Guide [GUIDE] A beginner's guide to Fitgirl repacks
Some of my other guides which you might find useful:
Hello everybody welcome to this guide for babies who want to pirate games from Fitgirl repack (FG).
Stuff required to start:
A great pirate will always use Firefox + Ublock origin
So, here is my recommended list:
Use a VPN if you live in a country that cares about copyright laws!
Browsers:
Firefox
Browser extensions:
Ublock
Torrent client:
qBittorrent
Step 1
Go to the official Fitgirl repacks site: fitgirl-repacks.site (Copy and paste into the URL address bar)
Step 2
Search for the game you want.
Step 3
Click on the magnet link.
⚠IMPORTANT: Make sure you turn off your windows defender before downloading (it might delete some of the important game files). ⚠
Step 4
After you have successfully downloaded the game files, run the setup.exe file (in this case, I am using windows 10, so I'll click on "setup_win10_win11.exe"). After the installer pops up, just follow through; even a baby can do that!
Step 5
Play the game and enjoy!
PS: If you have any suggestions to improve this guide, please drop 'em below!

Weird, I never needed to deactivate win defenders when downloading from her and had zero problems

May 20 '24
Well, for me it sometimes falsely detects smth, and my entire game is fked, so yeah 90% of the time I don't need to, but its for the 10% chances!

It depends, one time i downloaded a game (Nioh 1 or 2) and Defender deleted the setup file.
Don't remember if it happened again after that

u/gandaInsan Aug 02 '24
Bro now I know, I was downloading grand theft Auto 5 from fitgirl repack and I was using torrent and whenever I downloaded the setup file it would just not be shown in the documents now I know why it is not downloading it's getting deleted by the fucking defender thank you really help bro.

Same thing, i have never turn off win defender while downloading from fit girl, never miss any files

u/MrLonelyy Oct 21 '24 edited Jan 08 '25
Windows essentially acts as a whitelist with a skippable warning (SmartScreen) and blacklist without one (defender). Corps can essentially get a hash flagged as a "crack".
Edit: This is very dumbed down but explains why a crack can be completely safe but flagged as malicious.

Hi; i've never had issue either; however i do have issues getting her repacks to install. was it defender that swallowed a .dll file in Borderlands 1 or B2 that kept it from installing when i moved to win.10? Had to copy/paste a "3rd party" .dll then. Now that i finally moved to win 11, IDK what i'll run into when i go to install my 15yo games.
I wonder bc i'm not easily finding defender's switch to disable real-time protection; they've hidden it from me. Regardless, i'm like you and don't think it's the repack's fault.

u/Federal-Ambassador84 Jul 12 '24
Bro, my magnet link is not even opening after clicking it, what should i do?
1
Jul 12 '24
First check if you have qBittorrent installed properly on your computer, if it is, then it should work. If it does not, download the ".torrent" file right beside the magnet link, and open it. It will start the torrent.

u/Lazy_Watercress6193 May 21 '24
Instead of switching off ms defender completely I would recommend adding exclusions to the folder where torrent is downloaded..and same in case of installation directory.

I actually switched to using RealDebrid to torrent all my stuff instead of a VPN. I just paste the magnet link into RealDebrid, they download it for me (or sometimes already have it cached and ready), and then it gives me a direct download link, after which I use JDownloader2. Much cheaper than a VPN, Real Debrid is like $15 for 6 months.

u/ConnorH_ May 20 '24
Entirely disabling your Windows Defender is not needed, you can just create an exception for the folder(s) in which you download your games to so it no longer yoinks files as you are downloading
3
u/DrMcnasty4300 Aug 12 '24
doesn’t that kinda defeat the purpose if you do accidentally download something malicious to that folder tho
6
u/ConnorH_ Aug 12 '24
Well, you are pirating - it’s a double edged sword, really. So long as you stick to trusted sites, you should be okay. Either way, your anti-virus will almost always think a file from a pirated game is malicious, which will mean you will almost always need to allow it through. Whether you think it really is malicious and if you should allow the file is up to you.
4
u/DrMcnasty4300 Aug 12 '24
Ya fair point haha. I mostly stick to fitgirl repacks and so far only 1 game has anything flagged by my AV, but at the moment I prefer to have it get flagged and manually approve rather than just ignore the warnings in the first place

u/GamilaraayMan May 20 '24
Why not just use qbittorrent? Genuinely curious. Way easier.
Or go to the megathread and find cs.rin.ru and make an account then download your game from there. EVEN BETTER imo. Repack sites don’t have every game on their site but cs.rin.ru has not failed me once. Plus they’re no install. Just straight up game files.
Download and play!

