  • Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with these optimized settings (Blocks advertisements & malware).
  • Change your DNS settings to one of these great choices (Bypasses website access limitations).
  • Use a reputable torrent client with a kill switch, such as qBittorrent (Allows torrenting).
  • Set up a VPN such as Mullvad or ProtonVPN (Changes IP address to hide identity).
  • Bind your torrent client to the VPN (Only allows torrenting when VPN is active).

โš ๏ธ โžœ Uncertainty

  • Any links that are not included in the entire Megathread have either not been approved by the moderators or the community, or have been deleted at some point. In other words, use extra caution anytime you sail in uncharted waters.
  • That said, as times change, so do the currents. What is seen as a safe route to great treasures now may soon be a shell of its former self or even be riddled with the black plague.

Im so confused as to why this is titled "Lemmy Edition" but all the hyperlinks lead back to the privated reddit sub. Maybe I'm missing something. I'll just stick to the rentry link but I'd think it's better off to just remove this to avoid confusion.

hello, comrades. thanks a lot for your effort. just to be sure, is this community maintained by the same staff from r/Piracy? i deleted my Reddit account months ago and i can't check it out myself... ^^U

I was the top mod in /r/piracy, so ye

aa, thank you for replying and confirming! :)

Myself I moved here only and don't plan to keep /r/piracy alive. However some other mods are dedicated to being unpaid jannitors for spez, so :shrug:

that's very sad, i'm sorry.

one may feel unsupported because others don't have enough courage to leave Reddit, leaving you alone with this, which perhaphs is more difficult than moderating r/Piracy without mods.

Might even feel outrageous if they joined later only in case Lemmy is a success thanks to the people here, but i don't know.

i find you people very brave and forward-looking, thank you all for your effort <3

One problem. Mullvad, they stopped support for forwarded ports this month.

Ivpn stopped as well. Let's hope this is not a trend..

When reading the reasons of mullvad to stop, my guess is that others will follow

Agreed. I think the only VPN providers that are able to keep offering port forwarding are those that log data and hand it to the authorities.

With mullvad not allowing portforwarding, should we be recommending it?

Came here to post this. If seeding is important to you, and I hope it kinda is, then you need port forwarding. So Mullvad is out, or at least I switched away from it.

Switched to what? Mullvad was a trustworthy reliable staple.

I go with Njalla for torrents until I hear anything weird about them

Seed or die baby

I wonder if they couldn't have just switched to NAT-PMP port forwarding like Proton does.

About port forwarding, is it nessecary to download or just to upload?

I am no expert, but I think it does deal with both? Definitely upload, but I think that if your ports aren't forwarded correctly then you won't get as many download connections?

I've relied on this mega thread for a long time.

Are there any tips to see check if VPN isn't leaking anything when torrenting? Mullvad used to let you check with a magnet link they provided before they got rid of it.

Personally I use the torrent ip check on ipleak.net. You just add the magnet to your client and it'll fail itself and then list the ip on the site.

Thank you for keeping the internet alive and well, comrades.

Be sure to save our Megathread for future reference without relying on Reddit.

Bit of a mute point now, isn't it? :)

Canโ€™t figure out how to โ€˜saveโ€™ a post in the wefwef app. Anyone?

If you work it out lemme know, the โ€œbookmarkโ€, it does nothing!โ€

can you add some "otherlanguages" section? or some trusted websites for keygens, also for the italian piracy site, theres a list with some of the italian most famous websites, both torrent and emule.

https://rentry.co/italian-piracy-resources https://rentry.co/the-italian-corsairs

Please type the section in markdown in a comment and I'll add it. If it's getting too long comparatively to the others, paste it instead in rentry.org and give me a link

how do i mark ? also uhm, they both are in rentry

how do you "mark"? You mean how you use markdown formatting?

Could you ammend the reddit links to point to old.reddit? The new design is just bad to look at.

The links under section 1 link to Reddit, may be an idea to host those elsewhere?

EDIT: I missed the link at the bottom, looks like it's all on rentry.co

The rentry link at the end has everything mirrored

Other Languages

Italian

Italy Piracy Resources A GOATED Italian piracy websites collection, usually for movies that are HD/4K, torrent emule and streaming, USUALLY DUAL LANGUAGE SO PERFECT FOR EVEN ENGLISH PEOPLE specifically now since rarbg is ded

The Italian Resources A Alternative GOATED Italian piracy websites collection, usually for movies that are HD/4K also has books, torrent emule and streaming, USUALLY DUAL LANGUAGE SO PERFECT FOR EVEN ENGLISH PEOPLE specifically now since rarbg is ded

Do you mean like this marked? i also did the section stuff

Why most of the links redirect to reddit? I dont want to open that website.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this community on social.fossware.space before? Anyone know what happened?

I'm particularly interested because my main Lemmy account was on the fossware instance which seems to have disappeared overnight. Not sure if it's just temporarily down, or was moved here. I definitely can't log in to lemmy.dbzer0.com as my old account.

Not sure where best to post this question because the dbzer0 instance doesn't seem to have a meta community

Edit: looks like c/div0 might be the meta community

No this community has always been here. There is another in !piracy@lemmy.ml but it's a different community

Thanks! I'll keep a lookout on news of what happened to fossware (probably just down for server issues)

Can XDCC / IRC be added to the megathread?

Hey all, so about 10ish years ago I used to torrent a few things, nothing heavy like games or programs but just TV shows and what not. I got burned pretty bad, had my computer compromised and files encrypted. I was able to salvage most of my rig but a lot of pictures and files were lost to the ether. I want to get back into this but understandably I'm pretty concerned about it. Any tips on getting safely back into sailing the seas?

update: ripped.guide has returned to normalcy...

their domain seems to have been hijacked by a disgruntled former staff member who deliberately ruined the site. maybe you could add the site back? it was quite a useful resource.

Is there a place, where I could find articles from media like WSJ, NYT, WP and other text content hidden behind paywalls?

Can ROMs be extracted from fitgirl repacks? I searched this question, and it pointed me to the Reddit MEGAthread. I found that through here, but I still can't find an answer. Thanks!

the first optimized settings image dont load

Sorry if this is not the place, but I've seen that pretty much all games from gog-games get flagged by the same vendor, I suppose that is a false positive?

Or is that website not recommend anymore?

if it doesn't give a reason, it probably just trips on something common between all of the installers, the actual installing part

Hey. I'm a noob pretty much. I was wondering if there is a way to test out TomTom Live traffic services on my Tomtom Rider 50. I bought it used, there's an account on it. I'm scared if I reset it, that the map will be gone. And that's 50โ‚ฌ. I didn't find anything so far. Only thing I find is the apk for the mobile app, but nothing for the actual satnav

What are folks using to search these days? Google has become a proprietary mess and searches yield results in cookie cutout websites who all have the same format.

Is the Android Streaming Apps section of the wiki up to date? I was using cinema hd for a while, just downloaded cloudstream3 and now I'm wondering if there are better resources out there. I'm a streaming noob

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find Italian dubbed tv shows? I'm looking for old simpsons in particular.

How do I move my subscription past the pending status?

Your subscription to /c/piracy? That's a fediverse thing. I suspect lemmy.ml is overloaded again

No, my subscription to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. I've been able to sub to other instance's communities fine in general. In this case I wondered if it required approval because I see this:

It will resove itself eventually, you don't need to do anything. It's likely your server was overloaded at the time, and added your subscribe request to a queue.
