Can anyone direct me to where I can do that or how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

Just want to download something a game for, err, free, essentially.

    What are good torrent clients? What are “repacks”? What are “scenes”? What are all these terms? What’s a “crack”?

      For torrent clients: Always use an open source one. it should have an IP binding feature if you need to torrent with a VPN. My favorites are qbittorrent for any desktop OS and libretorrent for android.

      Repacks are compressed games to reduce download size (and time) for people with limited internet bandwidth. After the game is downloaded, you decompress it.

      idk what a scene is.

      Cracking is removing DRM from a game to allow you to play it for free. Many games are DRM free and don’t need cracking (like games reuploaded from GOG store like this site.)

        Thanks. I’ll try qbittorent. What do you think?

        I’m looking for repacks at this point. Preferably for my Steam account.

        Scenes are the groups that provide the cracked game or software. Today there’s Goldberg, CPY, P2P, and that’s bout it. The old groups like Skidrow and Reloaded stopped after Denuvo for the most part. There’s a new one called DOGE too that I’ve never seen before, named after the meme.

        The name is very, very old. Comes from the 80s I believe, back when people started cracking software.

          Ohh that makes sense, thank for explaining. I’ve never followed a specific scene because I wasn’t aware it’s a thing, just looked for whatever had a lot of seeds.
