Zone-Téléchargement has recently changed addresses because of its legal concerns, but also because of the many clones that take advantage of its popularity to swindle internet users. This article tells you everything you need to know about the site and its new URL.
Zone-Téléchargement benefited from the New Year at address change. One of the popular French download sites has often been targeted by authorities in recent years, often undermining the quality of its services. But today the platform appears reborn from the ashes, maybe, this time, forever. To avoid falling for a clone that would want the integrity of your PC, we explain everything you need to know on the site.
🔎 Zone-Download, what is it for and how does it work?
Zone-Téléchargement was born in 2012. The site quickly becomes known for its rather incredible range of download movies and series for free (and therefore illegal), whether in VF or VOSTFR. The latter is very popular for its ease of use – it does not require third-party software as is the case for YggTorrent and Cpasbien – but also for its very active communitye, which does not hesitate to publish content just a few hours after broadcast.
In 2016, four years after its creation, Zone-Téléchargement is at its peak. The website counts 3.7 million users active per month, making it the eleventh most visited on the entire French web. Necessarily, this sudden popularity led to a setback. The police finally take an interest in the platform and arrest the two creators who will spend 3 months in prison.
🤔 Why is it often complicated to connect to Zone-Téléchargement?
Since then it is very difficult to find the address of the site. Especially in the last few months, it has changed its URL many times in order to do this to escape justice. After all, the authorities cannot prosecute the administrators if their site is hosted abroad. It is therefore necessary first of all to find the official address, which is not necessarily easy if you do not know where to go to find out.
To make matters worse, several Zone-Téléchargement clones are regularly put online. Like those from The Pirate Bay, for example, these apparently resemble the original site perfectly. Only they only exist for hack unhappy users. Very often the hosted files contain malware which then infects the user’s PC.
A few months ago, Zone-Téléchargement itself was the victim of a hack. The database was exposed and misused by hackers who took advantage of it multiply the number of clones. Today, therefore, it is very dangerous to try to visit the site without knowing its official address.

🆕 What is the new address of Zone-Telechargement?
Until a few days ago, you still had to visit zone-annonce.hair to access the site’s library of content. Administrators have now simplified it by creating a new domain name. The new official address is therefore as follows:
www.zone-telechargement.biz
Note that all users who already have an account on the platform can do so find him at the new address. Basically nothing changes, except the URL. In addition, the creators stated that pop-ups and other advertisements present on the platform are removed to prevent this “to make the site as pleasant as possible, as it always should have been”.
