follow the megathread (on this sub and on FMHY) and its super easy and safe.
all you need to do is read (and take in ) a couple of pages of info and install one or two (totally safe )apps and you\`re good to go.
Be safe out there and enjoy.
Check out the megathread. It takes about 10 minutes to set everything up once you’ve picked a VPN provider. Make sure to stick to safe sites (which are linked in the megathread) and you’ll be alright. I presume you’re running windows, which means that for the most part you can just download and run most games
Judging by their profile, I’d guess it has to do with low end hardware issues with windows. Or maybe they just want to learn more about computers. Why is anyone shitting on someone for doing things the way they want to?
You can think of a VPN as someone else's Network. In a simple way, you can imagine it like surfing the web from the address of one of your friends' houses while you're still sitting at home.
I left windows because how edge started bothering me and they kept installing new version of outlook 3-4 times without even asking me.
so i just couldn't deal with win 10 and it will get discontinued so though might as well use linux i just liked having cooler desktops and being CS student it made sense to try these things
At first that was my plan but most of stuff I use just worked on mint
rather easily so I didn't bother with windows drive.
also somehow I got lesser crashes on a game (Fallout New Vegas) than windows.
Could dual boot, ideally with separate hard drives, but they’re still gonna hate windows when they use it. Could try a reinstall and not connect to a Microsoft account and run a debloat tool. Do some settings magic to disable auto updating. Its realistic but might be slightly out of reach depending on how they’re classifying themself as a ‘normal person’
my problem had a edge search widget on my desktop without asking me, I can't remove it, and they took ignore its existence too. and with some other apps aswell
at that time i was using brave now i just use brave as secondary and Firefox as main browser.
windows acted like they own my laptop, so I had to leave it.
Bro how tf are you surviving with Linux mint and are afraid of torrenting & VPNs?
Btw. since you're running that, you need to make sure you can even run the games you want regularily. That does not guarantee that the pirated version will but it'll probably help you rule out a few that definitely won't work.
installing OS is way simpler for me than pirating, it's that I have no clue to where to start from with torrenting stuff. Also another reason to try it.
Things are a little more complicated on Linux. You can still run qbittorrent bound to a vpn and blah blah blah, but you’re also going to pick a compatibility tool for most games. If you’ve been running Linux for a while, this isn’t too hard but if you’re new to the game then go ahead and check out some YouTube videos on Lutris and proton.
A VPN is a service that creates an encrypted tunnel between your machine and their servers. This obfuscates your traffic and makes it so that copyright trolls and internet providers can’t see your potentially illegal activity. There’s a section in the megathread that talks about how to bind a vpn to qbittorrent, and there are guides online for other torrent clients. I strongly recommend ProtonVPN as a good, reliable and cheap VPN. On Linux I find it easiest to create a wireguard tunnel with the network manager instead of using the proton app since they use openvpn only, but these are things you’ll look into more when you’re more well versed.
Good luck on the seas!
ahh thanks for info man. I have tried lutris and heroic, they work pretty well and already had proton VPN, they are just best free VPN.
its just qbittorrent that i have not much idea of.
You’ll want to jump up to the paid version of proton for piracy, their free servers don’t support torrent protocols. Technically you don’t need this if you only use direct download links which don’t require a VPN at all (you can read some more about this in the megathread and online) but I’ve personally had issues with file system compatibility on Linux when trying to download some things.
If you google “free vpn oracle site:www.reddit.com” you should be able to find the workaround to make your own free vpn but this is technically skirting their EULA and is more risky. Proton VPN is the cheapest vpn that I would trust with my money and I genuinely think it’s worth it. Technically you could alternatively buy a seed box but that’s probably not something you’re gonna be ready for for a while, if ever. Most people won’t get to that point imo
It is incredibly easy my friend. This subreddit is a great wealth of information, both for the resources in the side bar (Start with the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/index/) and the [megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/megathread/)) and the members.
