If you are going to attempt to navigate warez sites, take a very simple step: Disable javascript. That will stop all the popups and automatic redirects. There are top100, top70, topwhatever web sites that list plenty of warez locales. Most warez these days are stored on "free space" type servers--the ones that give people a "virtual drive", like XDrive, FreeDrive, etc. The problem is that they permit users to have freebie throwaway accounts as the account of reference. The owners know that their sites are warez havens, and they don't give a damn. A great number of warez distribution is done via IRC, where various channels are nothing more than advertisement loops for FTP or IRCserver hosts. You can set up an IRCserver with nothing more than a copy of mIRC and a free script package. How do I know all this stuff? I took a whole hour and poked around online. That semester of library training certainly pays off sometimes.
