How safe is uTorrent/Torrenting in general. I am somewhat new

VPN is key

Pay for it you cheapo, torrents always download at shit speed and you need like a million other softwares to mount and decompress the games. Not worth IMO, just buy the game on Steam or Kinguin.net for cheaper prices. And yes, they usually have virus, the cracks are full of trojans.

>>718542467
100% lies ignore this

just go to pirate bay and download things with skulls, if there was anything wrong with them people would know and they wouldn't be popular and get skulls

pirated hundreds of games, no vpn and never been notified by isp, maybe one virus in total. Depends where you get your shit from. If you have a spare HDD, install windows onto that and specifically use it for pirating shit.

very dangerous I would not do it unless you know what you are doing. just call someone you know who is good at that shit.

>>718542518
I've downloaded some games in the past. You always need to mount like 50 parts and 50% of the time you get errors with one of them. Shit speed and not enough seeders is true too, not lying here mate

>>718542467
Are you fucking retarded? I started using torrents when i was 12years old and never had any problems. You need just minimum of brains to not get in trouble.

>>718542467
>>718542518
>>718542559
>>718542564
Not getting who to believe here, and also I'm not a cheapo, I have one hobby and cant afford 20-60$ every time I want a game, sorry man.

Never had to mount or likewise. Rum the exe and youre good to go. And seed ffs

>>718542021
There's nothing to fear as long as you don't upload.
- It's all scaremongering (only temp-bandaid that works)
- You'll just get 1-4 warning letters from your ISP
- Get VPN and you'll never get caught, which you won't anyway.

I've had 4 ISP:s and I got 1700 torrents on qBittorrent and nothing's happened.


>>718542467
>shit speed
Various like any other download platform.

>need million other softwares
7zip and a torrent client.

>cracks are full of trojans.
No, shitty AV software detects them because they work similar to trojans, but they're not trojans or harmless any way. If you even get any virus by pirating, you're doing it wrong.

>>718542690
Thats very true my dude, torrents is always good

>>718542783
Forgot to add: I use no VPN or any other anonymous methods.

>>718542021
Don't torrent games, it's bad luck. Wait for a steam sale, and buy it for $5.

>>718542755
Pretty hard to find exes though, you almost always need Daemon Tools or some other ISO software. Plus noone ever seeds, so you download from a guy in Korea and get like 0.1 mbps

>>718542690
skyrim is like $15 mate

>>718542783
Where exactly do you torrent shit anymore now that pirate bay and kat are dead? I don't trust any of these mirrors and literally every other torrent site look so fucking sketchy. Especially the names.

>>718542690
People like to complain even when it's free. Don't listen to those fucktards. Just get winrar/7zip, a torrent software and MAYBE daemon tools.

Or buy cheap keys

People telling me to buy it, I just can't it's not really an option, all my money is going to my household.

>>718542783
Shitty foreign download services limit your speed. In torrents your speed is limited by the seeders. If you buy a game on Steam, it downloads to your true internet speed, doesn't vary from that.
Need WinRAR/7ZIP, Torrent Client, Daemon Tools, and if something goes wrong, you've just lost like 8 hours or so.

>>718542559
A vpn is still a good idea though

i have literally never gotten a virus on my computer and i pirate all the fucking time, including ebooks, games, porn, movies, anime, you fucking name it. just read the comments before you DL

>>718542620
>You always need to mount like 50 parts and 50% of the time you get errors with one of them
I don't know what the fuck you're doing but you're doing it wrong, 99% of popular games you just download a zip, unzip it, mount the iso with daemon tools lite or some other free software, install, copy paste crack into install folder, play, easy. And things are only slow if there's like, twice as many leechers as seeders, and even then it's like, okay, you might have to wait a day or two at worst, and most of the time the seeder/leecher ratio is only shit for a week or two after a game's launch.

It's easy as fuck and you're incredibly unlikely to get any sort of virus if you stick to babby mode and only use popular torrents from people with skulls on pirate bay or similar sites. I have literally not gotten a single virus or trojan in about 6 years, and the last time I actually got one I just did a system restore and the problem was solved.

