📜 ➜ Megathread

⛵ ➜ Not so fast sailor! Do this first

  • Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with these optimized settings (Blocks advertisements & malware).
  • Change your DNS settings to one of these great choices (Bypasses website access limitations).
  • Use a reputable torrent client with a kill switch, such as qBittorrent (Allows torrenting).
  • Set up a VPN such as Mullvad or ProtonVPN (Changes IP address to hide identity).
  • Bind your torrent client to the VPN (Only allows torrenting when VPN is active).

🗺️ ➜ Bookmark these full backups

⚠️ ➜ Uncertainty

  • Any links that are not included in the entire Megathread have either not been approved by the moderators or the community, or have been deleted at some point. In other words, use extra caution anytime you sail in uncharted waters.
  • That said, as times change, so do the currents. What is seen as a safe route to great treasures now may soon be a shell of its former self or even be riddled with the black plague. Always exercise caution and if you notice problems with any of the sites in our Megathread, please contact the moderators.

Can ROMs be extracted from fitgirl repacks? I searched this question, and it pointed me to the Reddit MEGAthread. I found that through here, but I still can't find an answer. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Why most of the links redirect to reddit? I dont want to open that website.

Ivpn stopped as well. Let's hope this is not a trend..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When reading the reasons of mullvad to stop, my guess is that others will follow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. I think the only VPN providers that are able to keep offering port forwarding are those that log data and hand it to the authorities.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

No, Njalla at njal.la offers port forwarding

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Could you ammend the reddit links to point to old.reddit? The new design is just bad to look at.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can XDCC / IRC be added to the megathread?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

With mullvad not allowing portforwarding, should we be recommending it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About port forwarding, is it nessecary to download or just to upload?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am no expert, but I think it does deal with both? Definitely upload, but I think that if your ports aren't forwarded correctly then you won't get as many download connections?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Came here to post this. If seeding is important to you, and I hope it kinda is, then you need port forwarding. So Mullvad is out, or at least I switched away from it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switched to what? Mullvad was a trustworthy reliable staple.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I go with Njalla for torrents until I hear anything weird about them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if they couldn't have just switched to NAT-PMP port forwarding like Proton does.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

hello, comrades. thanks a lot for your effort. just to be sure, is this community maintained by the same staff from r/Piracy? i deleted my Reddit account months ago and i can't check it out myself... ^^U

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was the top mod in /r/piracy, so ye

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

aa, thank you for replying and confirming! :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Myself I moved here only and don't plan to keep /r/piracy alive. However some other mods are dedicated to being unpaid jannitors for spez, so :shrug:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

that's very sad, i'm sorry.

one may feel unsupported because others don't have enough courage to leave Reddit, leaving you alone with this, which perhaphs is more difficult than moderating r/Piracy without mods.

Might even feel outrageous if they joined later only in case Lemmy is a success thanks to the people here, but i don't know.

i find you people very brave and forward-looking, thank you all for your effort <3

Can’t figure out how to ‘save’ a post in the wefwef app. Anyone?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you work it out lemme know, the “bookmark”, it does nothing!”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank god for Lemmy

I guess

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Im so confused as to why this is titled "Lemmy Edition" but all the hyperlinks lead back to the privated reddit sub. Maybe I'm missing something. I'll just stick to the rentry link but I'd think it's better off to just remove this to avoid confusion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

update: ripped.guide has returned to normalcy...

their domain seems to have been hijacked by a disgruntled former staff member who deliberately ruined the site. maybe you could add the site back? it was quite a useful resource.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would suggest Ripped is removed at the bottom, all explained below vvvv :/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Stared at this for so long, everything's looking pink now, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ok but that screenshot is cancer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The links under section 1 link to Reddit, may be an idea to host those elsewhere?

EDIT: I missed the link at the bottom, looks like it's all on rentry.co
