I’ve downloaded a handful of games recently because tis the season. They were games that sat on my wishlist for a long time and their sales were too stingy for me. So I decided to sail the seas once more and acquire them. I plan to get a few more to wrap up the last 4 games on my wishlist and I’m done.

What about you?

    Dude, what you speak of is just plain silliness. Do you not understand that in the realm of pirating, you take risks just for simply downloading in what the laws say is ‘illegal’?

    There is no such thing as ‘safe’ when it comes to downloading except getting a clue or a suspicion about what you’re downloading and where it’s from.

    Again, it is common sense. Pirating is all about risk and reward. Risk, whether you infect your machine or get penalized by your ISP or get fined/jailed for your piracy. Reward, the files you acquire that aren’t a blip on the radar of your ISP and doesn’t contain malware or viruses.

      Why the rudeness? I asked a simple question… downloading movies and tv shows is always safe because they are programs. That’s why I asked. Didn’t expect you to be a jerk.

        There’s a few safe(ish) sites. Your best bet is Fitgirl and DODI repacks, and SteamRIP. Make sure you have the correct URLs. Also check out the FMHY wiki.

        Keep in mind that not everything can be 100% safe, just lower risk.

          Thanks! So one can trust Fitgirl’s to be safe then? That’s typically how I do my movies is only use my private trackers and a few public

        Because your obnoxious obliviousness makes light on the idea of piracy. Like you expect it to hold your hand in every step of the way.

        Plus, I am overwhelmingly tired of people like you with that kind of attitude. You’re the kind of pirate that downloads and barely learns. The ones always asking if they need a VPN for the thousandth time when we’ve told you for the thousandth time and more, that you do.

        So, no, I do not have to treat you with kindness. Enjoy the block. Keep raining those petty downvotes of yours for all I care.
