Some of these will die over time — if you hit a dead one, reply below and it gets replaced. And if you know a good one that isn’t here, drop it in a reply and I’ll add it.
FMHY — every category, search bar, updated daily. Safety checklist: dbzer0’s wiki.
🌐 EVERYTHING SITES — 24 all-category boards
LinkMap — 18,399 hand-picked sites sorted into 205 sections (1,170 movies/TV · 1,075 mobile apps · 4,670 PC software · 2,441 learning · 565 books), last updated 4 Aug 2026.
| Door | What’s inside |
|---|---|
| SoftArchive | the classic everything-board — movies, TV, music, games, software, android, books, comics, magazines, newspapers |
| DDLValley | movies, music, games, ROMs, software, android, books, comics, magazines |
| Mobilism | the mobile scene’s home — android apps, books, software, with its own app |
| rlsbb | release blog: everything the scene drops, newest first |
| Novanon | movies, music, software, games, magazines, comics, android, books and courses |
| DirtyWarez | old-school forum — movies, music, games, software, books, comics |
| FileCR | software and books, clean layout, direct links |
| DownloadHa |  movies, software, games, android — right-click → translate |
| Direct Download Anything | builds the Google index.of dork for you — pick a filetype, get open folders holding the actual file |
Also everything — filed in the drawers below
These carry every category too. They sit further down under their own rail, so come back here when you want breadth rather than one category:
xdcc.eu · xdcc.info · SkullXDCC — 704,118 packs, sorted Movies 89,997 · TV Shows 243,218 · Music 241,860 · Warez 39,648 · Anime · eBooks (also under 
search engines + 
courses)
RuTracker · NNM-Club · Kinozal · rutor — Russian-run, but the catalogue is largely English: software, courses, and remuxes carrying the original English audio (also under torrents)- Bitsearch · BTDigg · Snowfl · Da MagNet — these query the whole BitTorrent network, so every category answers at once (also under + )
Warforum · Toloka · Warezowo — general boards, every section (also under language boards)
Internet Archive — movies, music, software, books, ROMs, magazines and the unlisted paid-course rips (also under courses)- FMHY — the index of every category there is (pinned at the top of this post)
These run on ads and pop-unders. Do not open them without an adblocker — the safety checklist sits next to FMHY at the top of this post.
🎬 MOVIES & TV — 37 sites
Ordered best first. The top of this list has the biggest catalogue and the fastest downloads; the bottom needs the least setup.
Bot downloads — the biggest English film and TV catalogue there is
Over 800,000 files. No seeders, no queue, no ads, no account. Full line speed, and it resumes if your connection drops.
You never need to know a channel name. Just search one of these sites:
| Search here | What it covers |
|---|---|
| XDCC Search | searches 7 networks at once and prints the exact line to copy.  Search — don’t browse the front page, it is unfiltered |
| xdcc.eu | ~90,000 movies and ~243,000 TV episodes. Drops any bot offline more than 5 days, so results are alive |
| SkullXDCC | second opinion when the first two come up empty |
| xdcc.info | 711,000 files across 617 bots |
| xdcc.rocks | smaller, but it searches anime alongside films and TV — worth a try when the others miss |
Type the film name → the result hands you four things: network · channel · bot · pack number. That is everything you need.
❓ What even is this? Read this once and you'll get it
Forget everything you know about websites for a second.
This isn’t a website — it’s a room. IRC is chat rooms, and standing in those rooms are bots: little vending machines stuffed with files. That’s why there’s no download button anywhere. You’re not browsing a site — you’re walking into a room and asking a machine for item number 47.
You have to actually be in the room. Ask the machine for something while you’re standing outside and nothing happens — it can’t see you. That single thing trips up every beginner alive.
One line, one file. You type one short line, the machine hands the file straight to you. No website in the middle, no seeders, no ads, nothing throttling you. That’s the entire reason it’s the fastest thing on this page.
That’s it. That’s the whole concept. Everything else is just typing, and you don’t have to memorise any of it.
Step one — get the one app that lets you into the rooms:
ZoiteChat — free, Windows / Mac / Linux, file transfers already built in. (It’s the maintained continuation of HexChat, which stopped in 2024.) Install it and don’t touch any settings.
Step two — find your film on XDCC Search or xdcc.eu. It hands you a short result line.
Step three — let ChatGPT do the rest. Copy that whole result line, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask:
“I have ZoiteChat installed. Walk me through downloading this, step by step.”
That is genuinely the fastest way in. It knows this cold, it will give you the exact commands for your result rather than a generic guide, and when something odd happens you paste the error back and it tells you what to do. The first ten minutes are the only hard part — after that it stops feeling like homework and becomes the most fun way to download anything.
Prefer to watch a human do it first? gotbletu does it start to finish · The Load Guru goes slower · Prid13’s guide has screenshots for every step.
Want to skip the app entirely? xdcc-cli takes the same line and just downloads it, like any normal download — no chat, no rooms. XDCC Catcher (Windows, free) does the whole thing for you like a torrent client.
More XDCC bits: terminal instead of a GUI → WeeChat + its xfer plugin · script it from Node → xdccJS · auto-grab new episodes → Prid13’s auto-download guide · two more plain how-tos → xdcc.info’s own and xdcc-search’s.
