Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections “All Purpose”, “Tools”, and “Software”… however, I didn’t find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said “great website for cracked software”.
Thanks in advance. :)
All I see is people “beating around the bush” and whatnot. Here are my two suggestions:
- https://forum.dirtywarez.com/ - great for general software, most links are direct download
- https://www.teamos.xyz/ - great for custom OS images, Adobe stuff and big stuff that is usually delivered as torrents
- https://forums.mydigitallife.net/ - great for clean Windows/Office installers, keys, cracks
Enjoy.
Vouch for teamos. Haven’t tried the others.
Also it’s three suggestions ;)
The last one to my head while typing ahah
I’ll check these out. Thanks a million!!
Most private general trackers have various software from reputable uploaders. I would avoid most public sources unless you know the upload is from 1st party uploader and not re-upload.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what a “private general tracker” is. Are you referring to torrenting? Thanks for responding.
Yes. And by general I mean they don’t specialize in a particular category of content, but allow everything.
https://fmhy.net/ and your site, what’s the difference?
CSS. Mine is the official site from the Github, yours is a mirror with different styling (works great on mobile).
you download an original image and then: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts oh I misread the question, even pirate bay has software, use trackers, try to get to closed ones.
Why don’t you simply use open source software solutions. I find this software to be of greater quality and better than closed source software. You can find open source to pretty much everything nowadays.
Open source software generally has a terrible UI/UX. It’s designed by nerd for nerds which is great if that’s you, but most people aren’t so it sucks.
And a lot of the time any attempts to improve it will get rejected because it’s a small team who works on it, and it’s exactly the way they want it. Since they don’t have to market the software there’s no incentive to make it good.
Also it’s never industry standard, and good luck getting a tutorial for it online.
This is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard in my life.
You sound exactly like someone who would use Slobs instead of OBS.
That’s not really the case for the majority with some exceptions of course. So which open source software has the worst UI/UX without any alternative?
Yep. This is by far the safest solution. No need to worry about downloading potential malware. Just make sure to download from official sources, or using chocolatey or winget.

You’d find the opposite of you use what I use. Open source alternatives to every piece of software that keeps me on windows kind of blows in comparison.
Can you give me an example?
For many reasons I don’t wanna get into, DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) on Linux suck. I have a dedicated windows machine for audio production.
I am not an expert but I think you can achieve some things in Linux that won’t be possible under Windows, thanks to pipewire and Jack, giving you a lot more control. I would definitely recommend you to check out JACK and pipewire. Ubuntu studio is an example of beginner-friendly Linux distribution that’s audio/video production centric that comes with everything installed and configured. If I was you I would at least check it out.
Additionally, there is a plethora of open source software, like Audacity, Mixxx, Ardour, etc.
And to be honest, the risk of using cracked software and catching malware is much higher and if you do audio production for a living I would strongly suggest you to avoid it if possible, not to mention any legal complications that might arise of using cracked software!
With all due respect, I’m all for FOSS but DAWs don’t really have a good alternative. Recommending Audacity over FL/Live/Logic like saying Paint is a good free alternative for Photoshop. Doesn’t really make sense.
Iirc the only DAW that might barely be enough is LMMS which runs on Linux.
It’s not FOSS but what about Bitwig? I only have surface-level knowledge of DAWs but it seems comparable to FL or Ableton.
See my comment above. Bitwig could be okay but it’s limited by the rest of the plugin ecosystem being mac and windows only.
Yes, I understand pipewire and jack. The quality of the open source tools around the actual production is bad. Like really bad. Most VSTs (plug-in synths and effects) are windows or mac only too. 99.9% of plugins are naturally prorietary because people wanna be paid for their work in the audio industry. The only acceptable DAW is Bitwig which has a worse licensing scheme than my current DAW (FL studio) and crashed on me every 30min with no way of debugging.
AutoCAD and Ableton are my two most-used pieces of software. There are no FOSS alternatives that get anywhere close
FreeCAD or Libre CAD, and LMMS are options, but not sure how feature rich they are.
Trust me…I’d kill to get Autodesk and their always-online DRM off my PC…but those are not alternatives. I do CAD professionally with established standards and LISP routines. I’d have to learn a new programming language to even consider switching
This is the best answer. Unless OP need MS Office or some shit, most tools have an open source option.
There is libre office, which is a great replacement for MS Office.
To some degree. If you’ve to collaborate with other who use MS Office and/or use advanced Excel formulas it won’t be enough.
That’s Microsoft to blame. Their so-called “open” OOXML document standard is so complicated that it’s almost impossible to implement it, a very interesting read on the topic: https://tfir.io/never-use-microsofts-ooxml-pseudo-standard-format/
But I would say the Libre office should be good enough for 98% of the usage and you would hardly find any interoperability issues, due to the constant dedication of their developers who reverse engineered a lot of MS shenanigans.
Well what are you expecting? Not even between MS Office versions things work sometimes, and after all we’re talking about Excel, the piece of shit software made by some genius team that thinks that having data stored in multiple encodings… Also from the same team you get dates that are stored as strings and parsed live according to whatever computer language / locate you’re using making it a total mess when you’ve to share spreadsheets across languages. Only if there weren’t already good and solid technical solutions used by every developer out there to deal with those kinds of things. UTF-8, ISO dates, timestamps :P
Yes, the whole OOXML is one hot mess.

Back in the day I used nsanedown.com. Seems to be around still.
I recommend nsanedown also
FileCR is my go toEdit: Nevermind
Crap…
Thanks for the heads up. Do you have an alternative you would recommend?
Just OEM key it. Alternatively watch LinusTechTips. In sure they did a video of using Windows sans license.
Pretty sure they’re asking for software FOR Windows, rather than Windows itself.
STOP STEALING SOFTWARE. USE WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN, PIRATE NIGG3R
