What you’ll need first is a good VPN to keep your connection anonymous. Then you need to make a folder in your C drive and you have to go into your settings and then make said folder exempt from being scanned by the antivirus and malware protection software in your computer.

Once this file had been created use the magnet link for whatever game you want to download and it’ll give you a prompt, like for example if I’m using qbittorrent it’ll say like “Do you want to open qvitorrent “ and all you gotta do is click open and you should see a page where you can choose where to download this torrent to once your on qbittorrent (just an example, could be any torrent), you then select that exempt folder you created earlier.

If you don’t select the right folder then during the download your computer will flag specific files and the download will be corrupt. Anyways so after that it should start to download. After it is complete now you can double click on it and the fitgirl download prompts will come up and during this time you will choose various options and then once that’s done the game will start to download to your computer and once it’s done you can enjoy ! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

You don’t need a VPN bud. Fitgirl also uses direct download which you do not need a VPN for and you don’t need to seed back. Also, a VPN slows down your internet speed a lot especially if you are using a free one.

For direct downloads you do need to download all the parts though. Once you download all the parts, unpack part one and it will create a folder with your game install. Run the installer and you should be good to go.

Can’t I do without exempting the folder from scanning?

Are there any good free vpns?

Could you please elaborate on downloading from direct links.

Proton VPN is a solid choice, paid or free

With direct download, when you click on one of the links, it should take you to a pastebin page with a bunch of download links. Those are all the parts you will need to download. Once you have all the parts downloaded, extract part 1. It will automatically extract the rest of the parts into one folder with the installer. Run the setup and you’re good to go.

Ok i did all the folder stuff gonna download the vpn now

Hi! I’m also really new to pirating (I have a game I really really wanna play). I downloaded the parts but I’m not sure what to do after that. How do I extract them??

Downloading qbittorrent right now

You need a WinRAR or 7zip but before you do anything, turn off antivirus and make an exclusion for the folder where you will be installing your game. Right click the first part and select Extract to “/foldername” then in the extracted folder, run the setup. After it’s installed, turn antivirus back on.

Sounds good bro! You’ll be gaming in no time!

I have done all these steps, everything was working fine, i opened the game go to the title screen, but it keeps freezing at a black screen when i hit start game any help?

Yeah looks fun i dont know what the first game im gonna install is maybe thinking gta 5?

Might be missing some redistributables or you may need to update drivers

Also which magnet should i install there is 3

You’re very helpful. Appreciate it :grin::+1:t2:
