igg-games has been caught bundling malware and miners before, 1337x isn't moderated for shit, torrentfreak is a news site, jesus christ don't use pirate bay what the fuck is wrong with you, but otherwise solid points.

soulseek is lit, nyaa is legit, and for all else !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the megathread @ https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10901

[-] Furball@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

That’s not even the right url for 1337x

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

the right URL btw is 1337x.to

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

it's one of the mirrors, but yeah.

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Y no piratebay tho?

[-] themagzuz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

not moderated, so people often post malware there iirc

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

1337x is compromised, nobody should use them at all anymore

I don't know exactly how defederation works, but the megathread is currently hosted on Rentry in case you cannot view the piracy community link in app/website while signed in.

rentry(dot)com(slash)negathread

Be warned, though, that it could change if any government or corporation or whatever decides to go after it just because there are links to piracy sites.

If you think any of these mistakes are an accident, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s an intentional shit post.

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I never thought I’d see the day where someone used too when they meant to. It’s always the other way around.

It hurt my eyes reading this mess.

[-] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago

general tip; use fitgirl rather than igg

[-] bizzle@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Why?

[-] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

IGG has a reputation for putting malware in their cracks, whereas fitgirl has been a reputable repacker for years and uses safe cracks, they also warn you if there are issues with that particular crack they repacked

[-] bizzle@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Soulseek...

Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Next you're gonna tell me Limewire still going or is it GNUtella now? I forgot I'm old and brain not worky right.

[-] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Soulseek is still a banger

[-] Meanshadows35@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually just switched from soulseek to Nicotine +. Itsna fork of soulseek but updated more frequently.

[-] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but soulseek is the network, soulseekqt is ehat you migrated from

[-] Meanshadows35@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I did not know that at all!

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

limewire ran on the gnutella network

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yep I remember that cuz I was getting into open source at the time and that's when I found out GNU had a Limewire client and that's how I used it in SuSE Linux (boxed distro, pre-Novell). I got my pirate copy of WineX from it lol

I bet gnutella is just malware now. You had to double check file sizes cuz there was a lot of 18kb files with the same name as exes and popular MP3 tracks.
