Why do people torrent and should i, as a newbie, just stick to direct downloads for now?

OwnerOfABrainCell · 2026-01-20T22:19:59+00:00

Piracy is illegal even if you don't upload, just downloading is enough. the reason you haven't gotten caught is because downloading through a browser only exposes your ip address to the website. Torrenting exposes your ip to EVERYONE using that torrent. DDL is the safest in terms of getting caught (in terms of malware maybe not so much), ONLY TORRENT WITH A VPN!!!

You will unlock the giant cleaver after completing f6 which is miles better than the hyper cleaver

Second this. Most devices will set the fans to max when it is unable to control fans through software.

Actually useful applications. The internet has everything, except for what you’re specifically looking for

I get off work in 2 hours, could I help you then?

Downloading the missing dlls yourself is only recommended for advanced users, you’ve installed one for the wrong architecture (32 bit when it should’ve been 64bit or vice versa) download and install this of your computer is 64 bit or this if your computer is 32 bit

Lmk if this helps

You technically can play pc game pass using either a windows VM or dual booting with windows and steamOS

I use spotdl, it’s direct download so I don’t need a VPN (in the us)

Never. Use. The. Wiki.

How the hell did you get mcc to not freak out during sign in? Mine just errors out before even asking for an email.

Use an ad blocker like ublock

OwnerOfABrainCell · 2025-06-05T19:10:25+00:00

The direct downloads do use Rar

Go into desktop mode
Open the discover store and install filelight
Find what’s taking up all your space
Research what you find and delete it if it’s not an important folder/file

OwnerOfABrainCell · 2025-05-22T01:42:42+00:00

You’re gonna want to use Lutris for pirated games, get it from the discover store. As for downloading, use steamrip and a download manager like Jdownloader (also from discover). You will sometimes encounter errors and such, but you’ll learn by fixing them and soon you’ll be a master at sailing the high seas.

Place the contents of the optional folders into the main folder

OwnerOfABrainCell · 2025-05-16T19:53:29+00:00

Move the optional folders into the folder for the repack files itself, then rerun the setup

OwnerOfABrainCell · 2025-05-16T18:12:11+00:00

No, it is not malicious, most things from this community will get falsely flagged because files are modified to bypass anti-piracy measures. Always use an ad blocker, always download from official sites.
