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!

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

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

[–] DudePluto@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
