As in spam to your e-mail? That implies you registering per email to download. The only instance where that is acceptable would be a private tracker. As a leecher you may also register on a debrid; one-click hoster or any forum; but with a junk mail address.
If you meant getting spammed by pop-up ads...add-block + whitelist entries for certain captcha verification. Other than that; stay away from any sites wanting you to register or participate in any click-bait shenanigans. If you can't get to what you want to download in less than two clicks from the download link...find another side.
Reason I ask, I downloaded a book once from an ebook site, and have seen thousands of spam ever since.

Email spam. It was a sign-up.
