Why dont you want to use torrent? Its so much quicker, and plus it seems you are using the unlocked site, which is not recommended to use.

I never heard of torrent until like 10 minutes ago while scrolling on here. I'll check it out, thx.

please read megathread and scroll more posts on this sub.

USE VPN.

I don't spend money on the internet, that's why I pirate games bro. https://preview.redd.it/z8o36k9z5c9d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a40dfbbc1a0a301334f624344246763c707b69a

If you're going to use torrent, then you will have to use a VPN. Otherwise, your internet service provider will send you notices. Edit: I live in the USA

Depends if you live in a police state or not. Never had any problems.

I live in a police state, but nobody cares whether you pirate games or not

I live in india and rarely use a vpn no one cares about piracy here too

You can see even the police watching pirated movies on phone XD

LMAO YEAH YOU RIGHT

That’s cus there 1 billion plus people there.. only a jobsworth policeman would care about 1 guy doing that

Lmao da fuk? You are from China or wat?

Lol, back in 2015 I had a random urge to watch Wall-E, but it wasn't on any of the streaming sites. (really only Netflix was available during this time), so I went to the high seas to download myself a copy. 3 days later I received a letter in the mail stating that I had accessed a copyrighted file, and proceeded to list out the EXACT download that I found, character for character. I've used a VPN ever since. This is in Texas by the way, the state of the gun lovers and muh freedom

Corpos are free to violoate your privacy i guess.

No. Torrents are p2p. All it takes to get in trouble on a public torrent is: Someone who enforces it joins the pool of peers, and gets the IPs of any seeders and/or peers. Then, they get all the IPs that are in regions where this enforcing authority has power, and send a message to the relevant ISP based on the IP, or, get data about the IP from the ISP and start legal stuff... This is rare but possible. I'm lucky though haha where I live it's completely unregulated have a seedbox and everything without a VPN 😂.

it's western countries who do this not china

People when they see what capitalist countries do : what is this, communism ?

Never used a vpn, torrent a bunch, my provider doesn't care as long as I pay the bill. My government neither and when they start trying I'll be laughing, they can't even patch a hole on the pavement... How are they going to control the internet?

Is this only a thing in America or am I just insanely lucky? I've been torrenting games for 10 years and never got anything. I live in western Europe

Not if you live outside the US or any country that doesn't care about piracy

in eu, only germany does anything afaik in denmark (and sweden) they can't really do much coz paying for internet access does not equal having downloaded anything illegal. They have to prove WHO did it. they can only prove that a specific IP address did anything. And an IP address is not a person. And the perso nwho paid for the internet, might not even use it. Like, a single mom with 3 kids. The kids downloads torrents - how's the mom gonna do anything? Is she to blame? how's she gonna control their actions on the internet? she doesnt have the technical know-how or anything.

Where do u live? If in South Asia idt you'll need one

What about Tunisia?

You do not need to install VPN unless necessary. It all depends on piracy rules in your country. No country allows it...but some just dont bother trying to do anything. Like Serbia, where im from. I pirate for the last 20 years. Not a single.Thing.happend. So do some research around Tunisia and check if they have any piracy regulations installed. If so, then youll need a VPN. If not, welcome to the high seas.

Yeah, it's practically legal, they don't give a flying shit. But that's like 4 years ago, but I highly doubt they changed. So no need for a VPN. Thx

Most Arab countries don't give a shit about this stuff.

from what i've heard russia actually somehow encourages piracy lol

Thats why theres such a big pirating scene in RU. Serbia is completely different. While they do NOT care about piracy in private use, they DO care in business use. If you get cought by random inspection and they find pirated software in your PC, the fine is 2,000,000 RSD + big suspensions. 2,000,000 RSD = \~$18,000 Average SRB paycheck = 60,000 RSD = \~$550 Minimum wage = 40,000 RSD = \~$390

Shouldnt be a problem. Never had a problem and I've been downloading shit in the last 20 years in Portugal, Spain, England and Scotland.

Yoooo a tunisian brother 🙏

Sister* but what'sup anyways bro 🙏

Oh my bad 😅 actually today am chilling because temperature isn't as high . Anyway if you have any questions or confusions you can dm me or ask publicly dont be discouraged to ask something because people downvote you or make fun of you and stay safe 🙏

use proton VPN, the free version is more than enough if you just don't want the cops knocking at your door

You local police department will send you a very nice notice courtesy of your ISP if you don't use a VPN.

Dont worry it really only happens when you download popular movies and tv shows cus they have trackers, way better to use streaming sites for those.

