Normally I don't have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.

Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it's offline.

So my question is, how to get a movie like "Sing 2" in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.

If you wanna go really casual, there's sites like https://movie-web.app which will let you stream most movies in decent quality.

What I learnt the other day from this community.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This. You'd be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

The quality is terrible, though. All of these sites rely on the same bitrate starved YTS rips. It's why torrenting remains popular for people who care about presentation, because you have so many more options than just the absolute bare minimum.

And how ass the buffering can be at times too. I've switched to stremio for the family, and torrent movies I want to see offline.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It is a hosted version of open source movie-web app

This is stupidly easy, says someone who likes to watch quick and easy stuff with Stremio and Torrential.

I use torrents-csv https://torrents-csv.ml/ and find the movie I want and download it. I'm like you, I hardly watch movies, this is the most seamless way for me to do it.

Would recommend Stremio with Torrentio plug-in, works great on Google TV

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once set up, it's the laziest way to watch something. Torrentio does have an issue finding torrents for specials and other extra video content.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

With realdebrid it's even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

well with premiumize it's even better :) they cache usenet and DDL links too. I've had way more success with obscure titles on there than i did with realdebrid

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More information about this premiumize? First time hearing about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I did some research and found mixed reviews. It's also quite expensive. I also tried Uncloud via Onion but the couple of NZB's I tried failed, probably out of retention, even though they were <1000 days old

Instead, I signed up for Easynews for US$36 for 1 year (via here instead of US$10 / month. Then I installed this Stremio plugin. Some of my shows were not on RD, but I can find them on Easynews. And the good thing is that I can also use it with my *arr + nzbget set up :)

@[email protected] you may be interested in this as well.

Go on, this interests me. as an RD user, I'm always interested in knowing that there is a better service.

How does one find stuff on usenet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don't have an API. I've automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.

yts . mx

everything is organised great

no cam bullshit, everything is bluray or webrip

i think movies there are a bit compressed, but personally i dont even notice it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

a better alternative for new movies is psa. wf

their quality is exceptional with small size.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
  • I love yts because of the small sizes. I don't care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Fair enough if you have no standards but don't pretend it's a choice between YTS and remuxes with nothing in-between. There is a very noticeable increase in quality just going from YTS to anything slightly larger.

This thread has been the first time I've been downvoted for a good faith comment I made lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I use torrent galaxy, that seems to work pretty well.

Qbittorent to get the thing you want. Recommended to get a VPN while doing so.

Dump the file into a flash drive and plug into a TV. Or setup a shared network drive. Or set up a Plex server with a basic Music/TV/Movie folder structure , have Plex scan it, and stream like your other streaming apps.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Once I have downloaded it I can play it in VLC on my computer and choose the cromecast as the renderer which works great, the only thing not working are the subtitles.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you've an option to install android apps, then OnStream is a good option.

Second option is HDO.

They generally have 1080p videos, but can also have CAM prints.

In my country torrent sites are blocked, so I use a search plugin for qBittorrent to find Linux ISOs. I don't quite remember which one I use or how I installed, but it was quite simple. Google is your friend.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Make sure to use a vpn when your country cares about this stuff. Its not fun to pay 800€ for one episode of the fucking walking dead. (Germany)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I heard Germany is way too aggressive with this. I wonder what will happen if I were to travel to germany and download copyrighted material on my mobile data

(Make sure you’re doing this all behind a VPN)

I don’t personally trust the free streaming sites. I torrent the bare mp4 or mkv file because I can just play it on my own computer without worrying about malware or being tracked.

There are multiple mirrors for The Pirate Bay, just search it on your favorite search engine and they should come up. At least one of them always works. There’s also sites like 1337x, among other free trackers. (RIP RARBG, you’ll always live in our hearts)

There’s also private trackers that are a lot easier to get into than others.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (6 children)

If you don't need to download it, there's himovies.sx. There used to be option to download, but maybe they had some issues with that.

I think the mega thread is a good place to start, but have checked out x1337 for movies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Actually I was trying to search for something in the archive but the search is quite bad it seems. Also I don't see a mega thread.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's literally in the pic, on the right, under the wiki (under the cartoon of the pirate)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah thanks, somehow I thought it'd be a pinned post.