Grabbing a whole season at once: EasyXdcc queues a run of files in one command · XDCC Search and Viewer builds your own private search database from the rooms you sit in.
Open directories — somebody’s folder, left facing the internet
Click a file, it downloads. No account, no client, resumable. Catalogue is luck-of-the-draw, but when it hits, it is the simplest thing on this page.
| Where | What’s in it |
|---|---|
| SerMovieDown | original English WEB-DL and YIFY releases — 74 films in the 2026 folder, written to five days ago |
| tattooin | one person’s 4K WEB-DL hoard, untouched English scene releases landing eight days ago |
| ODCrawler | a search box over other people’s open folders — one query returned 10,000+ file links |
| Open Directory Finder | type a film name, it builds the Google search that finds raw folders holding it |
| DDLSearch | same idea, and the only one with an English-results switch |
| magical.ddns.net | a home server’s Disney/Pixar shelf, 2000–2010 — ~700 MB mp4s, nothing HD |
Found a folder you like? The wget one-liner in 
QUICK TRICKS at the top copies the whole thing to your disk before it moves.
Boards posting English releases
Foreign-language sites, English files. Right-click → translate and the buttons make sense immediately.
| Where | What’s in it |
|---|---|
Tim Fshare  |
4K Remux, UHD Blu-ray ISO and WEB-DL as direct links — 30.5K threads, newest post seconds old |
DLNime  |
Western TV as whole-season batches — Sons of Anarchy S01–S07 in one go |
Movies4u · 1TamilMV  |
Indian and English releases. Both pin their current address in a Telegram channel, so when the domain moves the address finds you |
BDIX server list  |
only works if your ISP is in Bangladesh — but then films come at LAN speed and never touch your data cap. StreamBDIX turns six of those into a Stremio catalogue |
Telegram — works on the phone, nothing to install
- @NoCopyRightMovies — an English film channel that publishes its own split-and-rejoin instructions instead of a shortener link, and posts a notice when a title goes.
- Surf-TG — puts a normal-looking website with search in front of a Telegram film channel.
- Telegram-Stremio — forward a film into a channel and it shows up in Stremio with a poster.
- MediaFusion — a Stremio addon where Telegram sits alongside debrid and Usenet. Free public instance is rate-limited.
- Jackgram — gives a channel a proper streaming API. 8 stars, so you are the maintainer now.
- @SearchMoviesBot asks you to hand it a bot token — which, with group privacy off, gives the operator every message in that group. Know that before you use it.
Free and completely above board — zero setup, zero risk
Smaller and older than the rails above, but you click play and it plays.
- NFB.ca —
7,000+ films free, twelve Oscars in the collection, no account and no ads, from Canada’s national film board. About half the catalogue is English. - Kanopy — thousands of arthouse, classic and documentary films, ad-free, on a library card you probably already qualify for.
- FIAF Collections Online — the film archivists’ own index of which national archives stream free, with a written rule banning anything paywalled. 21 English-language institutions, including the BFI and the Library of Congress.
- Free Official YouTube Content — rights-holders’ own channels posting full films, honestly labelled where an entry is only clips.
Need subtitles? OpenSubtitles is the one everybody uses — search by film or by the release filename for a perfect match, and most players (VLC, Jellyfin, Kodi) can pull from it automatically once you add a free account.
Two extras: acestream-scraper checks which AceStream IDs are alive and serves the survivors as one playlist · AIOStreams queries all your Stremio addons at once so you enter your debrid keys just once.
🪄 Tricks for this drawer
Search torrents that all still have a live seeder. Paste straight in your address bar:
torrents-csv.com/service/search?q=YOUR+SEARCH — that database deletes anything with zero seeders.
Read any Telegram channel with no account, no app. Drop /s/ into the link:
t.me/s/repack → the whole feed opens in your browser.
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/
📺 LIVE TV — 8 playlist and guide sources
❓ How to actually watch it — three steps
- Install a player that speaks playlists. VLC is the simplest (it is free and you may already have it). For a proper TV grid with a guide, use Jellyfin or Kodi.
- Copy a playlist link (an address ending in
.m3uor.m3u8) from the table below. - In VLC: Media → Open Network Stream → paste → Play. In Jellyfin or Kodi, paste it into the Live TV settings, and paste an epgshare01 guide link next to it so you get a programme listing.
Stuck? Paste the error and the name of your player into ChatGPT and ask what to do — this is a five-minute problem, not a hard one.
epgshare01 — the free programme-guide rail.
| Where | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| app-m3u-generator | the easiest start — a bot rebuilds ready-made playlists daily at 03:00 UTC for the big free-TV services. Copy the link, paste in your player, done |
| Free-TV/IPTV | a deliberately small hand-checked worldwide playlist that bans padding, adult and religious channels — with named English lists for the US, UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia |
| FastChannels | one Docker container folding ~24 free ad-supported TV services into a single playlist plus guide, with an audit pass that disables dead and DRM channels for you |
| Dispatcharr | makes any playlist look like a real tuner to Plex, Emby or Jellyfin, so your server can schedule and record — with automatic failover when a stream dies |
| iPlayarr |  turns BBC iPlayer into a searchable indexer inside Sonarr, so British series arrive from the broadcaster’s own CDN |
🍥 ANIME & MANGA — 21 sites and tools
ameNZB — a community-run Usenet indexer for anime, handing you NZBs for the current airing season.
