FitGirl repacks are generally considered safe. Make sure you have the right site, and use a VPN if you're in a country that cares about piracy.
There's a bunch of other good resources in the megathread

+1 for the vpn. The last isp letter i got was from one of her torrents, and it wasn't even that popular of a game.
Woah really? ISPs coming out and bothering you cause you pirate stuff? Never heard of it. I'd jump ship immediately if I got one such letter.

You must have the distinct privilege of not living in the USA or several other Western countries.

If you mean jump ship off that ISP, there's nothing you can do. You can go to another ISP (if there even is one in your area), who will do the exact same thing. You can jump ship entirely and not have internet, I guess.
This is my personal strategy, works pretty well:
- Grab a repack from fitgirl /dodi / kaoscrew via torrent when possible. Use the official sites.
- Check gog-games, if it's available without drm
- Check rin (Steam Underground) if it's not too large
- Grab from GGn or whatever other private tracker might have it.
- Get straight scene release, if available, as last resort.
This covers probably 99% of PC games, emulators are a different story.
As for getting started, grab 7z (an archiving utility) and know how to mount an ISO. Stay safe, don't download from sketchy sites. Since you are dealing with executables, some things will look (and act) like viruses, use your best judgement.
