๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Searching for a Download Link? This Is the Pirate World Lookup

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Films, books, music, software, paid courses and live TV โ€” 163 boards, trackers and indexers across a dozen languages, all still posting, plus the kit to find tomorrowโ€™s when tonightโ€™s go dark


mega-list ยท verified ยท beginner-friendly

Every trick below is one paste. Every door below shows a pulse before you knock.


:magic_wand: Steal these first โ€” sixty seconds, zero clicks

:electric_plug: Newest version of anything on GitHub, forever. Paste this into any RSS reader:
github.com/OWNER/REPO/releases.atom โ€” swap the names, done. No account, no cost.

:vertical_traffic_light: Find out which door is open this minute. open-slum.org pings every big shadow library every 5 minutes and shows UP / DOWN โ€” plus which look-alike domains are fakes.

:magnet: Search torrents that all still have a live seeder. Paste straight in your address bar:
torrents-csv.com/service/search?q=YOUR+SEARCH โ€” that database deletes anything with zero seeders.

:eyes: Read any Telegram channel with no account, no app. Drop /s/ into the link:
t.me/s/repack โ†’ the whole feed opens in your browser.

:person_raising_hand: Ask a human to re-upload a dead file. ZYZOOM runs a link-conversion desk โ€” post the title, staff re-host it to a fresh mirror for you.

:pushpin: Never chase a rotating domain again. Blocked sites pin their current address in a Telegram channel โ€” Movies4u and 1TamilMV both do it. Follow the channel, the address finds you.

:last_track_button: Bring a dead link back. Paste it into Archivarix Echo โ€” one lookup across Wayback, archive.today, Common Crawl and Memento tells you who still holds it.

:inbox_tray: Take a whole open folder before it moves. One line copies the lot to your disk:
wget -r -np -nH -c -R "index.html*" -w 1 https://site.tld/folder/


โ“ New to XDCC? It is confusing for ten minutes โ€” then it's the fastest, most fun rail you own

Get these three lines and the rest explains itself:

:door: IRC is a room, not a website โ€” the bot is a vending machine standing in that room. Thatโ€™s why thereโ€™s no search box on it: you search on an outside site (xdcc.eu) to learn which room, which machine, which slot number.

:person_standing: You have to be standing in the room. Join the channel first, or the machine canโ€™t see you and just says nothing.

:admission_tickets: One line buys one slot. /msg BotName xdcc send #123 means โ€œmachine, hand me slot 123โ€ โ€” it passes the file straight to you, no middleman. Busy? You get a ticket number and wait. Your clientโ€™s transfer window is your progress bar, and it picks up where it left off if the line drops.


The four moves

:one: Get a client. HexChat (free, Windows/Mac/Linux) or mIRC (the old faithful).

:two: Find the file on xdcc.eu / SkullXDCC / xdcc.info. Write down the four things every result gives you: network ยท channel ยท bot name ยท pack number.

:three: Connect to that network, then JOIN THAT CHANNEL. /join #channelname

:four: Send the bot one line, then accept the transfer when it pops up:

/msg BotName xdcc send #123

:high_voltage: Want none of the above? xdcc-cli (in the kit at the top) takes the same pasted line and downloads it like wget. XDCC Catcher (Windows, free Basic version, still updated 2025) does the joining, queueing, re-requesting and resuming for you โ€” closest thing to a torrent client for this.

:open_book: Learn it properly in 15 minutes

:ambulance: The four things that go wrong, and what they mean

What you see What it actually is
Bot says nothing at all You never joined its channel โ€” thatโ€™s the #1 beginner miss. Some channels also make you keep a second #chat window open or they kick you
โ€œAll slots full / youโ€™ve been queuedโ€ Completely normal. You wait your turn โ€” /msg BotName xdcc queue shows your position
You accept and nothing moves Your router/firewall is blocking the direct connection. Turn on passive DCC in your client, or forward the DCC port
The file you want isnโ€™t there Bots rotate their storage โ€” XDCC carries mostly recent releases. Search a different index before giving up

:speech_balloon: The cheat code nobody tells you: paste whatever the bot said โ€” the error, the odd line, the whole window โ€” straight into ChatGPT and ask what it means and what to type next. It knows IRC and XDCC syntax cold, and honestly the first ten minutes are the only hard part. Get past those and youโ€™re pulling 19 GB courses at full line speed with no seeders, no queue timers and no ads โ€” and it stops feeling like homework and starts being genuinely fun. :pirate_flag:

   the emoji is your bookmark โ€” come back, scan, land

:house: The mothership first: FMHY โ€” every category, search bar, updated daily. Nervous about safety? dbzer0โ€™s wiki puts a Firefox + uBlock + VPN checklist before the links.