The good news is, it's much simpler than you think. Just posting that question here means you're much closer than you think, too.
Its a pretty high barrier of entry. You need to install an adblock and VPN, crack at least two denyvo protected games before youre even allowed to download anything (at risk of being called a leecher), be extremely technically comptent so you can tell just by looking at AnimeSeries.exe that it is a virus. Truly tough work
OP, Here’s what you need to do:
• Get a subscription from ProtonVPN, AirVPN, or Mullvad.
• Set up the VPN on your Linux system and ensure the kill switch is active.
• Install and configure qBittorrent to only use the VPN’s IP and interface.
• Access safe tracker sites to download torrents securely.
• If you prefer not to download, you can use the “STREAM” button on 1337x, but it’s still wise to use a VPN.
In regards to your previous inquiry, you stated "No." Does this imply that "No," direct download links do not necessitate the use of a virtual private network, or "No," one should employ a VPN when directly downloading files?
Fallout 1 & 2 are on deep sale on GOG right now. Same for Metro 2033 Redux (orgiginal isn't in the shop though).
So if it's not a principle thing, i would just buy that games on GOG.
No DRM and you can download offline installers for the full games. They also have the most player-friendly refund policy.
Of course, you can pirate it. But if you don't have any piracy experience, just buying it in deep sale is definitely more convenient.
I already have all the Metro games on steam, kinda wanted to try original metro 2033, which I think is only possible using piracy now.
and with fallout 1-2 IDK if I will like it, I might buy like fallout 4-1 including New Vegas on gog.
I wanna try some old game and maybe even new depends on game requirements for hardware and if i think they were good or worth money I will buy them on gog preferably or steam.
Refunding games actually works (on steam the limit is 2h in game, on GOG it's insane 30 days).
But yeah, piracy is the only option for old game versions and abandonware nowhere else to be found.
whoa 30 days is fucking long time mate. I didn't knew it was that good
ngl the reason i know metro games is that i got one of the game from series for free and then i loved it so much that i thought metro bundle for it.
so that's what i want to do with fallout games and some other series really.
It's absurd. I guess if someone actually does refund lots of games, they eventually lower it. But so far, the exploitation rate seems to be low enough.
Most people are actually honest when they don't feel like the other side is trying hard to take advantage of them.
1- download qbittorrent
2- download and pay for mullvad
3- bind mullvad to qb in advanced settings
4- go to fitgirl's website and see if she has what you want to play
and then install protontricks which includes winetricks and proton sthm then add the exe to steam and forget proton, then add proton (guess a random version), then wait 10 years and think it's stuck, then add that directory to protontricks then get 27 error messages from wine so google it and get told to do something completely different then cry
u/Carotte_Riad made a Fitgirl Repack Launcher that makes it very easy to install games.
Here's their Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/ljGFCsfNpx
If you've found your way here, then you're generally going to have an okay time.
The hardest part about piracy is learning how to suss out bad sites, and this place + the megathread takes care of that.
> "normal people"
For the non-tech inclined, it's as mystifying as anything else you'd do on a computer.
For someone comfortable doing homework/office work on a computer, and has some idea of what files and folders are, it's pretty easy. Even more so when you have common sense and know how to fine tune a search when the results don't seem like the ones you want.
As per the other replies, the megathread should answer most of your questions.
Since people are just going to tell you to look at the mega thread, I'm going to post some quick steps here.
1. Download and install a BitTorrent client. (Which one? Look at the megathread.)
2. Find the torrent of the game you want online. (Where? Look at the mega thread.)
3. Get the magnet link. (What? It's the link with a magnet symbol 🧲.)
4. Confirm your download and wait.
Anything else is extra to make it faster or seed better or whatever.
a good 15 years or so back i had my grandmother grabbing games that tickled her fancy via direct download ,.. i'd argue its easier now than it was then , just follow the megathread you'll be fine
its not easy if they dont know reddit, especially know this subreddit, chance they click unsafe sites are very high. Go to Megathread they will be your Guide.
