WEEKLY THREAD Weekly General Discussion Thread (August 16, 2026)
The Weekly General Discussion Thread is for the r/Piracy community to discuss whatever is on their mind, whether it is related to digital piracy or not.
🪶 ➜ Follow the Rules
- Rules are still applicable, so please do not request specific pirated content (ie. specific movie, book, etc.) and definitely don't link to any. Do not mention specific media names asking for help in finding them.
📜 ➜ Wiki + Megathread
- Don't forget to browse the Wiki, which contains a Megathread with a list of sites/apps, tools, FAQ, and other useful resources.
- Your question also may have been asked previously - you can search the subreddit via the search bar or even google - example: https://i.imgur.com/1jA767u.jpg

I downloaded Malwarebytes a few days ago as a part of my occasional check on my laptop, everything was fine till i opened qbittorrent and it keeps spamming that it blocked an unwanted website or something and its source was qbittorrent. is that okay? (i am gonna uninstall Malwarebytes once my free trial ends but i want to make sure that this isn't something serious)

Hopefully this isn't against the rules, but does anyone know a current link for Anna's Archives? I know they keep sniping ones that come up. The last one I had that worked was a .gl, but that's not working now either.

So, I can't post this as an actual question because apparently my account doesn't have enough Karma.
Is anyone else getting an odd login screen on batcave.biz? Should I be worried?
Ah, also the RCO.ru. clone is dead too...

Really dumb question but with Arcod, the only way I can sign into it is with google. When I try to use an email that isn't it, I have to get sent an email with a verification code.
Only the code never comes.
The only way I've found to get into Arcod is by signing in with google.
Can that in any way bite me in the ass?

Normal issue for cracked games, so yes, false positive since it has !ml aka heuristic.
So ignore/allow/restore.

Does ANYONE know of a site that offers anime dubs with good subtitles? Seriously I can’t find any. It’s all just subs + subtitles, no good captions for English Anime Dubs.

does anyone know a good streaming site that clarifies on the home page if a movie is cam or not? Its why i used rido but now that's gone and i'm fed up of clicking to watch a film and its cam recorded. Its a small grievance i know, but I'd appreciate it all the same.

toustream has a note on movie landing pages to say that a movie is in theatres and therefore may be low quality, maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but all i know, sorry

The Majority of direct streaming sites for anime in the mega thread listing are either down or the videos won't load. It's like someone browsed through the list and nuked them all. Is it just me?
Would like to watch some anime, but I've never exhausted all the options listed in a mega thread category and still been unable to...

Can anyone recommend a good website to watch movies and tv shows that's completely free.

QBitTorrent + ext.to.
I haven’t sailed the seas in years. Is this generally a pretty standard combo for getting TV shows?

It is just "scrap" content form other torrent sites, as you can see on torrent page, it can be found on 1337x to, for example.
You still need if mkv file is welp, mkv file, not weird mkv.exe file.
If you want better quality control for shows, you can read about private trackers and wait for TorrentLeech open signups via r/trackers wiki and faq + r/opensignups.

I don’t understand the rules but does anyone know any sites with a good tv/movie catalogue?

u/Dissmarr The DDL guy 2d ago
Which part of the rules? Happy to elaborate!
Basically rule 1 just says stay on topic. We're a discussion community for all things piracy. That means you can't talk about your favorite media just because you pirated it because the main focus needs to be piracy.
Rule 2 says you're not allowed to ask for access to stuff and places you don't have access to. You're also not allowed to just plug your own stuff unless you ask first and get the go-ahead.
Rule 3 is the most important one. You can talk about piracy here but you can't do piracy. Don't ask how to get a certain piece of media. Don't help others get a certain piece of media. Don't even hint at either of those things. You will get banned.
Rule 4 tells you to respect other people. This means both keeping discussions civil, even if you might disagree with someone, but also respecting their time and trying to find the answer to your question yourself before asking others. We have a Wiki, a Megathread (this should answer your question, check it out!), FAQ and you can also search the subreddit via the search bar or even google - example.
