How to download files from Telegram

Every file on this site lives in a public Telegram channel. We only show where it is — the download itself happens in Telegram. It takes a minute the first time.

What you need

  • A free Telegram account (it is created with your phone number).
  • The Telegram app on your phone or computer — or Telegram Web in the browser (web.telegram.org).

Steps

  1. On a file page, press Open in Telegram.
  2. If a preview page on t.me opens, press View in Telegram / Open in Telegram. The post opens in your app.
  3. You do not need to join the channel. Tap the file in the post to start the download.
  4. Find the file:
    • Windows / Mac: the Downloads folder (Telegram Desktop). Right-click the file → “Save As” to choose another folder.
    • Android: tap ⋮ on the file → “Save to Downloads”.
    • iPhone: open the file → Share → “Save to Files”.

Common problems

“The post is deleted” or the channel is gone

Channels disappear sometimes. Many files are posted in several channels — check the Download sources list on the file page, or search for the same board number.

The archive asks for a password

The password is usually written in the post text, or it is the channel name. Look at the post and the channel description.

The download is slow

Big files (BIOS packs, software) can take time. Telegram can limit speed for free accounts; the desktop app is usually the fastest.

Stay safe

  • Scan programs (.exe, .msi, .apk) on virustotal.com before running them.
  • Never type your Telegram login code into any website. We never ask you to log in.
  • Firmware from channels is not verified. Always keep a backup of your original BIOS.
