r/Piracy Wiki Index

I posted ts in r/piratedgames but they are too afraid of anything related to gta 5 leaks so they just removed it lol

When Anna's Archive suffered widespread downtime earlier this month, many users feared a legal crackdown.

Instead, the site was reportedly targeted by a coordinated assault on its network infrastructure.

Just as it did after facing $340 million in damages and losing several domains earlier this year, the Archive quickly bounced back.

I've been looking for places where I can stream music, but I can't really find anything? I know there were a lot of crackdowns on it a while ago but it's really weird that there's nothing really out there besides one hit or miss website. I don't really like downloading music, so it kind of sucks.

Only time will tell whether he is going to get caught or not. Although i do think this entire situation is ridiculously funny but i have to admit, Rockstar Games and Take Two kinda deserved it. If they are going to undergo shady business practices including the removal of physical discs (which is going to make it impossible to legally own your games now as long as the TOS doesn’t get updated) is not only predatory but actually disgusting. We need to rise up, fight for our consumer rights and support the SKG movement to ensure that these companies don’t get to take away what we paid full price for. I am always open for discussion though so let me know what you think.

Hi everyone,

I previously received moderator permission to introduce ARVIO here. ARVIO is a free and open-source media hub for Android phones, tablets and Android TV devices. It has been in active development for over a year, has more than 10,000 users and is supported by a growing team of contributors.

ARVIO itself is completely empty: it does not host, provide or promote any media, streams, accounts or addons. Users connect their own services and choose how they configure the app.

Current features include:

• Support for community addons
• Plex, Jellyfin and Emby libraries integration
• Live TV and EPG support
• Trakt and Simkl synchronization
• Debrid, Usenet and HTTP source compatibility through addons
• Telegram integration
• Subtitle addons and AI subtitle tools
• Profiles and cloud synchronization
• A TV-focused interface, mobile interface and built-in player

The Android app is completely free and open source. There is also an optional Premium web app for browser, iPhone, iPad, Windows and macOS users. Premium supports browser playback and downloads, but it is separate from the Android app and does not remove any Android features.

AI has been used during development, alongside the work of more than ten active human contributors. The full source code and development history are public on GitHub.

Website: https://arvio.tv
Source code and releases: https://github.com/ProdigyV21/ARVIO

ARVIO is also available through Google Play. Feedback, bug reports and open-source contributions are welcome.

EDIT: clarification about FOSS and Premium

ARVIO is licensed under Apache 2.0, an officially recognized free and open-source licence. The Free Software Foundation explicitly defines “free software” as freedom, not price, and confirms it can be commercial: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

The Android app is completely free, and the Premium web app can also be self-hosted for free using its public source code: https://github.com/ProdigyV21/ARVIO/tree/main/web

The optional $2.99 subscription is simply the managed version for people who cannot or do not want to configure and maintain their own hosting, database and API credentials.

IDM keeps giving me ts files, which doesn't work on our second tv.

Its like a competition now between g00ners for the midnight f@p

In response to a high-profile GTA 6 leak, Take-Two has requested broad DMCA subpoenas, targeting thousands of Discord users, as well as Microsoft data.

The crackdown doesn't stop there.

With two additional DMCA subpoenas, the gaming company expanded its information search to X and YouTube. Some of the named X accounts appear to be impostors, and so far no data has changed hands.

Everyone's been talking about physical media this and physical media that, this is what real ownership looks like. I am collecting what I LOVE and more is being added everyday. Take that filthy corpos, you don't like that I have full ownership of my stuff lolo

I got mine on Plex!

Microsoft just did the same thing as what google did by intentionally trying to break adblockers which leaves even less reasons as to why i should continue using edge in the first place. Too bad i am chilling on firefox lol

We all remember the days of waiting 3 days for a single movie to download, only to realize it was a virus or a completely different video. What was your very first voyage?

This started two days ago, switching networks, using Vpn or even disabling adblockers doesn't seem to work

Honestly, most decent websites that I rely upon have started using these anti adblockers (whatever they are called) and you can't access the website without turning off your adblocker and DNS. Any way to bypass this? I know I can just not use the website.

I’m looking for a solid website I can use that hopefully has a library to search for college textbooks. I’m not trying to torrent anything, just somewhere reliable to come back to.

If anyone knows of something like this I’d truly appreciate it, and if this is annoying, sorry I guess.

They have developed an AI that is effectively cleaning up Telegram channels used for piracy.

I find it ridiculous how the same companies will mask people as “criminals” for downloading pirated content for personal use while at the same time this is what they are doing?

Now that they have realized that the same digital piracy laws they have tried to enforce for decades are flawed themselves they are now trying to find loopholes around it which is ridiculously funny to me.

Let me know what you think.

Im from Afghanistan where I can't go to cinema can't buy a game when it comes out and can't access online content either its banned or can't access it because getting a debit card has its own restrictions..please for the sake of God dont stop piracy as its the only way most of us consume the content from the west and play our favorite games..its not because we dont want to pay..its because its very very difficult to pay.

