Piracy

A search engine that unifies shadow libraries (Library Genesis, Sci-Hub, Z-Library) in one interface.

A community site sharing audiobooks via torrents and direct links. Unlike book-focused archives it deals only in audiobooks.

The source list most of this field’s links come from; it gathers media, games, books and tools by category. Unlike FMHY it is a GitHub repository open to contribution. The repository is archived (last update June 2023), so the list is no longer updated; FMHY is a living alternative.

A companion that automatically finds and downloads subtitles for your Sonarr/Radarr library. Unlike hunting subtitles by hand it rules the language and quality and keeps filling gaps.

“Free Media Heck Yeah” — one of the largest indexes of free media, tools and resources. Unlike individual sites it gathers them category by category, with safety notes, and keeps them current.

A categorised directory of direct-download ebooks. Unlike a single archive such as Anna's Archive/LibGen, it is a catalogue linking out to external hosts.

A community guide to how private torrent trackers work and how to get in. Unlike rumour it explains the ratio, invite and rules systems step by step.

A widely used shadow library hosting books and academic articles.

A request interface that takes the household’s film/series requests and passes them to the *arr tools. Unlike direct server access it lets a non-technical user request with a button.

A bridge that manages torrent and Usenet indexers in one place and connects them to the *arr tools. Unlike configuring each tool separately it centralises the indexer list.

An ad-free, open-source BitTorrent client with built-in search and sequential streaming. Unlike closed clients it carries no bundled software or ads.

A resource index maintained by the r/Piracy community, organised by area. Unlike random search it is community-vetted, with dead and trap links weeded out.

A community guide to getting started with Usenet and choosing providers and indexers. Unlike ad sites it is comparative, neutral and experience-based.

The film counterpart to Sonarr — it watches your wishlist and downloads automatically when a suitable release appears. Unlike searching one by one it picks the best source by quality profile.

An open-source client that automates Usenet downloads — including verification, repair and extraction. Unlike manual downloading it takes an NZB and completes the whole chain itself.

A controversial repository providing access to paywalled academic papers.

A tool that watches TV series and automatically fetches and organises new episodes via a downloader. Unlike manual tracking it puts quality, naming and archiving under rules.

A meta-search engine that queries dozens of torrent sites at once from one interface — a search layer over many trackers, not a single tracker.

A lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client that can run headless on a server. Unlike desktop clients it uses few resources and suits remote management.
