- The r/Piracy Subreddit and c/Piracy Lemmy is where our major vessels of online pirates congregate.
- It is critical to save this URL since it will serve as a steady compass for where our ships are currently stationed.
- â This Megathread is updated often. There are no quality control checks on any copies that are mirroring this one.
â 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 on r/Piracy Subreddit or c/Piracy Lemmy.

Torrent Sites:
You will likely need a VPN to download torrents to avoid receiving Copyright notices from your ISP - unless, your country does not care about piracy. Read more in the VPN section further in this thread. Torrents are P2P downloads - you download from other people who have downloaded the file. No servers are involved.

Direct Download Sites:
Direct Downloads are any normal download. You download the file from a server through a web browser. It is significantly safer to download this way and you will not need a VPN. In some cases, you will need a VPN to access blocked filehost sites (e.g. ZippyShare is blocked in some EU countries). It is recommended to use a Download Manager mentioned further down the Mega Thread to help manage your downloads.
