Basically saying you download either Wireguard or OpenVPN (from their official websites) and download a config from airvpn, then load that config into either WG or OpenVPN depending on what you got.

1337x has roms. r/128bitbay is yuzu/ryujinx piracy subreddit.

Most likely. Plex is closed source.

People don’t like this answer, but buying invites. Theyre cheap, but don’t know where to get them anymore. Be careful for scams.

There’s an app on the playstore called “datmusic”. It’s $6 or so and rips music from Deezer @ 320kbps to full on lossless FLAC. No subscription is needed unless you want to download an entire playlist.

It feels and looks like Spotify to me, just without the subscription part.

And how ass the buffering can be at times too. I’ve switched to stremio for the family, and torrent movies I want to see offline.

Thank you for this, I’ll look into this a little more before buying something !

Oh, no. I’m not ignoring the other options, just wanted to make a clear example, as bad as it was haha. I just like small sizes since quality isn’t the highest priority of mine, just like how I love FLACs and cannot deal with 320mp3.

Any IPTV recommendations?

• I love yts because of the small sizes. I don’t care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.

More information about this premiumize? First time hearing about it.

Only Proton should be recommended for torrenting since it has port-forwarding. I don’t know why people love suggesting these even without port-forwarding.

Yes, because their ads are served on the same server (googlevideo.com iirc) as the actual videos. Blocking that domain would block the videos too.

Doubt they will, it’s part of their core “attributes” if you will. Theyve been caught doing a lot of shady shit too. Personally, I would avoid them, but to each their own.

I don’t watch it though, it’s simply recommended, as I mentioned in my comment.

Tutanota and mailbox.org work with Rutracker

Not really, it’s just becoming way more popular. I’ve seen (been recommended) 25+ videos all on the steam deck this month alone. There’s a shit ton more compatibility with games, custom OSs, etc, which also adds to the numbers. It’s literally the Nintendo switch, but 100x better + it can play switch games too.

It’s 100% fair of you to be suspicious of these crazy increases, but you have to keep in mind it’s literally the only good and affordable option in this type of gaming. Sure, you have Nintendo switch, but it has ass performance on a lot of 1st party games (TOTK 20fps in some areas…). The steam deck is also easily fixable (diy repairs such as a battery replacement) and easy to maintain. The switch, on the other hand, is almost like apple with their “right to repair” stuff, and you cannot upgrade the inner components (like ssd, battery, etc) - only by adding a micro SD card can the storage increase… To each their own.

totally forgot that they shutdown. thanks man, really sad indeed.

Check the megathread man!! Has all the info you need. But here’s a quick summary

There’s generally 2 routes of pirating video games (on windows), and those are either Torrenting or Direct Downloading

1. Torrenting

• Torrenting uses the bittorrent protocol to share files p2p, meaning it is direct IP connections. Torrenting a copyrighted file (such as a movie, cracked game, etc) can be illegal depending on your country. Usually, in first-world countries it is illegal, while in 3rd world/developing countries they could care less. This all depends on your country, research it first. To avoid any legal issues (in countries where this applies) people use VPNs (virtual private networks) to mask their IP from people who want to report you to your ISP.
• The torrent indexer I recommend for games would be 1337x.to since they are heavily moderated and have a low chance of having malware inside the file.
• A torrent client I recommend : qBittorrent
• VPNs are to be taken with a grain of salt. Many VPNs pay for reviews and have horrible software and/or privacy policies. I would recommend you stay clear of any popular VPN which is recommended on youtube videos, podcasts or billboards; they have the scummiest advertising methods, lack essential features and sometimes are owned by ex-adware companies (such as NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, ExpressVPN, Atlas VPN, Private Internet Access, Cyberghost, etc).

2. Direct Downloading (Commonly referred to as DDL for short, which I will be using.)

• DDL consists of downloading files from file hosting websites, such as mega, zippyshare, google drive, 1fichier, etc. You will want to use this method if you either cannot torrent in your country (meaning it’s illegal) and do not want to invest into a VPN to hide your torrenting business.
• The easiest way to download games through DDL would be with fitgirl (fitgirl-repacks.site). Simply download the files through the DDL mirrors, extract together, run setup, wait, and there you go. Takes a long time to install with a bad CPU, but it is very easy.
• If you cannot find the game you’re looking for on fitgirl’s website, the next best option for DDL would have to be https://cs.rin.ru. It has a learning curve if you have no experience with cracking/pirating, but easily learnable.
