libre stuff!
lmao moron
