Some of the most effective methods of illegally downloading and distributing copyrighted materials on the internet include using peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, using websites that link to external torrents or other file sharing platforms, utilizing botnets to conduct large scale downloads and distributions, spoofing IP addresses to mask one's identity, downloading software which has been designed to help with pirating copyrighted materials and using fake serial numbers or Crackz. These techniques allow individuals to download massive amounts of data quickly and anonymously while avoiding detection from copyright holders.

Some of the most popular methods to illegally download and distribute copyrighted materials include using peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing services, direct download from websites or torrent trackers, email services and instant messaging (IM) networks to send large files, or specialized software programs to automate the process. Additionally, while more difficult than the above methods due to their security measures, it is also possible to use virtual private networks (VPNs), free webhosts/hosts with generous limits/file-sharing websites and online forums and chat rooms. However, users should note that regardless of which method they choose these actions are still illegal no matter if money exchanges hands or not.