Straight off a bot or a folder — no seeders, no queue
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| NIBL | the anime-only XDCC index. Browse by bot instead of by search string, and hit Copy Batch to get one /msg <bot> xdcc batch 1-12 line that pulls a whole season — one command, not one per episode. New to XDCC? The  drawer at the top of this post explains it in three lines |
| Kayoanime | whole franchises as Google Drive folders — join the Group, then the Drive opens |
| Anime Tosho | one release, three ways to grab it: torrent, direct download or NZB, with subtitles auto-extracted |
The boards where raws land first
| Where | The loot |
|---|---|
| nekoBT | the anime index that isn’t Nyaa — every release tagged with a quality tier (official WEB-DL / lightly modified / full fansub) as a filterable field, so you pick a tier instead of guessing from a filename |
| AniRena | 22,003 torrents on its own announce URLs, with a documented JSON API |
| Tokyo Toshokan | the oldest surviving Japanese-media library — where classics and raw TS captures live on after modern indexes drop them |
Make it arrive on its own
- Mikan Project — subscribe to a show and a specific fansub group, and it hands you one RSS URL your torrent client turns into a hands-off pipeline.
- AutoBangumi — point it at that one Mikan feed and it never needs you again: downloads, matches metadata, renames and files everything so Plex or Jellyfin scrapes it clean.
SeaDex is not a download site — it is the answer key. For each anime it names the single best release and one alternative, by group, so you stop downloading the wrong 12 GB.
Manga, manhwa and light novels
| Where |  |
What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| @EnglishManga | |
a numbered library past entry #387; each post is a stats card and the .cbz sits in the comments |
| @Manga_Maniaac | |
A–Z vault that labels every drop by container — Format : CBZ or Format : PDF — so you know before you tap |
| Kickthekitty | |
a raw scanner’s bench, frozen since 2016 but still standing: Blade of the Immortal v1–v31 at 2400px, Berserk v1–v36, in MEGA linkfolders |
The tools that keep it working when a source dies
- amrkmn/x — syncs five upstream extension stores into one searchable index, so the reader apps keep finding sources after individual ones fall over.
- Suwayomi-Server — runs the same phone-app extensions on a PC or NAS with no phone involved: browse, auto-download and archive over a web UI.
- FMD2 — its site support lives in separate Lua modules, so a broken site is fixed by an in-app module update. That is why a March-2025 binary still works.
- Webtoon-Downloader — pulls free chapters straight from the publisher into CBZ/PDF instead of via a mirror.
- LNReader plugins · lightnovel-crawler — light novels: when a novel site dies the app pulls a new plugin instead of dying with it, and the crawler turns any of hundreds of reader sites into one EPUB.
The two everybody actually uses
MangaDex is the biggest English scanlation library there is — reader and downloader in one, no ads, and it is the source most reader apps point at by default · SubsPlease is the English fansub group that subs nearly every currently-airing show, publishing torrents, direct links and its own bots from one page.
📚 BOOKS & PAPERS — 16 libraries
Before you go anywhere: open-slum.org pings every big shadow library every 5 minutes and shows UP / DOWN — plus which look-alike domains are fakes. Check here first, then knock.
| Door | What’s inside |
|---|---|
| freeread.org/torrents | the fixtures the library is made of: 2.4M books in 2,400 torrents of 1,000 each, 80M articles in 800+ torrents — every book named for its hash |
| tomesole | one Rust binary, TUI or scriptable, built around the two problems that actually bite: finding a mirror that is up right now, and collapsing forty near-identical editions to one |
| libgen-mcp | a single static binary that federates one query across the big library plus arXiv, Crossref, OpenLibrary, Gutenberg, PubMed — and auto-discovers mirrors so you stop hunting for a new domain |
| Nexus / STC | index and corpus both live on IPFS; the search runs as a WASM module inside your own browser, so nothing is sent to a server |
| Liber3 | an ebook search with no server and no DNS name — the front end is served through ENS over IPFS, each hit is a content hash |
| Memory of the World | not one library — a network of individual people’s catalogues federated into one index. Pick a librarian, browse their personal shelf |
| Monoskop Log | hand-curated arts, media theory and avant-garde texts as plain PDFs with real bibliographies — material the big libraries largely do not have |
| Sci-Net | Sci-Hub stopped ingesting after 2022; this is the answer — post a DOI with a bounty, someone with access uploads it, usually in minutes, and it stays free for everyone afterwards |
| OpenBooks | drives the oldest and least-indexed book rail there is — the IRC search bots — from a normal browser tab |
| #bookz on Undernet | the big-file sibling channel, whose own rules allow ebooks, comics and audiobooks. Trigger @search, paste the result line |
The shelves in other languages
| Where | |
What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| Divan-Press |  |
current magazine and newspaper issues as PDF within days of the newsstand — Western titles included |
| @inPDF | |
English magazines straight into Telegram, hashtagged by title so the whole back catalogue is searchable in-app |
#ebooks and #bookz on IRC Highway — two channels where a search bot tells you which other users’ bots hold your book, and the file comes straight over DCC.
The two names everyone means: Library Genesis+ — that page lists its own alternative domains, which is the point: when one dies you read the next off the same page · Standard Ebooks takes public-domain texts and re-typesets and proofreads them properly, so you get a real book instead of a scanned mess. Free, open, no account.
