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.
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
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?
for books, IRC is a very good source. you can use use this guide to download stuff just make sure to use hexchat instead of mIRC. I see you didn't include links for mobile apps, some good ones are, moddedcentral on telegram, mobilism and filecr (also has PC apps), 4pda is also good if you can manage to make an account there 😅
Thanks! I will add a mobile section. I specifically didn't because I honestly don't fully trust most of the links I have collected for mobile. I'll post those I at least trust.
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
If your looking for a music tracker, the best private tracker for flac files is redacted. they have a huge collection. its a private tracker but its pretty easy to get on as long as you care about music.
Not sure I'd say RED is easy to get into... and its definitely not for newbies to private trackers. I'd suggest Orpheus as being easier to get into, more welcoming to newbies... and easier to maintain ratio.
Seriously, setting up streaming with Real Debrid and Kodi add-ons was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have gotten through a huge chunk of my watch-list since.
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.