:sweat_smile: Yes, yes โ€” FMHY. I know. We all know. Most-posted link on this forum, bookmarked since forever. Donโ€™t boo me โ€” itโ€™s here for the newbies, and leaving it out would be criminal. Now go check the rest, youโ€™re going to love it.


๐Ÿงฒ Books, films, music โ€” the swarms that can't die

The move: a magnet link points at a hash of the file, never at a folder on somebodyโ€™s server. Nothing to delete. Worst case the seeder count drops โ€” and that number sits right next to it, before you click.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: Torrents.csv throws out any torrent that hits zero seeders. Every result you get is guaranteed alive. Search it in a browser with the paste-string up top.

Door The loot
Annaโ€™s Archive Torrents 30M books + 100M papers, seed-health bar on every pack
Nyaa anime and Asian media โ€” click the Seeders column, take the green rows
RuTracker :russia: the biggest course + software index on earth
NNM-Club :russia: magnets with no account, SHA-256 posted so you know itโ€™s the real build
rutor :russia: no signup, front page is literally โ€œlast 24 hoursโ€
Kinozal :russia: 458k releases, ~900k seeders, ships its own block-bypass extension
Da MagNet searches the raw BitTorrent network itself
IPFS Clusters one line and youโ€™re mirroring Wikipedia or Gutenberg yourself

:high_voltage: Install qBittorrent, paste a magnet, glance at the seeder number. Thatโ€™s the entire skill.

๐ŸŒ Software and courses โ€” 15 languages, all still talking

The move: right-click โ†’ translate. A timestamp reads the same in every language. Last post an hour ago means the links inside are an hour old.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: Japan runs two anonymous hash-based P2P networks almost nobody outside Japan touches โ€” Perfect Dark and Share. Those pages hand you live starter nodes. Doujin, raws and JP software that exist nowhere else.

๐ŸŽ“ Paid courses only โ€” 28 vaults, sorted by how fast the file actually lands

Speed lives in the rail, not the website. A pretty course site on a free filehost makes you wait 60 seconds and caps you at 200 KB/s. A scruffy IRC bot hands you the same 19 GB course at line speed. So this list runs fastest-rail-first. :high_voltage:

:high_voltage: Straight off a bot โ€” no seeders, no queue, no countdown
The fastest rail on the internet and almost nobody uses it for courses. One direct socket from the bot to you.

Where Whatโ€™s parked there
xdcc.eu search udemy โ†’ caps out at 1,000+ course packs sitting on bots right now
SkullXDCC pluralsight โ†’ 1,555 packs, udemy โ†’ 417, LinkedIn Learning rips indexed into 2026
xdcc.info 711,000 files across 617 bots โ€” 2,500+ are ripped courses (1,241 Pluralsight, 402 Udemy, Packt, Oโ€™Reilly)

:high_voltage: Paste the pack line into xdcc-cli (already in the kit above) and it downloads like wget โ€” no IRC client, no channel, no chat.

:file_folder: Off Googleโ€™s own edge โ€” nothing is faster on a home line

Where Whatโ€™s parked there
de-digger searches every Google Drive file the world left public. Type the instructorโ€™s name, filter to Video or RAR, download from Googleโ€™s edge โ€” no queue, resumable
Internet Archive, the unlisted rips :gem_stone: strangers dump whole paid courses into the worldโ€™s biggest free library and nobody indexes them: 1,131 Udemy, 948 MasterClass, 506 Coursera items. Each one a single ISO (a 19 GB Finite Element course, a 12.5 GB Photoshop CC set) off Archiveโ€™s own datanodes โ€” no account, no cap, torrent-mirrored on the same page. Swap udemy in that URL for any brand

:airplane: Telegram โ€” resumable, no captcha, works on the phone
Telegramโ€™s own search is useless. These four fix that, then the file comes down Telegramโ€™s CDN.