🦸 COMICS — 12 sources
BitBook — the English comics scene tag.
The two rails nobody points at comics
Usenet, read free. alt.binaries.comics.dcp is 400 pages deep and the older picture group another 76 — Golden Age .cbzand.cbrscans posted within the last few days. “Create NZB” hands you the file with no account.
An XDCC bot that only does books and comics. [MG]-EBOOKon #moviegods — its packlist is a straight run of Marvel / DC / Image / IDW collections. Message it a pack number, it hands you a.tar.
Whole-run archives, by scene
| Where | |
The loot |
|---|---|---|
| Verso Media | |
one man, 15,143 issues + 337 annuals across 800+ categories — including 737 of the 851 Roy of the Rovers issues, with the 114 still missing listed openly as a want-list |
Run it like a library
Mylar3 is the comics Sonarr — watchlists, weekly pull list, renaming and tagging · Kapowarr is the newer one, but it pulls from DDL mirrors and torrents only, not Usenet · NZBHydra2 wraps the free raw indexers above behind one endpoint so Mylar can search them like a paid one · Pullbox tracks every issue as owned / wanted / skipped and converts everything to CBZ.
Free and above board — and genuinely huge
Comic Book Plus holds just under 50,000 public-domain comics, strips, pulps and old-time radio, browsable by genre or cover date back to 1937, with no download cap · Digital Comic Museum is its sixteen-year-old sister archive with its own scanners and a per-publisher file tree — that link is its full-catalogue export.
GetComics — the English comics site: DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, IDW and more, and its weekly packs hand you everything that shipped that week in one download.
🎧 AUDIOBOOKS — 11 sources
Legamus! — volunteer recordings of books that are public domain in life+70 countries but still under US copyright, so LibriVox is legally barred from touching them.
The one setting that unlocks it
Audiobooks do not live under Books (7000) on Newznab/Torznab — they sit in the Audio tree at 3030 (3130 for German). That single number is why book searches through Prowlarr come back empty or full of comics. Details and category map. Then read the groups free through Binsearch — alt.binaries.audiobooks, alt.binaries.mp3.abooks and friends carry full-series m4b packs with repair files, no account needed to look.
Elsewhere
- Listening Books — a UK charity lending 11,000+ audiobooks to anyone whose illness, disability or learning difficulty makes print hard. £25 a year, free if you cannot afford the fee.
ReciproCard — a maintained table of the five still-open paid non-resident library cards with their real catalogue sizes (Monroe County NY $25/yr for 65,523 titles; Queens $50 for 193,128), three of which take applicants from abroad.
Fetch and rebuild
- TokyBay — one binary, no install, searches a maintained list of free audiobook sites and rebuilds each book as a proper M4B with cover, narrator and chapter titles.
- audiobook-dl — pulls from the publisher’s own CDN for 12 subscription services using your own exported session.
- shelfmark — self-hosted search-and-request hub that speaks the IRC book rail for you. book does the same in one command:
book <title> -u -e m4b. - Listenarr — the audiobook-only *arr, currently wiring in Soulseek as an indexer, which is the real tell: the m4b files sit in user shares, not on trackers. Pair with the
mfif:trick at the top of this post.
AudioBook Bay — the big English audiobook board, and the obvious first stop: every post states language, format, bitrate and size up front, with new titles landing daily.
🪄 Tricks for this drawer
Turn Soulseek into a whole-album and whole-audiobook finder. Add two words to the search:
Sanderson mfif:8 mfs:10 -sample — mfif:8 shows only folders holding 8 or more matching files, mfs:10 drops anything under 10 MB. Complete books instead of stray tracks. The full filter grammar
🎓 PAID COURSES — 22 vaults
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.
Straight off a bot — no seeders, no queue (new to this? the drawer up top explains it in 3 lines)
The fastest rail on the internet and almost nobody uses it for courses. One direct socket from the bot to you.
| Where | What’s parked there |
|---|---|
| xdcc.eu | search udemy → caps out at 1,000+ course packs sitting on bots right now |
| SkullXDCC | pluralsight → 1,555 packs, udemy → 417, LinkedIn Learning rips indexed into 2026 |
| xdcc.info | 711,000 files across 617 bots — 2,500+ are ripped courses (1,241 Pluralsight, 402 Udemy, Packt, O’Reilly) |
Paste the pack line into xdcc-cli and it downloads like wget — no IRC client, no channel, no chat.
Off Google’s own edge — nothing is faster on a home line
| Where | What’s parked there |
|---|---|
| de-digger | searches every Google Drive file the world left public. Type the instructor’s name, filter to Video or RAR, download from Google’s edge — no queue, resumable |
| Internet Archive, the unlisted rips | strangers dump whole paid courses into the world’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 Archive’s own datanodes — no account, no cap, torrent-mirrored on the same page. Swap udemy in that URL for any brand |
Telegram — resumable, no captcha, works on the phone
Telegram’s own search is useless. These four fix that, then the file comes down Telegram’s CDN.
