What is TSBay.org?
TSBay.org (short version of TheShareBay.org) is currently one of the biggest warez forums in the world. Everyday we provide our visitors with thousands of full version software, games, movies, and more. The site started in Sept. 2006. We got our name from Share, the synonym for sharing and Bay, a synonym for having all shared files in one place.
Is this free?
Yes, it is all 100% free. We promise to never charge you for anything you download off our website. If in the future we decide to sell anything, the main downloads will always remain free for anyone to download and use.
We do ask however to support us by clicking our affiliate links. By donating anything, you are also helping contribute to our work. If nobody clicked our affiliate links or donated for us, we would be offline.
How is this legal?
It is legal in selected countries, where we are based this is not illegal. If you do not know if its legal or not where you live, then it's probably not! And even if it is, you cannot be caught like other services such as P2P and torrents! In some countries, you need to own the original program/file legally, before you can download it from our site.
How do I download anything?
This site works by posting links from our users. So, after copy & paste of a download in your browser bar, a new window will open. If the download is from a file hosting service such as Rapidshare or Megaupload, you need to download each file by loading it in a new window and waiting for the download link to appear. However we also provide RapidShare Premium accounts for our VIP. Those who have donated to ShareBay.
What do I do after I download?
After downloading, you need to scan all files with an antivirus, we suggest NOD32 or Kaspersky. Almost all files are compressed into .rar or .zip archives. To use these you must install a rar/zip software such as WinRAR or WinZip. Then you need to extract all files to a folder.
There are different applications available, depending on what you want to do with the downloaded files. Files ending in IMG, BIN/CUE, ISO and NRG are usually copies (also known as "images") of CDs. To burn these CD images onto CDs, we suggest using Nero Burning ROM. If you would prefer to install the image without having to burn it onto a CD first, then we suggest Daemon Tools. Daemon Tools (fools your computer into believing) emulates the image file on to a fake CD/DVD drive, allowing you to install the image contents.
Why are there broken links?
There are broken links sometimes because of the amount of visitors downloading. A lot of times the files are downloaded so much, they become dead. Another reason is they have been deleted because of local laws. To help make our job easier, please report all dead downloads as broken with the
button for each download.Can I post links too?
Yes, of course. It is possible to post downloads too. Just upload the file you want to share to a filehost like Rapidshare or Megaupload and then use the
button or the 
button to add your downloads. If you need further assistance you can contact our moderators.Can I get viruses from your site?
No, our site does not have any viruses, trojans, spyware, or anything that can infect your computer. However, we do link other sites that sometimes may have spyware or something similar on them. If you have found a download containing a virus, please report the download (using the
button located at the bottom of the topic) with as many details as possible. We will inspect the file(s) and ban the user if indeed found to contain malware.How can I become VIP on your site?
