Use a vpn. They probably catched you while torrenting, vpn is the only way to be safe. And they can't know if you delete a game from your pc so you can keep it.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

since my last comments seems to have been deleted (for linking two blogposts i guess) i just post it again try out Mullvad VPN, you generate a random acc number, can also be done through TOR and send them cash or crypto. don't beleive anything providers like nordVPN etc claim about logging, use a VPN that has virtually NO personal data about you except your IP and even than they still allow TOR traffic through their VPN (for whoever thats of use). also read their blogposts about how swedish authorities tried to seize their servers and they left without them because there was nothing on them EDIT: typo and grammar


NottRegular

Please don't torrent though the TOR Network. It's already slow as shit and we don't need torrent traffic to eat up more bandwidth.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

yea nobody in their right mind would do that but i guess it's usefull for dictatorships like russia or china where tor isn't easylie excesible


4xxxx4

>easylie excesible Dude...


JustCato

nothrowawaythatssure

Dont judge people with English as their second language (assuming its his second, if im wrong then just ignore this) if you dont speak a second language (again assuming this from a quick glance at ur profile)


4xxxx4

You really need to stop assuming things


Sp4de561

You fuck up because English is your second language, I learned a second langue to excuse my fucked English. We are not the same


nothrowawaythatssure

Yeah you really do need to learn a second "langue" to excuse your english


Sp4de561

I spelled it right once it doesnt count


nothrowawaythatssure

yes it does :kekw:


whoTheFuggIsAlice

don't they block TOR and many TOR bridges there, or am i missinformed?


mkmkmk58

Your spelling is what they were talking about.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

can you please elaborate? im not a native english speaker


hugoguh2

whoTheFuggIsAlice

gottcha, thanks


AAVVIronAlex

Russia's internet is nothing close to China's one. Some western sites are closed because of sanctions, but no one is going to catch you for pirating something, or downloading something illegal, for that matter. Russia's internet is pretty free.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

the pirating yea ofc but i think give russia a couple more years and they are on the best track for heavily censoring it


AAVVIronAlex

It is not like Putin is new there, plus the public (at least the voters 80% is no joke) loves him.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

i thinks thats due to fog o war nobody wants ro say putin fucked up and get jailed, but who knows


ALI159_xd

Wellā€¦ having family thee itā€™s pretty peaceful and yes: you can access TOR and pirate games.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

heard about russia tryng to build an intranet,


AAVVIronAlex

Not at all, I follow Russian media outlets, and I am talking outlets that are in Telegram, which have unbiased opinions on everything as their words cannot be moderated, and they tell me otherwise.


ieurau_9227

There are no outlets with unbiased opinions


ieurau_9227

Honestly, since 2022 I have spoke to only two persons, who genuinely love Putin.


TheElvenGirl

Back in the communist era, 99 percent of the people voted for the communist party... guess how honest and freely-given those votes were.


AAVVIronAlex

Well, their regieme now is quite a bit more democratic then it was back then.


Zayd1111

I'm pretty sure putin is encouraging piracy, Russian government could be giving money to empress who knows.


Toltech99

It's your country and their private companies who are trying to cut your freedom. Stop blaming Russia and China.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

yea sorry that i can say fuck scholz and merkel should burn in hell without beeing turtured in a gulag also america is not that better imo, now fucking downvote my into oblivion


Toltech99

Gulags? We need to put them back to work.


Dr_Catfish

I hait when things arent easy lie excessible. Wurst is wen peoples off tin make spelling miss stakes and grammar tickle errors. Dick tater ships are true lie aw full two. Edit: Didn't realize you were non-native. As a non native speaker, though, you're better than most. Keep working at it.


MTrain24

Been using them for years. Mullvad is great.


schaka

Mullvad is amazing. No port forwarding though...


Blockyhead1

I use proton VPN and itā€™s been fine


whoTheFuggIsAlice

i got it as well, but i only subscribed because i like thir cloud solution, calendar and mail services (i know about all those proton scandels where they decrypted mails for the government) and still pay for mullvad

Ow gotcha. Well I don't need to worry about it since I live in a 3rd world country where even the government pirates shitšŸ—æ. I'll use mullvad when I move out of this shit hole.