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| Telegago | Google, locked shut to t.me — find the dump channels that never advertise |
| Lyzem | crawls inside Telegram itself — one course query returns 130,000+ hits in 124 ms |
| TGStat course catalog | the phone book: every course channel ranked, with minutes since its last post so you skip the dead ones |
| @en_SearchBot · Semagram · Telagon | describe the vault in plain words, get the channel |
Course boards in other languages — different sites to the drawer above
| Where | |
What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| FreeSkladchina | |
100,000 threads of leaked paid courses — Udemy alone has 1.5k. Serves off MEGA + Yandex.Disk |
| NNM-Club (also listed above) | |
its course tree runs nine sections deep — IT alone is 94 pages. Free open registration |
| SJeeXplore | |
rips the $995–$2,000 cohort courses (Maven AI Engineering Bootcamp, Matt Pocock, Academind) straight to MEGA. Zero third-party mentions anywhere — genuinely unfound |
| WebPulse |  |
the old Xclusiveloaded crew — Udemy and O’Reilly rips, plus one master Google Drive folder |
| Warez.Ge Tutorials |  |
a daily Udemy / Skillshare / ZeroToMastery feed, 3–4 mirrors per thread |
The locked shelves — worth the paperwork
| Where | What’s inside |
|---|---|
| TheVault | 108,000 torrents of the $997-a-seat kind — 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 — pair it with a debrid or it crawls |
| Opentrackers · E-Learning | the door radar — tells you the moment a private course tracker opens signups |
When a course vault dies — course-specific replacements
- Course CSE — 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 · Education — an independent piracy wiki (not an FMHY fork) keeping a maintained shortlist of course mirrors.
Archive.org is ISP-blocked in a few countries and the unlisted rips get DMCA’d eventually — grab it the day you find it, don’t build a wishlist.
💾 WINDOWS SOFTWARE — 33 sites
The named repackers — one person, one site, for fifteen years
These are the legends. Each is a single individual who rebuilds installers by hand and publishes under their own name — which is exactly why their builds are the ones people trust.
| Where | |
Who, and what’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| RePack.ME | |
KpoJIuK — the most legendary repacker there is. Newest build is always the top post |
| LRepacks | |
elchupacabra — installer and portable build of the same title in one archive, refreshed in nightly batches |
| DIAKOV.NET | |
several pre-registered multilingual builds a day, with permanent front-page shelves for the big suites |
| RSLoad.NET | |
best known for its own hand-stripped Windows ISOs — mini/compact 25H2, 26H2 and a gaming edition with telemetry cut |
| monkrus.ws | |
one releaser, one vendor: Adobe builds — including Master Collection bundles Adobe never actually shipped — as torrents off his own blog |
| @portablik | |
120k subscribers, full Pro/Premium and portable builds delivered inside Telegram rather than through a file host |
| 423Down |  |
one operator’s pre-patched, portable and install-and-done builds, several tagged as his own original work |
| YPOJIE | |
Windows and macOS builds, where the operator annotates why a given release was or wasn’t published |
| GHXI | |
large green-software board: portable and enhanced builds of mainstream apps, plus a steady minority of patched releases |
| Hexsen | |
the cracked self-hosted-server niche nobody indexes — one maintainer patching Emby Server for Windows, Linux and Synology |
| isharePC | |
the enterprise licence-server lane: step-by-step walkthroughs for ANSYS-class suites. The newer pages host no download at all — only the method |
The clean lane — the genuine file, from the vendor
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| store.rg-adguard.net | paste a Microsoft Store link and get the direct .msix/.appx from Microsoft’s delivery CDN — install Store apps on a machine with no Store |
| Raven | a replacement Store client that searches the real catalogue, pulls from Microsoft’s CDN and exports any app as an offline package — works on LTSC and debloated images |
| UUP dump | makes your machine download raw packages from Microsoft’s update servers and build them into an ISO locally — the only public route to Insider, ARM64 and feature-update builds never shipped as an ISO |
| MSDL | returns the real, time-limited download.microsoft.com link for any edition and language, including builds the public page no longer offers |
| Office Tool Plus | a GUI over Microsoft’s own deployment tool: pick any channel, version and language, download from Microsoft, or bake it into an offline ISO |
| Legacy Update | resurrects Windows Update on Windows 2000 through 8.1 by proxying to Microsoft’s live servers, so an old box installs real signed patches again |
| Autodesk’s own forum | a yearly thread on Autodesk’s own support site where one volunteer hand-posts the raw installer URLs off Autodesk’s servers as each product ships |
| Chunjing | a deliberately small index of only current, unmodified Windows images — each with the exact Microsoft filename, size, SHA1 and SHA256, plus magnet and ED2K |
| HeiDoc hash archive | a searchable dump of Microsoft’s own download catalogue — filename, SHA1/SHA256, size, date — so you can prove an ISO you got elsewhere is genuine |
| file.wiki | 177 programs with the publisher’s own URL, the SHA-256 and the exact command to check it — and it openly flags the three entries whose host doesn’t match the vendor’s domain |
| PCbeta | where members post official ESD/ISO links, filenames, sizes and hashes as they appear — the Windows 11 board alone runs ~50,000 threads |
Portable — runs off the stick, leaves nothing behind
winPenPack 
rebuilds apps around its own launcher so settings stay on the USB · LiberKey 
syncs a 294-app catalogue and updates them for you · Portapps wraps ordinary apps in a Go launcher, shipped as GPG-signed releases · Scoop Extras-Plus and Extras-CN are Scoop buckets for software the official ones will not carry, each manifest re-verified against the vendor’s own URL and hash by a bot.