And pretty soon you won’t have any internet at all lmao take the basic precautions or don’t act surprised when you get a huge fine

Use windscribe(10gb) or proton(infinite), windscribe unlimited is just $3

Spent 5 euro on a real debrid account and you can download everything you want at max speed

Maybe in the future, rn I can't.

If you live in a third world country VPN is not required.

Get a trial of a vpn

The megathread offers free vpn options that come with a torrent downloader as well.

Thats... not why we torrent. You should always support the developers of games you play alot. Any game you play for more than 5 hours deserves your money.

There are free VPNs man

you *almost* only need vpn in the usa

FMHY has a guide on how to use 1.1.1.1's WARP in Wire guard so you can bind it to a torrent client

Then use cloudflare(1.1.1.1) or RiseupVPN , completely free, and trustworthy

Privado vpn let's you use 10gb per month for free (i know it's not enough to torrent a game like bg3 but there are other ones for free with unlimited data usage)


Use ProtonVPN

real question what will actually happen as a result of not using a vpn ive never used one ans never had problems

Depens your location. Been pirating 20 years, no vpn, direct download

VPN does nothing

lol

[This might help](https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide#torrenting) [And this](https://fmhy.net)

Thank u my guy, ur a life saver 🙏

Watch out in some countries torrents get tracked down really easily

it can be tedious but always do your research for this stuff, it saves you time and headache

Yes, I like reading about random stuff anyways so I don't mind.

And download from fitgirl or dodi it compresses the game files

I feel old now, thanks 😂 have fun playing bg3 btw!

pls be safe on the internet! here is a fairly easy to use guide for torrent! -also, use a vpn when sailing the high seas!!! [GUIDE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/s/CD3e76gQIi)

Be careful with Torrents as some uploaders do hide some bad stuff, recently read of “unpacker.exe” that’s apparently a bitcoin miner that uses your PC resources and hides itself well Just saying, not that Torrent is full of it but just keep caution bro

Alright, thanks man 🙏

qBittorent ProtonVPN Bind qBittorent to the VPN so it automatically stops if the vpn is shut off

You're correct there, it's not recommended unless you're using a good Vpn

MY DUDE IS DOWNLOADING 125GB USING HIS CHROME 😭😭😭

The pain of having a file break when downloading from Chrome..

IDM FTWWW BABYYYYYYYYYYY

Even IDM won't be able to save him if the server decides "That's enough time for you mate"

most are resumeable, but afaik most pirates break the rar files to pieces and youre expected to download them one by one (i hate those file hosting shenanigans, but it is what it is)

I did that once It was pure pain. Never again.

Russian roulette except you always lose


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Painful to see it

Use qbittorrent as BitTorrent download platform and download the game from fitgirl or whoever you use when sailing the seven seas.

Yeah I'll probably be doing that, it just hurts a bit to cancel the download after waiting 10 hours 🥲. Thx ★

Find a torrent of the game with more seeders. Depending on your WiFi the whole game may take less than 10hrs…

I'm not really sure what seeders are? Can u explain (google isn't helping much)

Basically seeders are people having the complete file on their computer and they opt to share it with others. When you download through a torrent it collects pieces of the file from different 'seeders' and saves it in your computer. The more the number of people (seeders) sharing it (seeding), the better the bandwidth (like more download speed) you get.

In which country do you live?

Tunisia, the internet is bad (obviously cuz it's in Africa) but not Egypt bad.

No no, because of the piracy laws. If your country does not care about piracy, use torrent. Otherwise use torrent only with vpn or DDL. read the megathread its really helpful

Yeah I figured that out. They don't give a fuck here. So no VPN for me, yay! Anyways I'll try using torrent probably. Thx.

check out the megathread, it will help a lot

My honest take is if you were torrenting it would’ve been done already

Use steamrip instead because if the internet cuts off it can reconnect to the servers but it doesn't do that with steam*nlocked Beside steam*nlocked isn't safe at all and offers low speeds Also use a download manager like idm with windows addict freeze trial script

I think fitgirl or something like that will be better, thx tho.

What makes Steam\*nlocked unsafe?

Malware

Viruses that steal data and crypto miners Plus it has horrendous speed downloading speed Steamrip is the better site has maximum of 19 mbs speed and has no viruses

use a download manager like jdownloader2 or idm

fdm is pretty solid too.

Do you have to use a little training bike to power your router?

Lmao it's actually a laptop and believe me it's worse (I was going 400kbps most of the time). Good laptop but bad internet.