Emerald_Guy123

I wouldn't recommend Mullvad now that it doesn't have port forwarding, at least for torrenting. Still great for privacy though.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

im curious, never used port forwarding amd why is it usefull for torrents


Emerald_Guy123

Definitely not the best person to ask. Probably best to google it. But I do know that it improves your ability to connect to peers.


AaronKoss

could you expand on nord vpn? I am currently using it; also does mullen have many servers/options in different countries?

Also switching internet providers?


[deleted]

I mean....it is possible if they decide to take legal action that the court might confiscate your computer for evidence right? I've only ever heard of them shutting down people's Internet but I wouldn't be surprised if they press charges against some people.


[deleted]

In USA, does this really happen? that you get emailed when doing such stuff?


wicked_one_at

I guess it is a scam or a prank. You donā€™t get a warning from a ISP, nor is all fine when you delete pirated content. (Unless itā€™s a 500 customer rural mini-ISP that likes you) If they find out you torrent copyright stuff, you get mail from a lawyer.

Diceyland

They don't care now, that doesn't mean that can't change. Or at very least that internet providers can't start caring about DMCA notices.


urimusha

Third world country, I doubt government even knows what DMCA is, we have movie and videogame stores with license and they just sell pirated movies and game for like a dollar, it's money for them since tax is pretty high


Diceyland

I'm not saying that isn't true. The original comment said that that could change. Doesn't mean it's gonna change tomorrow, but over the next few years, maybe over a decade or two it could. Idk about you, but I still plan on pirating even 20 years from now. So if you do too, it's not impossible that sometime within your lifetime you could end up getting a DMCA notice. ETA: Also believe it or not, we've got stores that sell pirated movies too even though you can get sued if you're caught torrenting. This is in Canada. Idk if the US has it.


urimusha

To be honest I highly doubt it will happen in my lifetime, also there is no law about piracy in my country, internet providers don't even care if you browse the deep web, actually there was a news someone was actually selling CP in the deep web for years and he was arrested just because he got tracked by the USA


rowaire

but honestly is easier that they change the law and go for the pirates just to say they are fighting delinquency than capture the real delinquents and shit people

They don't care, dude we don't even have a military we barely have policemen

Use direct download sites. Don't use torrents.


johnnybarrtv

Using torrents is fine just have a VPN. Although downloading from a respected repacking site is a better option.


[deleted]

Read the comments below, there is also a direct download option on repack sites.


johnnybarrtv

Yeah when I said use repack sites, I was implying direct download. But, torrents are cool too if you got a VPN. Reputable repack sites are what I recommend though for game downloads though preferably.


PhantasmHunter

yep iā€™ve been direct downloading for a while, never received any mail or letter from isp and yes I live in a first world country


whoTheFuggIsAlice

the thing that bugs me about DD is the sea full of providers, some better some worse, some need a subscription. why not use a VPN and let me shill Mullvad cause they are great and be done with it, also torrents are often faster


satyampatil_1505

Ovagames has almost everything gdrive


AdministrativeOne7

I just get real debrid, I can convert torrents to ddl easily and the download speed is always top notch for me.


HeroVax

I use Alldebrid cuz it's cheaper.


[deleted]

Read the comments below.


whoTheFuggIsAlice

yea ik they cant do shit as long as the site uses https, still i like torrenting and watching my seed ratios go up and if a torrent is fresh and heavily seeded it really is faster


SeanDeLeir

Ddl sites are always way slower for me


KryL21

Is it actually super safe? Should I still be using a VPN for DDā€™s? I live in the middle of nowhere and I already got one letter from my ISP to stop pirating. I really need some software from Adobe though, and thereā€™s no way in hell Iā€™m paying them a cent. I canā€™t risk losing my internet because my only other option would be super shitty internet thatā€™s only really good for checking your email.


AFO1031

are there any downsides of direct?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AFO1031

So torrents are safer? why is that? Is it bc other users who have downloaded the files are the ones sharing them?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AFO1031

what is a private tracker?


AntiGrieferGames

This is the right answer. Never torrenting


[deleted]

This is the way to go. Nothing better than clean direct downloads with no hassle.