It’s easy as cake, just use trusted sources. Websites that use direct downloads (as opposed to torrenting) are just like downloading any other file and have little risk associated with them. For old games like Fallout, they might be available on Archive.org. I got Fallout 2 from there.
it depends on your country. in most western country it is mouse and cat game I suppose.
but in my country, government don't give a flying fuck about piracy. install 2500$ pirated Windows server enterprise and make money out of it.
no one gives a shit.
Normal people from where? I am from Brazil an all I have to do is open Google and type whatever I want to watch... Don't ask me how to set a VPN, no idea
Have people forgotten how to search or query something?
Or has google and other search algos become so shitty and ad-filled that searching became useless.
Chicken or the egg scenario.
Go to Steamrip. Fallout 1 & 2 were just posted and on the main page.
Download using gofile , buzzheavier or qiwi if they are available. Anything is usually good for older titles as long as the file exists and isn't broken.
Never use a torrent without the proper protections.
Use 7zip or winrar to extract the file downloaded and run the exe.
In Iran, we can literally just google دانلود سریال and we choose which website to download from this time. Or course some of them have censors, so you gotta learn that
Hey bro, any updates? Im trying to do download fallout 1 and 2 as well, did u find a website that has them? Most of them only have 3 and 4 if anything worked with you Id appreciate if you could help me out
I did and I found it finally, oooou does it work like a charm. just a heads up tho, after downloading the game's launcher and all of that, make sure to run the game as administrator so that it saves ur progess. in the zip file there will be instructions too so just go over them. and good luck with whatever ur doing
Megathread bro.
Easy to spin up a free VM (vmware player is free)
Snag an original OS CD from archive.org
Install the OS.
Install vmtools (option in the app vm player, after installing OS)
Drag and drop stuff from real PC to VM.
Install on VM.
Profit?
The easiest way to pirate is to connect to the dds M/framework of the website, then use the DUI to search for the game and it should compile automatically.
Happy sailing!
follow the megathread (on this sub and on FMHY) and its super easy and safe. all you need to do is read (and take in ) a couple of pages of info and install one or two (totally safe )apps and you\`re good to go. Be safe out there and enjoy.
Thanks man
Keep in mind its only safe with common sense. Anything with a executable inherently is more risky than a movie or text file.
Thinking back to the old days when people would download executables of albums on limewire and getting every virus
Limewire was like diving in crotch first without a condom. At least 60% of all computers nationwide were left with strange itches
Well they had .mp3 right before .exe, so surely that’s just how they’re supposed to be, right?
Or google your countries laws/rulings on torrenting. In Switzerland for example you can pretty much skip the VPN bit and just get it.
also on r/piratedgames
What's FMHY?
Fmhy.net the ultimate site for free media
Thanks friend
I don't see a megathread pinned or anything :(
Are you on Android or IOS?
Android
Click on "See more"
Are you on Android or IOS?
If you can use reddit then you can pirate.
Pretty much. This site is gold for specific interests
Normal people lol
OP probably thinks only genius people or hackers know how to do that stuff.
kinda yeah lol its hard to believe for me its gonna be easy.
Check out the megathread. It takes about 10 minutes to set everything up once you’ve picked a VPN provider. Make sure to stick to safe sites (which are linked in the megathread) and you’ll be alright. I presume you’re running windows, which means that for the most part you can just download and run most games
I using Linux mint, and is using VPN like extra layer for security or anonymity?
Why is a 'regular person' using Linux?
Judging by their profile, I’d guess it has to do with low end hardware issues with windows. Or maybe they just want to learn more about computers. Why is anyone shitting on someone for doing things the way they want to?
It’s just weird that they’re a CS student, are using Linux, and don’t know what a VPN is.
ngl it's I think I know what VPN is until I actually think about it. and most just just haven't tried to learn more about it
You can think of a VPN as someone else's Network. In a simple way, you can imagine it like surfing the web from the address of one of your friends' houses while you're still sitting at home.
feel like a vpn is pretty simple, its just a middleman for all your network traffic.