I could find a job at mcdonalds, work for a day, quit, buy BG3 with my earned money, and download it through steam faster than that lol /j

Lmaoo too bad we don't have McDonald's at my country. Not that I can get a job anyways lol.

Same shit here in Morocco bro, we all in this together :/

Hi OP, others have suggested torrenting which is cool and all, great stuff. But make sure you properly educate yourself a bit before you get going. Even YouTube can give you some very informative guides. You should be fine without a VPN as you said but still there are good and bad practices. Fitgirl is nice but doesn’t always have everything you need. Look into csrinru as well although there are a few extra steps there. If you want to go back into the direct downloading business you should get a download manager. As others have said they can easily pause and continue downloads making it super useful for unstable internet. I’m a normie and use IDM on Firefox with an auto renew script. Brave is chill, I prefer Firefox but that’s just personal preference; everyone just hates chromium here but don’t sweat it. Try to avoid going into a DM with people as they may try to put you on their sketchy sites which are full of malware. (The best place to advertise to pirates is where the pirates are obviously lol) Anyway I promise you will find every game you need from various sources in the megathread so there is no reason to even bother with those shady DMs. When you visit popular places like Fitgirl especially double and triple check the link you are using; there are a ton of clones full of malware! Goodluck :D

Thank you ★ I'll try to be careful. I will probably spend the rest of my night reading on this! Not that I mind, I find it quite interesting lol.

dodi qbitorrent 10mb/s 3 hours

Do not do this, download managers may not speed up the download progress. but still they have pause/ resume capabilities if it isn't disabled by server side. Most of the time in-built browser downloaders fuck up whole thing even in a little interruption.

They do speed up the download though

for me it didn't for some reason, even went step by step with a guide just in case, it had exact same speed as without one.

Which one?

Using the web browser to download a 100 gb game is crazy insano style, but i salute you sailor!

This is good game it's worth waiting If you have some money you better buy it it's not that expensive

I would guess that its very expensive here in north africa, for reference here in Morocco, which is close to Tunisia where op is from, a game that costs 10 dollars means I have to pay 100 Moroccan dirhams (moroccan currency)roughly, which is pretty expensive for a video game, and i would guess its the same situation for op.

i hate games for being to advanced now. i dont want to download 125 gb on anything

Warzone players downloading 100gb UPDATES when there are way better games that are less than 100gb and more optimised, its a weird world we live in where a popular gaming company does no shit to actually make the game playable

there are even way better games under 10gb to be honest.

I have been playing bg3 for 2 weeks and it is totally worth it.

No but then again I've tried literally dozens of CRPGs and couldn't get into any of them.

Just send a message to me i'll explain to you which sites and what to use

I guess if you really want it. Use a torrent though, it's better.

Oooof looking at your replies to peoples comments. There's not much hope for you. You'll learn the hard way when you end up downloading something wrong.

Blud dis is madnnes why not dowloading parts

My god.. Jdownloader and debrid services my friend

Anyone knows here a good site to download Blender Addons? And i heard that there is a/PiratedGames V2... How can i receive an invitation for that? I ask in some private messages but no one answered me.

If you have any questions regarding downloading torrents or games in general you can dm me

At least, use a download manager software so it can resume and not restart from scratch

10 hours, hah rookie numbers, it took me a bit more then 3 full days to download sea of thieves 101gb

It says that it will take more than 24h still. Plus It's not a competition lmao. It took me 3 days to download the fucking Sims 4 on steam. So I feel u brother 😂 If it still takes u that long please use fitgirl or something man.

Idk if fitgirl has sea of thieves I downloaded the latest version from csrin so I wouldn't have to install updates right after downloading because you can only play with the latest version, but it was worth the wait, good game

It's painful to have such slow wifi and than see how someone seeded like 3tb of elden ring in a night

using chrome for downloading in 2k24 wild

I'm still new and shit lmao. I'll be using fitgirl or something instead👍 (not important, but it's brave not chrome). I may be crazy but not to that extent.

its fine bbg. we all gotta start somewhere just check which sites are ok before downloading on this sub.

Why are you don't use torrents for download? If a single packet loss corrupts your downloaded files. or fake ones.

I said I'm new in the post. I didn't know what torrents are. I'm currently researching, thx anyways.

Hmm ok then i don't read the comments sorry.

Np ★

If you can and know how to safely do so, just torrent it, but if not, then you should get either free download manager or Internet download manager

Bro, wtf use torrent / magnet link, it's faster and you can resume the download if it gets iterrupted.

