Boerse review

Boerse (boerse.im) is a German-language warez forum where members share direct download links to films, series, music, e-books, games and software hosted on one-click file hosters. It runs on vBulletin, lists boerse.am, boerse.ai, boerse.sx and boerse.tw as alternative domains and presents itself as the continuation of the old Boerse.bz, Boerse.sx and Boerse.sh boards. You need a free account to see most of the forum.

What is Boerse (boerse.im)?

Boerse is a classic board rather than a download site: everything happens in threads. The main sections are:

• Boerse – the download area, with Datenaustausch (file sharing and file hosters) and a Marktplatz for listings;
• Talk – off-topic, gaming, films and series, music, sport, TV and satellite, buying advice;
• Netzwelt – scene talk, downtimes and invites, webmasters;
• Hard & Software – Windows, Android, Apple, Linux, networking, video editing, security and anonymity;
• Einsteiger and Tutorials for newcomers.

The forum does not host files itself. Uploaders post links to file hosters, so speed depends on the host: free downloads are slow and limited, while a premium account or a debrid service gives full speed. Board rules were last updated in November 2025.

Boerse history: from boerse.bz to boerse.im

The Boerse name has a long and complicated history, and several unrelated boards have used it:

• Boerse.bz started as a sister board of the German IT forum gulli.com and ranked among the 200 most visited websites in Germany, with nearly three million members according to its operators. After police searched 121 homes in November 2014 following a complaint by the anti-piracy group GVU, the operators closed it on 11 November 2014.
• Boerse.to was opened in August 2014 by the former moderators. The music rights society GEMA obtained a DNS block order against Vodafone and 1&1 for Boerse.to, and the forum went offline in February 2021.
• The board now on boerse.im is the one previously known as boerse.sx and boerse.sh. In May 2019 the .sh domain was not renewed and was taken over by someone else, and the forum moved to boerse.am and boerse.im.
• Boerse.cx, which appeared in 2021, is a separate copy that reused the look of Boerse.to; its admin said it has no link to the old team.

In January 2024 boerse.im briefly redirected to the German forum myGully, which fuelled rumours that the two boards are run by the same people. Neither forum confirmed it, but in October 2024 both went offline at the same time with the same error.

Is Boerse safe?

The forum itself does not ask you to install anything, but the files are uploaded by members, and that is where the risk is. In March 2024 the German site Tarnkappe reported infected download links for Windows programs that stayed online for about a month even after users reported them, and some uploaders used names similar to well-known uploaders to look trustworthy. Members have also complained about spam private messages. A few rules:

• be very careful with software, cracks and keygens: they are the usual way malware spreads; films, series and music are much safer, and a real video is never an .exe;
• check that the uploader has a long history and read the replies before downloading;
• scan archives with an antivirus or VirusTotal before opening them;
• use a password you don’t use anywhere else for your account, and ignore private messages with links.

Direct downloads don’t share your IP address with other users like torrents do, but a VPN is still useful if your provider blocks the forum or the file hosters.

Boerse new domain and mirrors

The forum is on boerse.im and lists boerse.am, boerse.ai, boerse.sx and boerse.tw as alternative addresses. Not every Boerse domain belongs to it: boerse.to and boerse.bz are closed, boerse.cx is a different board, and in October 2024 boerse.kz redirected to the streaming site KinoX. If you land on a Boerse domain that looks different or asks you to install something, close it.

Boerse not working? Status

If boerse.im does not open, check the Boerse status page: it tests the main domain automatically and shows whether the forum is down for everyone or only blocked where you are. In that case one of the alternative domains or a VPN usually helps.

Our Boerse verdict

Boerse is one of the last big German warez boards: a large community, active sections for films, series and software and a long history behind the name. The downsides are the mandatory account, the confusing mix of official domains and copies, and uploads that are not always checked, especially in the software section. Stick to the official domains, avoid suspicious executables and Boerse can still be useful for German-speaking users.