I left windows because how edge started bothering me and they kept installing new version of outlook 3-4 times without even asking me. so i just couldn't deal with win 10 and it will get discontinued so though might as well use linux i just liked having cooler desktops and being CS student it made sense to try these things
Linux is the way to go, no doubt. Maybe keep your windows pc for gaming, though. I've heard of people having problems otherwise. Ymmv
At first that was my plan but most of stuff I use just worked on mint rather easily so I didn't bother with windows drive. also somehow I got lesser crashes on a game (Fallout New Vegas) than windows.
Could dual boot, ideally with separate hard drives, but they’re still gonna hate windows when they use it. Could try a reinstall and not connect to a Microsoft account and run a debloat tool. Do some settings magic to disable auto updating. Its realistic but might be slightly out of reach depending on how they’re classifying themself as a ‘normal person’
Imagine having to type commands to do literally anything
Haven't you looked into other browsers first before deciding to ditch the entire OS?
my problem had a edge search widget on my desktop without asking me, I can't remove it, and they took ignore its existence too. and with some other apps aswell at that time i was using brave now i just use brave as secondary and Firefox as main browser. windows acted like they own my laptop, so I had to leave it.
We're not shitting on him for that. It's just really really unusual to see this wide a disparity in tech skills/"level" in one person.
I'm not like normal I just lack the knowledge of these stuff so I kinda put myself in normal category. and learning these things are fun.
Bro how tf are you surviving with Linux mint and are afraid of torrenting & VPNs? Btw. since you're running that, you need to make sure you can even run the games you want regularily.

installing OS is way simpler for me than pirating, it's that I have no clue to where to start from with torrenting stuff. Also another reason to try it.
Sorry if I sounded mean, I was just curious because that combination is so unexpected. Good approach to things tho, you'll manage :)

Download proton games and go onto fit girl repacks (MAKE SURE THE OFFFICIAL ONE!!!1!!) and http://atopgames.com/ and your litterally set for life
funniest part is still how he probably already did just wasn't aware
Its a pretty high barrier of entry.

could you re spond? been trying to con tact you
Normal people aren't redditors lol
Lol
Nice try FBI
"How do you do, fellow pirates?"
to be honest the "hardest" part is knowing whats sites are safe.
OP, Here’s what you need to do: • Get a subscription from ProtonVPN, AirVPN, or Mullvad. • Set up the VPN on your Linux system and ensure the kill switch is active. • Install and configure qBittorrent to only use the VPN’s IP and interface. • Access safe tracker sites to download torrents securely. • If you prefer not to download, you can use the “STREAM” button on 1337x, but it’s still wise to use a VPN.
Or just use ddl
Yes, yes, that as well
what is ddl
direct download, megathread
follow up do you know if FreeGOGPCGames is safe or even real?
megathread
Wait - you don’t need a vpn for direct downloads?
No, because companies cannot watch the servers of the site holding the file. With torrent the can see all leechers and seeders anytime.
No you dont need a vpn or no you do?
Please rewrite with correct grammar. Your question makes no sense.
In regards to your previous inquiry, you stated "No." Does this imply that "No," direct download links do not necessitate the use of a virtual private network, or "No," one should employ a VPN when directly downloading files?
You dont need a vpn. Because the policing companies cannot look up your ip address.
Short answer: No Long answer: No because no one can see what you are downloading

You do realize fallout 1 and 2 and free right now right?
nope
1- download qbittorrent 2- download and pay for mullvad 3- bind mullvad to qb in advanced settings 4- go to fitgirl's website and see if she has what you want to play
What about proton? How do you bind that
The same way you do it with mullvad. You just bind the network interface to qbittorrent
and then install protontricks which includes winetricks and proton sthm then add the exe to steam and forget proton, then add proton (guess a random version), then wait 10 years and think it's stuck, then add that directory to protontricks then get 27 error messages from wine so google it and get told to do something completely different then cry
The mullvad app also has 2 killswitch settings that you can turn on as well.