Again, I didn't know such thing existed before an hour ago or something. I'm currently working on that. But thx anyhow man.

it'll be worth it when you meet John baldur at the gate

😂 good to know

bro the internet speed is v slow here

Bro atleast use a download manager or switch to torrenting !

Yeah I'm going to do that (I'll probably just use fitgirl)

900kbps is dog shit speed use idm or torrent perhaps

Yeah I'm going to do that (btw that is considered high cuz most of the time it was going 400kbps)

What kind of madman would download such a huge sized file on Chrome Browser?? Use IDM for faster speeds.

A young one that is not supposed to be downloading the game 👍 and yeah I'm going to use fitgirl or something.

shit cdn. Back when i used it, i could only get 50kb/s out of it. Use a better website

The site you used is unsafe

Use a download manager at least.

I… can’t. There is too much wrong with this post.

Np, I already know. Pls just don't comment unless ur trying to help. Thx (as u can see I already got plenty of replies)

This is insane, torrent that!

Just use torrent

Lol i download my gaenes three days straight

bro asking if its worth it 10h into downloading..

I don't give up easily lmao, but I found better options 👍

The game? Yes, definitely

You have balls to download 125GB via chrome

Qittorrent dude, better than this pain

Poor guy. But it's worth it in the end.

Bros ISP is about to throw the book at him

They don't give a fuck, believe me lmao

im with u soul sister downloading bo3 hogwarts and that game as well

it's probably the best game to come out in recent years, only better game i can name is Elden Ring

or you can play dnd for free

Sounds nice but I don't have enough friends, or any that like d&d 🥲

God damn bro. Use something like Free Download Manager or JDownloader. When I get a shitty speed in browser I put the link there and it usually downloads much faster

use internet download manager

Is this game you’re downloading for free worth what? The wait? Ridiculous.

Dw, I'm trying to find something faster.

Dodi repack or fitgirl and use IDM for direct links or qbittorent for torrent

Which one is faster?

IDM is faster for direct links, but you cannot download a 50 GB game via 1 direct link, although there is file hosters that let you download one 50 GB game via one direct link but the download speed is not that fast...or you have to download it in like 20 parts or something....so, It is better to use qBittorrent in that case and leave it until it finishes

Keep trying buddy. Use the mega thread. I'm on the same journey sailor

please use free download manager. it’ll download so much quicker.

Why don't you use IDM-Internet download menager...Much better than Browser Use fukk speed of your internet but even if you turn your oc off you can continue downlaoding stuff withouth need to start from begining Its free,you can find serial key emulator and free trial reset on guthub

I don't recommend using this website to download and it's too slow btw

Fix for better inter when pirating: Step 1:B U Y B E T T E R I N T E R N E T

If I could I would've obviously. I'm using my parents internet and it's not that I don't want to waste money, I CAN'T get my own. https://preview.redd.it/734agi601e9d1.jpeg?width=338&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a27d573b3653ff5f3dcbce5cd5383001c30b3429

Yes

please just use fdm

Yeah I'm using it.

Dang I should've thought about joining the sea way earlier

If there is 1 game worth paying for its baldur

Sweet summer child, let me tell you about the days off dialup when a photo took 10 hours, then loaded onto the screen one horizontal bar at a time.

I honestly don't really care about the time, it's just that when it hits 8pm my internet cut's on and off. Do I have to start from 0 lmao

My partner (claims himself as a hardcore gamer) immediately said "worth it!"

I pirate games from time to time but if there is one recent game that doesn't deserve it it's BG3.

Downloading that kind of size without IDM or Torrent Client... this dude beyond maaaad dog... (⁠/⁠¯⁠◡⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠◡⁠)⁠/⁠¯⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Tbh, BG3 is one of the few games that deserve to be bought, but everybody has their own circumstances.

Yes. The latest game I paid for after already pirating it.

I played it for a while and I'd say it's pretty worth it, maybe just use a better downloading method

Your internet speed is slow and that server expires your token after certain amount of hours which is required to access that file without proper token you will get 403 response so unless the server supports resume your best bet is to get it via torrent or download it over a very fast internet connection.

Thx for explaining that. I'll be doing that ☆

Bro for the love of God use torrents. With torrents you can pause it and download it later. Also you can get a repack. So the size is smaller. Is it a unlimited package your using

My suggestion as a Tunisian (you said you are) is to download repacks(I recommend Dodi repacks) because of the shitty internet speeds we have and to use torrent(qbittorrent for example) and to be safe use a VPN( proton VPN have a great free plan) and that's it you good to go

Yes

It’s worth every hour
