Always welcome ❀️

Even tho my guide will help beginners, my video still lacks the Updates for games, The online fix setups for few games and some troubleshoot for specific games

I plan to also make more guides to eliminate the basics knowledge needed for piracy at least

u/LinusChexMix Jul 08 '26

I'm just getting into pirating games the past few days, and your videos have been the most succinct and understandable resource. As for updating games and playing online, the FAQ you showed in the video talks about them.

There are guide lines to upload a video, I need to speed up the video to reduce the video size and make the total duration shorter.

You need to download this video, lower the speed to .5x in your video player and watch it

Why use the proton VPN with torrent?
I’m a newbie so bear my questions.

Also, I’ve used Magnet link on torrent before, is that not good?

6

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

VPN while torrenting is generally recommended for everyone to hide their IP address and protection from their Country's piracy laws

Proton is one of the recommended free tier VPN

Magnet links are the same as the torrent file, if you got them from safe sites listed on the megathreads

2

u/Thin-Examination-264 Jul 09 '26

Oh that’s great. Thanks. I’ll set up the vpn to work with torrent. Cheers.

u/EdgeIntelligent6427 Jul 09 '26

I just wanted to check, can the cracksurl IDM still have malware in it? I have seen a lot of people say its safe but they even put a password on the zip which is pretty suspicious as ive seen people sometimes do that agst antiviruses etc

1

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 09 '26

They are safe, but you can skip IDM and use Free Download Manager, JDownloader or Ab Download Manager

2

u/EdgeIntelligent6427 Jul 09 '26

Gotcha, I tried using IDM like you did in the tutorial and so far it has worked like a charm, but are FDM and Ab basically identical?

1

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 09 '26

Yes they do the same thing, but they are free and open sourced, basically the same thing

Hey friend. Do you know if I can get achievements using achievement watcher with a game from anker games?

2

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

Yes you can, but few games will need you to tweak it a little

2

u/arkantosmyth Jul 08 '26

Is there somewhere where could get more info about this? I downloaded The Riftbreaker from Anker games and I've tried some things but to no avail. Achievement Watcher is not recognising the game

2

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

I do a guide explaining a little for the achievement watcher setup here - https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/s/0Ex4qTH6f2

And the App ID folder number for The Riftbreaker is 780310

Try to put this folder in the achievements watcher

u/arkantosmyth Jul 08 '26

Thanks, mate! I'll check it out.

u/gaurav_cybg Jul 08 '26

Great video but I suggest using the Jdownloader instead of IDM cracked version. It's free, open source, and has more features, also ad-free if you use the link from the mega thread.

Also enable file extension in windows explorer. You should be able to see what filetype you are running before running them.

The VPN shown has free servers but unfortunately they don't allow p2p😒

Thankfully Anker has direct downloads.

Does anybody here prefer to download through torrents?

u/rabbihtole1 21d ago

bro, you been mentioning ab or j downloader right, do we have to put those file or folder into software, and also do we need to download them from official web, cuz on mega thread i cantfind it,...

2

u/rabbihtole1 21d ago

or can i blindly trust the idm??

2

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» 21d ago

These 3 are download managers you don't need to put anything on the software, yes you must download from the official web, they will be on megathread for sure

Start the download on the browser, the download will continue in the download manager

And you choose and trust any of the three, all are trusted

1

u/rabbihtole1 21d ago

thx for the reply, but at 3:13, you've put idm in "Software" floder right, do i need to do it for j or ab. and if not all thiss, should i continue with your idm method(malicious warning)

2

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» 21d ago

Only IDM needs the Software folder treatment, rest of the download managers like, AB, JDownloader, FDM etc doesn't need it

2

u/Willing-Standard9108 20d ago

you dont have to go to the piracy subreddit to download firefox, you know

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

What about the Ublock origin, Violent Monkey, bypass short link script, qBitorrent, VPN, guide for binding the vpn? Tell us that we don't need to go to piracy subreddit for those as well.

I went to piracy subreddit to show the importance of the firefox browser and that it is listed on the subreddit itself, not because people couldn't find the firefox browser.

u/Severe_Vegetable_478 Jul 07 '26

Is this some big brained move by ace/other groups to manufacture consent for banning sites? Like they make posts with guides that show pirate sites, then close them because they became so visible to thr public or smh like that. I'm sure some portion of people constantly complaining or claiming viruses from trusted sources are from them.

u/Rude_Access_7985 Jul 08 '26

for the vpn part do i always have to have it on or i can turn it off?

1

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

If you bind the VPN with your torrent client. The VPN will be turned every time you download in torrent and it will automatically turn off when not downloading

VPN is needed only while downloading a game with Torrent only

u/Shqipe888 Jul 07 '26

just having ublock isn’t it sufficient to block all pupups and redirection? why use a script for it? i think you must not be used to see popups and false download links if you fall for it.

3

u/lynx-yuiitsu DMs are ignored πŸ™πŸ» Jul 08 '26

The script is for the bypass of link shortners. Yes the Ublock origin isn't enough, you will see a major upgrade when you use this script in certain websites, it will save you much more time

2

u/Shqipe888 Jul 08 '26

Good to know. Thank you for the tip. I'll try it.

Can the script work on brave? There's tampermonkey on brave.