On Linux the same idea is Chaotic-AUR (Arch, prebuilt) and Pacstall (Ubuntu, newest builds instead of apt’s ancient ones) — and Repology is the colour table showing which of 400+ repos ships newest.
Old software, kept properly
WinWorld is an open museum of abandoned and pre-release operating systems and applications — free, no account, with install caveats written by people who actually booted them · Nsane Forums runs a versioned release thread for every new Windows app build, 90,121 topics in that board alone and climbing daily.
🍏 MAC SOFTWARE — 16 sites

| MacKed | |
genuinely daily — 15 separate entries on the front page were stamped 3 hours ago when I looked, current pro tools included, with a Telegram mirror |
| @qiuchenlymac | |
a one-man third-party Mac app store that downloads the vendor’s own installer and injects the patch locally. The author has said publicly that patch updates are stalled, so expect some failures right now |
| Konami Mac Forum | |
the real prize is native Mac games — roughly 10,000 threads, current through this year’s releases, posted as cloud-drive links |
| xclient.info | |
same-day posts with a genuine developer-tools lane and a per-app version history that keeps old builds long after the vendor deletes them |

the Apple-only private tracker — Mac apps, games, tutorials and nothing else. In through recruitment threads, not open signup |
| Macintosh Repository | |
the vintage vault: System 6 through early OS X, decades of software, emulator guidance and in-browser Mac OS 9 |
| Mac Hut | |
a tiny legacy archive that still runs an anonymous FTP server — browse it with an FTP client, not a browser |

🍎 iPHONE & iPAD — apps, IPAs & tweaks
| # | Where | What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Havoc | the biggest tweak marketplace |
| 2 | WuXu’s Library | the community-default AltStore / SideStore source |
| 3 | Alan’s Gigantic Repo | 80 live sources merged into 24,957 apps, as JSON you paste into your installer |
| 4 | The BigBoss Backup | static mirror of the oldest repo of all, scraper and diff published alongside |
| 5 | Cydiakk |
5,424 live packages, 17.8M downloads, iOS support range on every entry |

🧑💻 DEV & DESIGN SOFTWARE — 27 sources
sysin.org — one sysadmin’s depot for the enterprise software vendors hide behind a support-portal login: vSphere/NSX/Horizon roll-ups, enterprise Linux ISOs, macOS boot images, no-TPM Windows 11 builds — plus his own rebuilt hypervisor ISOs, which the site openly stamps as community-supported rather than pretending they are the vendor’s.
Free, properly — no crack involved
| Route | What you actually get |
|---|---|
| JetBrains EAP | pre-release builds of ~21 products with the full paid feature set, straight off JetBrains’ CDN, no subscription. Each build runs 30 days from its release date — and a new one always lands |
| JetBrains for open source | a real All Products Pack, free and annually renewable, for a core contributor to a non-commercial OSI-licensed project. The qualifying act is a form; the bar is visible commits |
| VMware Workstation / Fusion Pro | the full Pro product for $0 with no licence key at all — register a free account and pick Personal Use when the installer asks |
| IDE Eval Reset | not a crack and not a keygen: add a plugin repository, install one plugin, and the IDE’s own evaluation clock restarts. The IDE’s plugin manager does the fetching, so there is no download page to take down |
| Open VSX | the vendor-neutral extension registry VSCodium, Theia and Cursor pull from — ~15,900 extensions as plain .vsix |
| VSIX Downloader | Microsoft hid the Marketplace’s download button; this rebuilds the official URL so the file streams off Microsoft’s own servers — and ships a one-line uBlock rule that puts the real button back |
Exact-version fetchers — the vendor’s file, the build you actually need
fixtux hand-keeps the official VMware installers and depots indexed by exact build number, the links Broadcom stopped publishing openly · unity-changeset resolves any Unity version to the changeset hash that is the missing half of its real download URL · aqtinstall pulls any Qt version, module or tool from Qt’s own servers with no GUI installer · Foojay Disco API is a REST catalogue of every OpenJDK build from every distributor, resolving an exact version to the vendor’s own URL · snapshot.debian.org is an apt-addressable time machine — pin sources.list to a date in 2011 and rebuild the toolchain that project needed · VETUSWARE is the abandonware library for dead toolchains, sorted by what a thing is rather than by brand.
The grey lane, labelled as such
| Where | |
What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| 1progs · DB tools | |
one page per expensive database/dev tool, key included, archive password printed on the page |
| p30download | |
a long-running Persian archive whose IDE lane carries current builds with an on-page activation tutorial |
| CG Persia | |
the CG/VFX release board — professional plugin and renderer releases live in the archive, not the front page |
Design and 3D assets — the boards, not the stock sites
| Where | |
What’s inside |
|---|---|---|
| SNREN | |
interior/architectural visualisation only: full 3ds Max scenes with textures and lighting, and the big renderer material libraries that cost the most and circulate the least |
| RRCG | |
indexed by asset type rather than by software — 3D models, game assets, textures, video assets, sound, plugins |
| RUDTP | |
prepress and typesetting: InDesign and Illustrator scripts, PDF plugins and fonts moving as forum attachments |
| AssetRipper | |
opens a shipped Unity game’s bundles and exports the assets back out into native Unity format |
| Fontsource | |
open-source font families as versioned npm packages with woff2 and subsets — self-host a pinned version instead of hotlinking |
WordPress — the lane that is actually lawful
The GPL requires that premium WordPress plugins and themes be redistributable, which is why GPL clubs are legal in a way nothing else on this page is. GPLDL distributes unmodified original files (explicitly no nulled builds) behind a free membership — you lose vendor support and auto-updates, not legality. Alongside it: WPackagist mirrors the whole free directory into Composer · wpm is a Go CLI and registry with a local cache so installs work offline · SatisPress turns the premium plugins already on your own site into a private Composer repository · Slurpetta downloads every plugin over 10,000 installs so you can grep the entire ecosystem locally.