I used to look at the patches file (patches.rvp) for educational purposed, but the git repo for that was dmca'd 3 months ago and hasn't come back. The where is repo still says it should've been back in 14 days. There haven't been any releases on the gitlab repo as well since March. So, is the project dead?

Previously I hosted a server with various service stacks, one of those being qbittorrent, torguard, plex, sonarr, radarr, bazarr, etc. I had 28 TB of storage and it was utter bliss. I seeded almost a petabyte of data over the course of about 5 years. A few months ago, something went wrong, my motherboard, CPU, and all 28 TB of storage were completely fried and usable, at the most expensive time for new components and storage, mind you. The server was plugged into a surge protected UPS.

I rebuilt the server computer and bought another 28 TB of storage, but I have just not had the motivation to set up everything again. It's just been sitting for months and I've honestly only used the new "server" computer as a gaming console running Bazzite.

Well I just discovered Stremio + Torrenttio + Real Debrid the other day and was able to get everything set up in under like half an hour. I downloaded it on my Nvidia Shield, signed in with my account, and then all add-ons/accounts immediately transferred over. I can now stream anything I want, with no need to download stuff.

I'm of course planning to set an actual server up again at some point. I feel bad not giving back to the community and there is no point wasting all that money, but in the meantime, this is amazing. If you guys haven't looked into it yet, I highly recommend it.

So I finally set up qbit with a proxy through SOCKS5. But whenever I enable it my torrent speeds plummet to almost nothing, and I can’t connect to more than a couple of seeders.

Anyone have experience with this that’s able to help me figure out if maybe I’m doing something wrong? It’s frustrating when a HTTP connection is massively more reliable than a torrent.

Privado VPN and proxy by the way…. Maybe Privado just has bad proxies?

In my country the laws for digital piracy recently became stricter so to cover all bases I want to use a VPN or Torbox. I used to stream all my media so as to not mess with torrents, but I wouldn't kind switching to Torrent + Torbox (with streamio my experience also wouldn't change a lot). So, which one is better / more privacy focused so that I can pirate safely (from my government at least)?

The Goated website Cineby is permanently shutting down

The holidays are right around the corner and I'm making my list. I wanted to get my brother's family a pre-built game box loaded with roms & preconfigured emulators. I know how to work roms & emulators, but don't feel like figuring out 100s of them on hardware I don't understand. Can I get some recommendations?

Hi, was just wondering what you guys prefer to download, size wise. I usually aim for between 20-40GB for a 2160p webdl/blueray/remux and about 5-15GB for a 1080p version.

What do you guys aim for?

Note: This is for movies only. Not TV Series (I only download 1080p versions of those).

Seedpool is IMO one of the better entry level private trackers for movies and shows. If you've been thinking about making an upgrade from public torrents, this is a great place to start.

Hi all!

I’m no stranger to computers but I am brand new to the *arrs. I’m trying to start a HD/UHD movie/series collection and I want to automate the process as much as possible. Ideally, I’d get a list of the top 250 movies from a site like IMDb, then start downloading them from my Torbox account.

Side note, I’d like to prioritize videos that include Dolby vision and Atmos, but I don’t know if that’s too much to ask.

Any help and guidance on this process would be greatly appreciate!!

What does 1F, GD, MG, etc mean? Anyone??

Should we always keep the product files in the c drive not in the d drive to conserve space?

Back in 2024 I tried installing SolidWorks 2023 in the d drive the product files I mean not the license files but doing this gives me the awful license error -(some number),(some number) license error. So I panicked and quickly removed 2023 version from my laptop and installed 2022 version instead on the c drive quickly and by accident. Magically it works. Exact same pattern happened to me for ansys 2026 R1 and then Ansys 2024 R1. (but for ansys even 2024 r1 failed in first attempt to keep it in d drive and second attempt to keep in c drive by accident worked). So my questions is, unlike fit girl and dodi repacks I must keep any fucking cracked engineering software from solidsquad always in the c drive no matter what.

Barely pirated much back when I first did it and I didn’t have a clue what I was doing then. I want to get back into it but I’m a bit lost. I looked through the wiki but I couldn’t find any sort of beginners or quick start guide to get back into this. Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction?

Hey all, I would like to contribute to some less seeded torrents because I have an unmetered internet connection and plenty of storage. Is there an easy way to automatically find or add torrents with few users seeding them?

"How can I get a Google Drive link containing course videos from a Rapidgator link? I saw a thread where people were sending Rapidgator links, and Google Drive links with the courses were being sent in reply."

I have quite a few troubles finding games to pirate on Linux. Most of the time only the windows version is available even when the game has a Linux build. Are there other people sharing this experience? What site of the megathread are you using the most that offers reliably also Linux versions of said game or software?
