    downloading a repack made by some Russian somewhere in 15 parts from 5 different filesharing websites

    Never had this problem with fitgirl but rinru users unfortunately end up using some awful rate limited site usually. It’s always a pleasant surprise when it’s a drive link tho

    The latter option does leave you with the game in your Steam account though

    This is why I use them. Someone hosted a zomboid server on here but it’s set to steam only, I don’t want to give any money to valve if possible and I’m definitely not buying the game a third time at full price so I just used a gift card and got it for ~$7.

    Honestly if I end up in a similar situation I’ll probably just do it again shrug-outta-hecks

      It’s even better when you click through all the captchas and countdowns and get that juicy, juicy link only to be greeted by “This file can be downloaded by Premium Users only” owl-pissed

        Thankfully I haven’t encountered that in forever but I always get multi-part 5gb download thats capped to 1mb/s and takes 5 hours