Software Heritage Vault — the last-resort door for source code that was deleted, DMCA’d or abandoned. It holds the full history for repositories the forge no longer serves, and cooks it back into a tarball for you.
🪄 Tricks for this drawer
Newest version of anything on GitHub, forever. Paste this into any RSS reader:
github.com/OWNER/REPO/releases.atom — swap the names, done. No account, no cost.
Download any GitHub build without logging in. Swap the domain:
github.com/owner/repo/… → nightly.link/owner/repo/… — nightly.link turns a build artifact into a plain download URL. The .zip that normally 404s for logged-out visitors just downloads.
🧲 TORRENT SITES — 7 trackers
Torrents.csv throws out any torrent that hits zero seeders.
| Door | The loot |
|---|---|
| Anna’s Archive Torrents | 30M books + 100M papers, seed-health bar on every pack |
| Nyaa | anime and Asian media — click the Seeders column, take the green rows |
| RuTracker |
the biggest course + software index on earth |
| NNM-Club |
magnets with no account, SHA-256 posted so you know it’s the real build |
| rutor |
no signup at all, front page is literally “last 24 hours” |
| Kinozal |
458k releases, ~900k seeders, ships its own block-bypass extension |
| Da MagNet | searches the raw BitTorrent network itself |
| IPFS Clusters | one line and you’re mirroring Wikipedia or Gutenberg yourself |
Why Russian trackers are in an English-only list. A Remux keeps every track off the original disc, so their releases ship the English original DTS-HD MA audio and English subtitles — the Russian dub is an extra track sitting beside it, not a replacement. Check the Аудио line for английский, then pick English audio in your player. (Thanks @Edgar for the correction.)
Install qBittorrent, paste a magnet, glance at the seeder number. That’s the entire skill.
🎟️ PRIVATE TRACKERS — 8 ways in
r/OpenSignups with the OPEN · English · General filter — the only signup feed with a real language filter, so the Italian, Chinese and Nordic trackers that clog every other board simply do not appear.
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| OpenSignups Telegram mirror | the same firehose in a browser with no Reddit and no Telegram account, carrying the full post so you see torrent counts and rules before you spend the window |
| c/trackers on Lemmy | the Reddit-independent grapevine, and the only one that posts closures as well as openings |
| TorrentInvites · Open Signups | a different crowd, so it rarely posts the same tracker the same day. Read the titles — it mixes non-English trackers in |
| InviteHawk · Open Signups | the busiest board, with an email alert you can subscribe to. Attached to an invite shop — use the board, ignore the shop |
| Private Trackers Spreadsheet | a sortable tracker database rebuilt weekly by a bot, where every edit is a public commit nobody can buy |
| MyAnonaMouse invite application | the big English ebook and audiobook tracker you can join without knowing anyone — two 25-hour interview windows a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 08:00 UTC |
Read this before you join anything: the InstallGentoo private-tracker wiki is the one explainer with nothing to sell. It tells you trackers log everything you do forever, that staff have been caught reusing members’ passwords elsewhere, and how not to get yourself permanently banned in week one.
Never buy an invite. Bought invites are traced back and both accounts get banned — it is the single most common way people lose a tracker they waited months for.
📰 USENET — 13 indexers and tools
❓ How Usenet works — you need three separate things, and that trips everyone up
Unlike torrents, Usenet is not one app. It is three parts, and people give up because nobody tells them that:
- A provider — the company that actually stores the files. This is the part that costs money (a few dollars a month, and block accounts let you pay once for a chunk of data instead of monthly). Check the provider map first: many famous brands are the same server wearing different names, so a second account there buys you nothing.
- An indexer — the search engine that tells you what exists and hands you a small
.nzbfile (think of it as a torrent file). Several are free — see the table below. - A downloader — the app that takes the
.nzb, fetches the pieces from your provider and reassembles them. SABnzbd is the usual choice, free and open source.
So the flow is: search on the indexer → download the small .nzb → open it in SABnzbd → it downloads the real file from your provider.
Stuck? Paste the exact error into ChatGPT along with which of the three parts you were setting up. Nearly every Usenet problem is one of: wrong provider port, indexer API key in the wrong box, or an old release nobody stores any more.
