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 24 points 2 years ago

That’s not even the right url for 1337x

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

the right URL btw is 1337x.to

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

it's one of the mirrors, but yeah.

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Y no piratebay tho?

[-] themagzuz 17 points 2 years ago

not moderated, so people often post malware there iirc

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 6 points 2 years ago

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

general tip; use fitgirl rather than igg

[-] bizzle@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Why?

[-] mounderfod@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years 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 6 points 2 years ago

Soulseek is still a banger

[-] Meanshadows35@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] seliaste 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Meanshadows35@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I did not know that at all!

[-] dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

limewire ran on the gnutella network

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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.