Where What it does
Telegago Google, locked shut to t.me โ€” find the dump channels that never advertise
Lyzem crawls inside Telegram itself โ€” one course query returns 130,000+ hits in 124 ms
meow.tg ๆ–‡ไปถ (file) filter searches file titles โ€” reaches the huge Chinese channels
TGStat course catalog the phone book: every course channel ranked, with minutes since its last post so you skip the dead ones
@en_SearchBot ยท Semagram ยท Telagon describe the vault in plain words, get the channel

Stocked channels worth opening now: @Extreme_CursosGratis :brazil: (175k members, every course stamped with exact size + runtime) ยท @cursosbrazil :brazil: (each course gets its own channel โ€” a 173 GB, 109-hour English course sits in one) ยท @Free_course_apps :bangladesh: (1โ€“3 full bootcamps a day)

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Boards nobody bothers to translate โ€” the reason they stay unfarmed

Where :globe_with_meridians: Whatโ€™s inside
FreeSkladchina :russia: 100,000 threads of leaked paid courses โ€” Udemy alone has 1.5k. Serves off MEGA + Yandex.Disk
Sliv-Info :russia: fresh Udemy / ะŸั€ะฐะบั‚ะธะบัƒะผ / ะะตั‚ะพะปะพะณะธั rips every few hours, full lesson list printed in the open
NNM-Club (also listed above) :russia: its course tree runs nine sections deep โ€” IT alone is 94 pages. Free open registration
็ฝ‘็›˜่ต„ๆบ็คพ :china: paid courses by the terabyte โ€” one pack is 262 sets / 1.7 TB
ๅ›พๆฌง Tuostudy :china: navigation hub into ~400 TB of Aliyun Drive vaults, 10 TB of it pure paid-course rips
Tร i liแป‡u Share Free :vietnam: six years old, still posting Aug 2026 โ€” Google Drive primary, Fshare backup
SJeeXplore :india: :gem_stone: rips the $995โ€“$2,000 cohort courses (Maven AI Engineering Bootcamp, Matt Pocock, Academind) straight to MEGA. Zero third-party mentions anywhere โ€” genuinely unfound
WebPulse :nigeria: the old Xclusiveloaded crew โ€” Udemy and Oโ€™Reilly rips, plus one master Google Drive folder
Warez.Ge Tutorials :georgia: a daily Udemy / Skillshare / ZeroToMastery feed, 3โ€“4 mirrors per thread

:locked: The locked shelves โ€” worth the paperwork

Where Whatโ€™s inside
TheVault 108,000 torrents of the $997-a-seat kind โ€” paid seminars, trading and marketing group-buys
CertCommunity 60,000 members ripping full IT-cert bootcamps (CBT Nuggets, INE, Pluralsight, Cisco/CompTIA). Posts to Rapidgator/Nitroflare โ€” pair it with a debrid or it crawls
Opentrackers ยท E-Learning the door radar โ€” tells you the moment a private course tracker opens signups

:world_map: When any of these die

  • Course CSE โ€” one search box wired to Google but locked to course-piracy vaults only. Type the course name, see which vault currently has it.
  • Champagne Wiki ยท Education โ€” an independent piracy wiki (not an FMHY fork) keeping a maintained shortlist of course mirrors.

:warning: Archive.org is ISP-blocked in a few countries and the unlisted rips get DMCAโ€™d eventually โ€” grab it the day you find it, donโ€™t build a wishlist.

๐Ÿ“Ÿ Lists a robot keeps clean

The move: open the repo, look at the last commit date, check for โ€œForked fromโ€ under the name. Forks go quiet and never tell you. Go up to the original.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: nuclei-wordfence-cve runs a bot as its number-one contributor, 86,000+ commits deep, pulling a fresh batch in every day. 80,000 templates for the most-attacked software on the web, and the commit history is the proof it never sleeps.

Door The loot
free-programming-books 4,000 books + 2,000 courses, in your language โ€” pick your file in courses/
Awesome-Hacking 116kโ˜… โ€” the index of all the other lists
book-of-secret-knowledge 239kโ˜… of manuals, cheatsheets, one-liners
awesome-piracy 26.9kโ˜…, free to copy
awesome-web-security 13.7kโ˜… with a bot as its second-biggest contributor
IPTV Nexus 39,000 TV streams, each scored 0-100 for health, dead ones auto-retired
Leech-Mirror Groups todayโ€™s working Telegram mirror bots, refreshed daily
๐Ÿ“ฒ Phone only โ€” no computer needed

The move: grab an installer that pulls each app straight from its developerโ€™s own release page. The app store never enters the picture.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: NAB Tools pings 18 iPhone sideload sources live in your browser and shows Up / Down, so you only add ones answering today.

