These were much smaller than the ones she had made and that’s when things got started. While FitGirl was building a personal home archive, she (we will use this pronoun) stumbled upon public repacks released on pirate sites.
“I was using 7-Zip back then and thought that there was nothing better in terms of compression.” “In 2012, probably, when I started making an offline collection for myself,” FitGirl tells us. As the site’s FAQ clearly states that the gender issue is irrelevant, we began at the origins. To find out more about this largely unknown figure – who uses the likeness of Amélie – we reached out to FitGirl.
But whether FitGirl is he or she or they in real-life, our interest was piqued. It’s an intriguing handle in a niche that’s more often associated with chubby guys. When we compiled our list of most visited torrent sites earlier this year, FitGirl Repacks was one of the newcomers. While there are several active repackers, there’s one who has climbed through the ranks like no other – FitGirl. Repacks can be made from legitimately purchased games but, in pirate circles, they come with a crack to remove protection. For pirated games, this solution comes in the form of ‘repacks’, which are essentially compressed versions of full games that work just like the real thing. This is a problem for people that have bandwidth caps or those who have limited storage or archive space.Įvery problem has a solution, of course, especially in a pirate ecosystem where copyright laws are ignored. However, it does take up digital resources, as some games can be well over 100 gigabytes. Downloading a pirated game doesn’t cost a penny.