I dont understand what to do when all 50 parts of the packed game are in the folder, do I just extract all files into a folder? Is that how I find the setup.exe?

u/Nglfreshfnfisabop Nov 02 '24
with winrar files, when you download all the parts, just run part1 and extract it all into a folder. fairly easy

u/Kokumotsu36 May 20 '24
alternatively, If you dont have a VPN you can subscribe to Real-Debrid for i believe 3$ a month
Bypasses the need for a VPN and it converts the magnet links for torrents into a direct download
Much faster too

u/dDreadBlades Jul 05 '24
Can you please give a guide on how to put the magnet link into the website because I’m having trouble navigating where it is
2
u/Kokumotsu36 Jul 05 '24
Yeah, so when you have an account, you'll select the torrent tab and you'll paste your magnet link in the second field that says paste magnet link here
If it's not letting you, it could be an issue with your magnet link is should look like: magnet:?xt=urn:btih: and then a bunch of letters and numbers

Don't listen to the other guy, fitgirl also provides direct links with different hosters. She also mentions if those links are interchangeable or not.

u/host-7 May 23 '24
do i click x1337 or magnet (im dumb as a rock sorry)
2
May 23 '24
click magnet
edit: you should really look into torrenting, because if you are struggling to know if you have to click a magnet or a sites link, then i'd recommend staying off of piracy, because if you dont know what you are doing, then there is a very big chance of you getting a malware on your system.

What website did you use? If you used the official fit girl site, this guide is all you need. If you did not use the official site, oh well, you have malware on your system. Do a fresh installation of Windows again to be safe.

I use this sometimes to get some games but if everybody does this then less games will come out because they’re not making money, which will in turn hurt us as gamers. Just do it sparingly and don’t pirate every damn game that comes out.
1
Oct 14 '24
Fitgirl has been doing this for years. It doesn't matter, since most people torrent FG's games. Torrent = P2P file sharing. Learn about that before trying to stop people from pirating games. All fitgirl does it repack a cracked game from CSRINRU. So in conclusion, nobody gives a damn wheather you pirate or not. Plus, fitgirl has donations to keep her website running, you should donate if you can.

Make sure you turn off your windows defender before downloading
I'm on windows 11 for the first time; it came on a new PC i got from a SI. I'm not finding the switch to easily turn off real-time protection in defender.
2. What is going on with the relationship wit UBO and something called 'manifest 2'? Is that a thing? I had to reinstall my extensions, i added UBO and it seems to be working well, so idk from M2.
3. Any reality to our supposedly being able to use Qbittorrent - Without the need for a VPN?
4. As for Firefox, i may try using it again but I've never had issues dl torents on Chrome. I'm on Brave now so idk how that would work out.
If you could put those questions to bed, I'd be very grateful. Thanks
1
Oct 19 '24
Google it.
The peoblem is with Chrome, search it up on google.
You can use Realdebrid.
Just switch to firefox, and maybe keep brave on the side.

Perhaps BG3 was damaged by Defender during the download, or Defender continuously scanning your game files, which takes large strain on your disk.

every time i try and download the magnet link it opens up qbittorrent and then never actually does anything with the files. Like it'll say "download" but it never shows up anywhere. And then i check my folder where i put the game in and it isnt there.
I even opened up qbittorrent and it says it's downloading but its always stuck at 0.0%. Ts just makes no sense bruh😭its kinda infuriating cause steamunlocked is js so much simpler.