Android โ€” Obtainium (pulls from GitHub, GitLab, F-Droid, +20 more) ยท ReVanced Extended (ad-free YouTube, unlocked apps) ยท LSPosed modules (889 of them, cards say โ€œupdated 40 minutes agoโ€) ยท IzzyOnDroid ยท MMRL

iPhone โ€” WuXuโ€™s Library (AltStore / SideStore source) ยท Havoc (biggest tweak marketplace) ยท Zapstore (developer signs every release personally)

Desktop, same idea โ€” Scoop Extras-Plus (Windows) ยท Chaotic-AUR (Arch, prebuilt) ยท Pacstall (Ubuntu, newest Chrome and VSCode instead of aptโ€™s ancient ones) ยท Repology (colour table showing which of 400+ repos ships newest)

๐Ÿ“ฌ Make the drops come to you

The move: subscribe once. The newest release lands in your inbox, Telegram or torrent client on its own. Checking a page becomes something you used to do.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: changedetection.io watches any page that has no feed at all โ€” point it at a download page and it pushes you the moment the version changes.

Tool What lands in your lap
NewReleases.io name any repo or package, get pinged the second a version ships
RSS-Bridge builds a feed for sites that killed theirs โ€” 447 bridges, Telegram included
Prowlarr 500+ trackers collapsed into one feed URL
autobrr grabs a release the second itโ€™s announced, ahead of every website
SciOp every tag is an RSS feed qBittorrent auto-downloads from
AllForOne 738โ˜… โ€” one script that rakes every public nuclei-template repo into a single folder
๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ Takedown-proof โ€” signed and living on relays

The move: each listing is cryptographically signed and copied across relays. Seizing a website leaves the listings untouched.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: carl has a follow mode โ€” point it at a publisher and it grabs every torrent they have ever signed, then reseeds all of them forever. Subscribe once, mirror the whole catalogue.

DTAN opens like a normal torrent site, every row signed ยท NIP-35 is the format itself, so any app can read these listings and no single site stays the chokepoint ยท Radicle is a GitHub with no company behind it, so DMCAโ€™d code keeps living

๐Ÿ”Ž One box, live results โ€” nothing stored, nothing stale

The move: these ask the network right now instead of keeping a list. A result is a file that exists this second.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: xdcc.eu automatically drops any bot offline more than 5 days โ€” so every pack it shows you was alive this week. One channel alone carries 68,899 packs.

:gear: How XDCC works โ€” no torrent, no swarm, no seeders, no ratio. A bot sits in an IRC channel holding numbered files called packs. You send it one line, it opens a direct connection to your machine and pushes the file down. The speed comes from that one server rather than from how many people happen to be sharing, and nothing gets uploaded back out of you. Take it and leave.

xdcc.eu hands you the exact line to paste โ€” /msg BotName xdcc send #123

:desktop_computer: The client, current: ZoiteChat โ€” HexChat ended in February 2024, ZoiteChat picked its source straight up and kept shipping (v2.19.0, July 2026). Same window, transfers built in. Terminal instead โ†’ WeeChat and its xfer plugin.

:high_voltage: Skip IRC completely: xdcc-cli takes that same pasted line and pulls the file like wget โ€” no channel, no nickname, nothing to learn. xdccJS does the same from Node, with passive-DCC for networks that block the normal way.

Bitsearch 49M torrents ยท BTDigg straight from the network ยท Snowfl many sites at once ยท Rats Search become your own search engine ยท slskd Soulseek, rare lossless music from people online now ยท NZBKing 383M usenet posts kept 4,000+ days ยท FileSearch.ru + Abifog open folders anyone can browse

:pirate_flag: Scene corner: PreDB shows every release the minute it drops, and srrDB proves your download is the genuine original rather than a repack wearing its name.

โ˜ ๏ธ Raise the dead โ€” the kit for a link that 404s

The move: stop hunting for a new copy of the file. Resurrect the page that had it โ€” the mirror list is usually still sitting there.

:gem_stone: Rare gem: Arquivo.pt lets you full-text search billions of archived pages by keyword. Wayback needs the exact URL. This one needs a memory.

Paste the dead link into What comes back
Archivarix Echo every archive still holding it, one lookup
Wayback Finder 200 dead links โ†’ the closest working snapshot for each
ArchiveOnline a whole dead site rebuilt into a clean ZIP
Ghostarchive a permanent snapshot, stored three times over
DeadLinkRadar watches your links 24/7 and pings you the moment one drops

Take what you need, seed what you can, and let the good stuff find you from here. :pirate_flag:

1Hackers went hard on the first cut โ€” so I went back in and pushed further: 28 rare course vaults, the XDCC on-ramp for the fastest rail there is, and 163 doors, every one still live. :pirate_flag:
