fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

Losing fmovies wasn't the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It's the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can't handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.

Dude, there is the golden age I've waited 20yrs for.

Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you're set. Never worry again.

Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.

The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.

Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁
