Warning: Many torrent search sites contain ads and links to adult content and other not-safe-for-work material. Visit torrent search sites at your own risk. Try to find a torrent that has a lot of “seeders”. These are the people that are sharing the files, and the more you can connect to, the faster your download can go (up to your connection’s limit). Torrent sites often change their web address to avoid being shut down by the authorities. Use a search engine such as Google to find a current list of active torrent search sites.

Be sure to scan programs you download through torrents before running them.
If you are lucky, the program will come pre-cracked by the person who uploaded the torrent. Some games require you to replace the main EXE file in the installed game’s folder with a cracked version. You’ll then run this replacement EXE file every time you want to play the game. Be sure to scan any EXE files for viruses before running them. Some games require you to run a key generator program that will provide you with a working CD-key. Be sure to scan any key generators or crack programs for viruses before you run them. Some games have a simple EXE file that you will need to run once in order to unlock the game. Be sure to scan any EXE files for viruses before you download them. In some cases, you may be asked to edit configuration files in order to play the game. You’ll find the instructions in the README file.