Indexers with a real free tier
| Where | The free tier |
|---|---|
| altHUB | 100 searches + 25 downloads a day, free forever — big enough to actually automate with. That link goes straight to the sign-up form indexers open and close registration all the time; if it is shut when you get there, the table below tells you which ones are open right now |
| NZBIndex | free registration, unlimited downloads |
| Binsearch | no account at all — check whether a release exists before you pay anyone |
| NZBforYou | open-signup forum that hosts the files itself; free account gets 2 a day |
| ameNZB | the only indexer publishing its own dead-file rate — 83.6% healthy of 429,865 checked. Anime-first, films and TV alongside |
| NZBCave | 2,062 members hand-picking HD film and TV. Nothing is visible until you subscribe |
Which one to pick
NZB Sources is a filterable table printing every indexer’s real limits — searches/day, downloads/day, price — with a free-only toggle and an English filter · this list is the same idea as a plain table, including the ones honestly marked dead.
Making it easier
NZBDonkey turns the header-and-password format forums post into a finished file and hands it straight to your downloader · Usenet Ultimate makes Usenet behave like streaming inside Stremio, checking each release is complete before you press play · NZBHydra2 wraps all the free indexers above behind one address so the *arr apps can use them like a paid one.
🔎 SEARCH ENGINES — 17 live search tools
xdcc.eu automatically drops any bot offline more than 5 days — so every pack it shows you was alive this week.
New to XDCC? The whole on-ramp — how it works, which client, and the four things that go wrong — is in the drawer at the top of this post. This row is just the search box.
Bitsearch 49M torrents · BTDigg straight from the network · Snowfl many sites at once · Rats Search become your own search engine · slskd Soulseek, rare lossless music from people online now · NZBKing 383M usenet posts kept 4,000+ days · FileSearch.ru + Abifog open folders anyone can browse
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.
Open directories — somebody’s folder, left facing the internet
| Where | What it searches |
|---|---|
| EyeDex | its own header reports 3.6 PB across 2,946,617 files in 489,428 directories on 100 servers — a small hand-fed index, not a web-scale crawler, which is why the hits are good |
| Mamont FTP search |
a 2006-era Russian filename index over public FTP, still serving — expect dead hosts, but nothing else reaches this material |
| NAPALM FTP Indexer | 321,779,561 files (4,621 TB) across 1,169 FTP servers, member-fed, index stamped mid-2026 |
| OpenDirectoryDownloader | parses 130+ listing formats — FTP, Google Drive, AList, GoIndex, HFS, GoFile, pCloud — and emits a flat URL file you hand to wget -i. It indexes only; the wget trick at the top of this post does the fetching |
| Google Drive Index | the still-moving descendant of the worker-index family: turns a Drive into a browsable, searchable, streamable site from one paste |
Usenet without paying to look
NZB Sources is a filterable table of indexers showing each one’s real free tier as API hits and NZB grabs per day, with a content filter that surfaces free and non-English indexers no affiliate page lists.

|
overDAY | a dated daily drop: every Italian national newspaper as PDF, current magazines as true PDF, and Bonelli/Panini comics as paired PDF+CBR — unbroken since 2019 |
Don’t speak the language? It can still work for you. The Arabic board ZYZOOM above runs a link-conversion desk — post the title you want and staff re-host it to a fresh mirror. Right-click → translate does the rest.
🛰️ OLD P2P NETWORKS — 11 networks
Spider, Clean-Spider and Gentle Weaver — one person crawls every site inside Hyphanet and republishes the index itself inside the network, in three flavours including an SFW one.
| Network | The door | What’s live right now |
|---|---|---|
 eD2k / eMule |
eMule-Security serverlist | 9 live servers with per-server counters — the top one indexes 19,340,250 files with 49,961 of 50,000 slots filled. The feed URL pastes straight into eMule’s options and keeps refreshing itself |
| eD2k, in depth |
eMule-CN handbook |
the maintained manual: how to force HighID and what LowID actually costs you, running the daemon headless, driving it from a browser |
| Direct Connect |
DC Hublist | 258 hubs online, 33,547 users, 49.99 PB shared — the biggest single hub carrying 2.72 PB, across 17 country tabs |
 Gnutella / G2 |
gtk-gnutella | still shipping: 1.3.1 landed March 2026, three days after 1.3.0 removed the build expiry so old installs stop self-disabling. Keyword search straight across peers, no tracker anywhere in the loop |
 I2P |
I2P+ | a hardened fork of the router with a reworked built-in torrent client; the torrents it reaches live on in-network trackers that never touch the clearnet |
| Perfect Dark / Share |
Japanese P2P node registry | the missing on-ramp. Japan’s anonymous networks have no bootstrap server — you need a node blob from a human. This board is where people paste them, most recently mid-2026 |
| the board itself |
5ch Download Board | the live thread index where those hashes get posted — a hash-sharing thread on its 926th iteration, Perfect Dark on part 59 |
| Spotnet |
Spotweb | an index that rebuilds itself out of signed release posts travelling inside Usenet’s own newsgroups — so there is no website to seize or block. Runs on a NAS, feeds the *arr tools |
| Spotnet, ready-made |
Spottarr | exposes those same posts to Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr as an ordinary indexer — an indexer with no indexer website behind it |
 Soulseek |
Sockseek | point it at a search, a playlist, a Bandcamp page or a CSV; it ranks every candidate against your format and bitrate rules and pulls the best match. 1,044★ |
These are old protocols with old defaults. Read the HighID/port notes before you blame the network — and on the Japanese rails, check any binary yourself, as those communities tell each other to.