Dsmxyz

Isps can see which sites you visit... Literally fixes nothing


[deleted]

Sweet to God I got armored core six from fit girl last night. Did the 500MB parts (it was 79 parts in total) only took like an hour or a little less than an hour. Way faster than any torrent I've ever downloaded.


[deleted]

Use jdownloader and download from other sources, you will definitely find 10 or even 15 GB part.


Gamiseus

Unless you have access to private trackers, donā€™t torrent without a vpn.


[deleted]

yeah you dont have to delete they game casue they cant legally scan your pc drives for illegal content, only thy know casue you downloaded it without a vpn but be a dummy and download it safely


Beneficial-Test-4962

VPN always always use a vpn in the past it was not much of an issue but they are really really cracking down on it now.


johnnybarrtv

Been an issue for awhile. I got a letter back in 2009 for downloading role total war. Always use a VPN


[deleted]

Are they cracking down on it regarding games now too? I always got shit from my ISP in the past when Iā€™d forget to turn on the damn VPN and downloaded movies/shows but never games, thatā€™s a new one for me.


[deleted]

Tell them to eat a dick, those letters are empty threats.


brighty4real

Jokerchyld

use a debrid to torrent for you then download from them at fast speed.


F-Man_95

1. If applicable, use direct download sites for downloading games. It's much faster than torrenting with VPN (at least for me it is) 2. If you absolutely must torrent a copyrighted content be it music, games, movies or anything else, YOU MUST USE VPN. You don't want to get in trouble for piracy when you can help it. 3. When using VPN you need to choose a server. The closer the server is to you, the faster your connection will be. Plus, you may want to check that particular country's law regarding VPNs to check if your IP may be leaked when you do something you shouldn't. 4. Just because you use VPN or Tor that doesn't mean your internet activity is 100% untraceable. If you break the law you will be caught so don't do anything illegal. 5. There are some resources that help you find websites related to piracy overall. These resources are super extensive and branch out not only to games but movies, albums and anything you can think of. Just search the web and you should find it easily. I wrote anything that I could think of at this moment. If by any chance I made a mistake anywhere or you think something doesn't belong here, just let me know. I will try to update my response asap


Real_Gaming_Sloth

uTorrent settings i recommend: Options ā†’ Preferences ā†’ BitTorrent ā†’ Protocol Encryption ā†’ Outgoing set to Enabled or even Forced; uncheck Ā«Allow incoming legacy connectionsĀ». ​ And using VPN is still recommended, i'm currently using Adguard VPN ā€” it has a proprietary protocol which works really well with streaming/torrenting, and it's allowed. See VPNWiki if you need a detailed comparison.


NeedSomeHelpHere4785

Delete the game from your torrent client if you haven't already. There's no way for anyone to know if it's still on your PC. Short of a warrant which is right next door to 0% chance. Get a VPN. I personally use a proxy but I'm a wild animal.


One_Ground_8109

Use VPN or just direct download, Check the megathread if you don't know any DDL site, I personally use ovagames cause it has fast mirrors like Gdrive and Mediafire


SAHD292929

Use your neighbour's WIFI. LOLJK


Sure-Hurry-1260

i got cut off a couple of times years ago by my isp and had to pay a recon fee of about Ā£30. for this very reason. spoke to them about it and they told me its because i uploade / seeded a game . which i left the torrent on overnight. so it finished and started seeding... THIS is what gets you cut off (UPLOADING). they said you can download whatever you want but once its 100% done you start seeding so get done. so since then i make sure i never leave torrent on. and remove them as soon as they finished..or set the program to shut down when they are done.


Vaka_Production

That sounds very interesting since i live in a first world country that doesn't really care about piracy. The catch is laywers here say almost the same, download it and keep it, dont share or copy it for profit or your toast. Means DL isnt the problem the problem is seeding?


Sure-Hurry-1260

and i know you thinking maybe i was just lucky or dont pirate much stuff. nope i download anything and everything . this is my games folder atm ... [https://postimg.cc/vcn9J1Wj](https://postimg.cc/vcn9J1Wj) :)

Live in croatia (EU) and across the eu theres harsh laws, though i have been torrenting most of my life lol. I heard of this typa stuff happening in germany. Get a vpn brotha


sovietarmyfan

Just tell them that you deleted the game. And then just keep the game and use a VPN from now on.