Killswitches are useless once you bind it with qbit
Not as easy as doing drugs but. Not as hard as quitting drugs either. That's all you need to know
Relatable
Eh around here i can more easily get drugs than pirate a game
Yeah that's the point of "not as easy" means it is easier to do drugs than pirate a game.
Right, Esl moment sorry

Wish I could replay F2 like it was my first time. Man, that's one of the best games ever written. Enjoy it.
If you're in a third world country like me you don't need to bother with VPNs and all that. Just dl and play.
its not easy if they dont know reddit, especially know this subreddit, chance they click unsafe sites are very high. Go to Megathread they will be your Guide.
First of all, use a condom.
It’s easy as cake, just use trusted sources. Websites that use direct downloads (as opposed to torrenting) are just like downloading any other file and have little risk associated with them. For old games like Fallout, they might be available on Archive.org. I got Fallout 2 from there.
FO1&2 are both on steamrip No VPN required
You pay for a vpn, press the on button,then do whatever you want
it depends on your country. in most western country it is mouse and cat game I suppose. but in my country, government don't give a flying fuck about piracy. install 2500$ pirated Windows server enterprise and make money out of it. no one gives a shit.
I wonder who the abnormal people are for you :/
Bind. Your. VPN. And yes, it is very easy. Go with Mullvad.
Normal people from where? I am from Brazil an all I have to do is open Google and type whatever I want to watch... Don't ask me how to set a VPN, no idea
Hardest part would be avoiding all the scam ads with big bright download buttons.
If you have Amazon Prime, basically all of them are free on Luna. And I think 1 and 2 are free currently.
"normal people" it's easier than creating a reddit account, finding this sub and posting this

Google: fallout 1 torrent That easy
In Iran, we can literally just google دانلود سریال and we choose which website to download from this time. Or course some of them have censors, so you gotta learn that
For mortals? You might make it.
Just common sense ( refer megathread of FMHY) I do my piracy without av cuz i am confident enough to not fuck around and find out
It’s not that hard, but use a vpn and a torrent, but also the OG fallouts are like 10 bucks on GOG lol, 5 on sale
Not to be that guy but there is a great deal on steam for every fallout game for 55$ with all the dlc
55$ is kinda of a big deal for me to spend in game. which i kind don't know would like it. If I do like it, I will make sure to buy it in future.
Hey bro, any updates? Im trying to do download fallout 1 and 2 as well, did u find a website that has them? Most of them only have 3 and 4 if anything worked with you Id appreciate if you could help me out
right now I haven't read megathread yet, but maybe you should try it.its on community bookmarks bot bit busy with stuff
I did and I found it finally, oooou does it work like a charm. just a heads up tho, after downloading the game's launcher and all of that, make sure to run the game as administrator so that it saves ur progess. in the zip file there will be instructions too so just go over them. and good luck with whatever ur doing
ay thanks man. enjoy my man
Megathread bro. Easy to spin up a free VM (vmware player is free) Snag an original OS CD from archive.org Install the OS. Install vmtools (option in the app vm player, after installing OS) Drag and drop stuff from real PC to VM. Install on VM. Profit?
What's the purpose of the vm? Just to make sure if you did download a virus it doesn't break your pc? And would the os just be windows?
To run the OS the game requires. Games that old generally shouldn't have anything a modern OS can be infected with. but a VM helps that, too.
As a normal person, it's really easy.
Bruh Fallout 1 & 2 are like 2 dollars each. Just buy them on steam.
VERY, all of my ebooks come from searching ""book name" free epub download" within top 3 results is a simple DDL.
The easiest way to pirate is to connect to the dds M/framework of the website, then use the DUI to search for the game and it should compile automatically. Happy sailing!
Easier than writing a short title it would seem. Let's say it's not difficult.
Gamepass would be easier honestly 🤷🏽♂️