People who have problems with doing this are either lying to you to discourage you from pirating because they're moralfags, or they're fucking morons who can't work out the simplest shit like "download a free program that takes literally 2 minutes to download and install and 30 seconds to work out how to use".

>>718542946
15 bucks is a dinner out. If you truly want the game, you could spare eating outside once and buy it. Not that fucking expensive, you won't die if you spend 15 dollars

Honestly you only get in trouble for seeding, not downloading.

>>718543053
why not have both retard? why give bethesda your $15 when you can spend it on your waifu instead?

It's 5 fucking Euro on g2a. Even for eastern European poorfag like me it's cheap

ITT: honest people vs rich moralfags thinking up bullshit problems, who don't understand someone might not have the money to buy all the games they want to play

>>718542896
I don't understand when people say TPB is dead, it's like a 20% decrease of activity. Yes KAT is down, and there's shit mirrors out there, but atleast they provide all the previous torrents with only a slighly less speed (still free m8). Best KAT mirror so far: http://kat.how/

Other sites I use:
http://extratorrent.cc/
http://rarbg.to/index8.php
https://yts.ag/ (they say they're official but they're not, still has the same quality as YIFY, rest in peace)

>>718542961
>Shitty foreign download services limit your speed
This is not how torrenting works. Yes there's less seeders (sometimes - depends on source), and it's still free. Steam servers are placed in several areas that can affect performance, especially during sales. Some Steam products has lesser bandwith priority then others.

>lost like 8 hours or so
Do it over the night, and it's still free made by some random dude who wanted to provide us by using he's free time, and still risks his life.

>>718543081
Do you work at a McDonalds or something? If you're crying for 15 dollars then you're a homeless piece of garbage and shouldn't even have a fucking PC that can run Skyrim. 15 dollar gifts for your wife? Then you are a cheapo

>>718543053
You see, the thing is. All my money is going to my household and my family, we don't eat out anymore, I just want us to eat. I get to play vidya like a few hours a day maximum and don't want to spend money.

He wants to fucking play skyrim, game came out like 6 years ago. He can wait a couple months for a sale.

>>718543170
Then they shouldn't fucking buy any games, they should work for the money to get it. It's how life works. If they can't work for it, then they shouldn't have it. Didn't your parents ever teach you that?

>>718542021

Buy it. Support the developers. Trust me, Skyrim is worth it. I torrented it at first, but then when I realized how much I played it, I went and downloaded on steam. Do you have a SteamID by any chance?

You really cannot afford Skyrim?
You're either underage or pathetic.
Both is not out of the realm of possibility either.

>>718543265
"Waste". So spending money on entertainment is a waste? Do you never go to the cinema or amusement parks? Do you not pay for TV? What is the fucking difference between that and paying for a fucking game? You can pirate films and watch them at your house. You can watch shitty tv channels on your PC on internet. Why don't you do that then?

>>718543347
>then they shouldnt fucking by games

which is why I dont plan on buying the game, kek

>>718542021
I don't know which country you're from but that's about the only thing that might be a problem.

Other than that, I've been downloading for 15+ years and the last 10 years i've never gotten a virus. Just check comments, make sure there are seeds and dl away. Speeds are bad if you've got a shit connection and there aren't many seeds, I usually get between 1mb to 5 mb depending on the number of seeds.

There's really no risk at all.Skyrim is an easy get, it's got to be one of the most downloaded games of the last 10 years

>You will never go back to the time before /b/ was a household name and moralfags would infest threads about torrenting

>>718543386
lol thats some crazy logic

If you're in a household where you have to work to help keep your family alive and you cant afford 15$ or 20$ or whatever you're pathetic? man thats sum sick logic

>>718543406
Then you're a fucking faggot for starting a thread to ask for help stealing it. Just fucking steal it. As stupid as you are, I don't doubt you'll catch as many viruses as you can. I bet you live off of welfare, too, you useless fuck.

it's how life works for people that can have a job. I know this might shock you, but underage play the games too. and not every parent is willing to pay money for some abstract data just so their kids can spend more time in front of the computer.
and this isn't even a thread about morality of torrents, it's about their safety, mister IPayMyTaxes

