“The site will be going private on March 23”
What does that mean exactly? It’s not the same as going down? Will there be a way to access it?
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy

will be a shame if it shuts down, because the site is really good and I’ve been using it for a while :(
How to register?
Their private ftp seems to have disappeared as well as site admins contact info. I thing “going private” means “going away completely”.
I don’t know what they mean by that, but I hope they don’t fully close or return later with a revamped service but it turns out that it’s turned into a virus infested service. I actually like them since their UI is clean and just works on my desktop/laptop.
What is it for? I only know gog.com.
Why don’t you bother to take a gander at the community this post is in?
it means you’ll have to be a registered member to have access after it goes private.
They also conveniently have NO information on how to register. Really seems like “going private” means “shutting down”
Gross.
Glad I never relied on them, though. Their download process always seemed weird to me.
Do you know of some other source for GoG files?
Before this website I used to download from dauphong or mercs215 on the pirate bay
No, sorry.
I would just use 1337x, but I recognize that’s only appropriate if you have a VPN.
torrent or OCHs?
And how do you register? I assume you have to donate? There’s no other option anywhere.
i have no idea.
When they started doing away with torrents I stopped even bothering trying their site.
what do you use instead?
I search for torrents, I usually find anything I want, sometimes it takes a while because the torrents are not very active.
now it says:
well, idk who thinks that but they’re clearly wrong. I’ve never gotten malware from it and it’s even on the megathread…
I think that addition is mostly interesting because it shows the mindset of the site’s owners - they feel bitter and put-upon, like they’ve put a bunch of work into the site and gotten little or nothing back. Maintaining the site must be a lot of work. Not that surprising that they’d decide to go private, I guess.
