FitGirl Repacks is a website distributing pirated video games. FitGirl Repacks is known for "repacking" games – compressing them significantly so they can be downloaded and shared more efficiently.[2][3] TorrentFreak listed FitGirl Repacks at sixth in 2021[4] and at ninth in 2020's Top 10 Most Popular Torrent Sites lists.[5]
FitGirl, the creator of the site, does not crack games; instead using existing game installers or pirated game files like releases from the warez scene and repackaging them into a significantly smaller download size. The repacked games, usually limited to Microsoft Windows, are distributed using file hosting services and BitTorrent. FitGirl Repacks claims to be based in Latvia.[6][7]
The mascot of FitGirl Repacks is the French actress Audrey Tautou as she appears in the 2001 movie Amélie, a French romantic comedy directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.[7]
Despite the claims that Fitgirlrepacks.co is the "ONLY official site for FitGirl Repacks", this site is far from official. As per the warning on the real FitGirl site, this is a fake, "made to infect you with malware, show you tons of ads and get your money as donations." The claim that the domain is a malware trap appears to be supported by anti-malware software MalwareBytes, which blocks the platform while warning of 'trojan'. The big question is why this domain (and the several others that appear following a basic 'FitGirl' search) are promoted to the top spots by Google.