>>718543238
Go to pirate bay. Search for game you want. Sort by seeders. Find the one with the most seeders that has a purple or green or whatever skull. This indicates that the user has been uploading torrents that are good and are not just viruses for a while and are trusted, essentially. Torrent that. Download winzip or some other unzipping software, and daemon tools lite. The downloaded game will probably come in zipped form, if so, unzip it. The game will probably then be in iso form, so you need to use daemon tools lite to mount the iso on a virtual drive like it's a disc. Then you install it, then you go back to the download folder, go into the crack folder, and copy paste the crack into the game's directory. Then you run the game using the cracked exe. Your anti-virus (assuming you have anti-virus if you're not dumb) might tell you it's a virus. If so, it's probably because it's a false-positive, assuming you downloaded it from a trustworthy source. If it blocks it automatically, you might have to add it to an exceptions list. In the extremely unlikely situation, as in this has never once happened to me ever, that you get a virus from a popular user with a skull from pirate bay, they're easy as fucking shit to get rid of, just like do a system restore if you can't just tell your antivirus to remove it.

Of course, you could just work this out yourself because it's easy as shit to do and the risks are super minimal. People just enjoy fearmongering because they're moralfags and want to discourage people from pirating by lying and pretending it's difficult and you'll get busted and get viruses.

>>718543698
You know what? When I wanted something, I worked for it. I've had a job since I was 14 digging ditches for water lines. Under age kids can sure as hell work too. Go to /v/, they'll tell you the same damn thing- work for it, then play. You sound like your perforated anus; a gaping hole, waiting for a man's cock. "Give it to me! I NEED SKYRIM SOOO BAD!"

>>718543846
Just admit it, you're poor and feel edgy by downloading pirated games. Or your daddy doesn't lend you his credit card, you choose

>>718543846
Sometimes I just think It's because they don't know how to do it. I started pirating just because it would take me longer to get to the store and back than to DL a 8gb file.
It's fucking easy and I'd say it helps the industry.

uTorrent is fucking shit laced with malicious ads. Torrenting itself depends on what country you lived in. Some country spend more on tracking down pirates (and leechers like you) than others. Use VPN if you want more protection, or better yet, use a SeedBox of you only plans on torrenting. These VPNs and Seedboxes costs money averaging to $5-$20 a month, so it's a consideration over actually buying what you want legally. I bought Skyrim few years ago for six whole dollars when it was on sale. If you torrent on the basis of censorship, I couldn't blame you though, because I sometime have to do that too.

>>718544120

Frankly, since getting a job, I don't even pirate anymore.

All I know is if you take like 8-10 you start to hallucinate. I think they have dipenhydramine or something like that. OTC in the USA, don't need a prescription or anything to buy them

>>718547088
I'd have had no respect for my father if he gave me a credit card. I have plenty of money these days, by yes I've been poor in the past. I still won't buy a game outright unless I've had chance to play it first. I mean look at that No Man's Sky malarkey.

>>718542021
If you're a newb it can be dangerous, not because of it being illegal but more because you're downloading something that could be infested with viruses, trojans or anything.

If you play games on a pc that you also do shopping with you're asking yto get your cc details taken. Keep in mind that pirates do this for FREE, you have to wonder why.

Given that games are often pretty cheap on steam it seems kind of pointless to me, download movies, music etc but not games or apps unless you know what you're doing.

>>718547242
kek diphenhydramine. I've read about how fun this shit is (although 99% people dont like it), its a deliriant in doses above 300mg. unfortunately they arent being sold in my country, I live in north europe. would try them tbh, being schizo + this sounds fucking insane

But if you don't want want those warnings from your isp set your torrent client to force encryption and only accept encrypted connections if your client doesn't support this, its garbage.

Nothing wrong with torrenting. Don't use uTorrent tho cos it's been bought by the MPAA( I've got source if needed) use something like Deluge. For mounting get Daemon Tools Lite, free with ads. Just follow instructions in readme.txt otherwise look it up online. Anyone with half a brain can get it done