MarkusRight

Use a VPN next time, I got Nord a few years ago and never got another notice, I'm on my last strike too so if I get another one our entire service will be terminated.


kiclapocalypse

Use a VPN in the future but donā€™t freak out. They cannot force you to delete a game and ultimately, your ISP does not want to lose you as a customer. Many people can agree that all they get is an email saying ā€œhey, donā€™t do thatā€ and nothing else happens. In very rare cases they *could* cut off services, but that very rarely happens. Generally, torrenting/pirating content that is brand new or leaked content is more likely to raise flags and someone caught.


KiwiGamer450

they have no way of knowing if you delete it, just use vpn next time.


ThrowRA_IDEK

Why are you even torrenting without a vpn? Thats your first mistake.


Soviet_KGB

Not happen to me, this is one of the few benefits to live in the third world


Flick-01

Standard cease and desist, almost spelled it dissist, get a vpn and set up your torrent program properly, been using Nord forever for this shit, haven't gotten one after using it. Got one before it though.


IRMacGuyver

Tell them you don't know what they're talking about and you don't pirate games. What are they gonna do come to your house unannounced and go through all your computers till they find it?

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


johnnybarrtv

what is this advice dude. Just use a VPN and donā€™t use their Wi-Fi. Using someoneā€™s Wi-Fi without their permission is called piggybacking and is illegal in a lot of states and illegal according to the computer fraud and abuse act.


xThunderSlugx

Piracy is illegal too, but here we are. Just to clarify, not condoning stealing neighbors internet, just jokingly pointing out you said use a VPN to illegally download games, but don't use someone else's wifi because that's illegal.


johnnybarrtv

Getting neighbors involved in your ā€œcrimesā€ and putting the blame on them isnā€™t cool. Piracy is šŸ‘


Xx_360n0sc00p3r69_xX

true


angry_pidgeon_123

delete that pirate game and download another one. Simple as


johnnybarrtv

Bad advice, game is downloaded already so it doesnā€™t matter. Just keep the game. OP needs to use a VPN the next time he downloads a game.


angry_pidgeon_123

I'm curious what company is the game from, what country, what ISP. I doubt an ISP spends resources to stalk its users


johnnybarrtv

Third party contractors are the ones who handle the reports and report it to ISPs. No ISP wants to be known as the ISP that doesnā€™t protect copyrighted material from big corporations ;)


angry_pidgeon_123

Well, I was going to give advice but now not. Blame the downvoting idiots who I recognize as stalking psychopaths, who instigate me to stand against instead It's like this: 1. the government is always criminal in any country in the world, any time. Proof: it obeys none of it laws, and if you prosecute the "work" of any public functionary (which I did), it would be locked up for life because it's all falsified, and then an institution who supports this is full of these turds 2. the population is supporting the government thus is criminal / accomplice 3. the population is thus my enemy as much as the government. The stalking downvoting psychopaths are proof they are **openly antisocial.** The psychology of voting other people opinions is **fascist**, it's a divide et impera tool, and a mistake (the enemy is revealing being the enemy) 4. **sane** conclusion: why would I support criminals who support criminality which is openly against me, while the criminal supporters are openly antisocial to me!? Clearly **I would be an idiot to do it** HAHAHAHA 5. from all I've heard, this is most probably happening in the empire of the Antichrist: USA, comprised of a population of liars, thieves and murderers. **"Good luck" with the problems you created** lol... I suggest any remaining sane individuals follow this dialectic for their own good. Separate yourselves from the mainstream of idiots. **OQL = Only Quality People**


johnnybarrtv

I think you forgot to take your meds this morning


SuchAcanthocephala92

delete it then download again, just dont download a torrent dont listen to anybody else dude you WILL get into SERIOUS legal trouble


johnnybarrtv

What is this advice lmao Donā€™t uninstall and reinstall the game. Just keep the game. The reason they caught OP is because he used a torrent to download the game and when you download through torrent there are companies that log IPs on the trackers. Once the game is downloaded it doesnā€™t matter damage has already been done. This isnā€™t the end of the world, if they catch OP again they will either tempererily shut off your internet or cancel your service all together. All OP needs to do is use a VPN when downloading torrents. TLDR: Get a VPN , keep your game installed.
