FitGirl Repacks is a site 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] FitGirl Repacks does not crack games, instead using existing game installers or pirated game files like releases from the warez scene and repacking them to a significantly smaller download size. The repacked games, usually limited to Microsoft Windows, are distributed using file hosting services and BitTorrent. Download instructions and information for new releases are posted on the FitGirl Repacks blog website and three torrent directories: 1337x, RuTor and Tapochek. FitGirl Repacks is based in Latvia.[citation needed]
