Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I allowed qbittorent to make a fire rule exception but I turned it off to make sure. I've tried using no VPN and still nothing so that's not an issue.

Anyone have any insight? Or perhaps another reliable source for large games? Sorry for the basic question. I feel like my piracy know how hasn't evolved in a decade.

I don't usually bother with pirating games but I'm trying to help someone. I tried from two sources and one is stuck on stalled and the other has said "downloading metadata" for over a day.

Thank you

Edit: I realized the whole program was offline so I played with the port settings (selected a random one and added a new firewall rule) and now they're working. Not sure what caused the issue in the first place but I've decided to leave this post up in case someone else has a similar problem.
