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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Why in the ass would you need a plugin for downloading Linus ISOs which are free and non-illegal

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

Oftentimes anything copyrighted like warez, music and movies are called 'linux isos' to hide the fact that you are doing something shady.

Like: "I got a NAS with 20TB of Linux Isos to enjoy."

Oh. Okay good to know. But wouldn't it be redundant to use something like this here in a piracy sub

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

Sure. Buts its also an inside joke.

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] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, how so you so it without Torrent then, in Germany? Usenet only?

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

Use a VPN. Also I am only using private trackers which minimizes the risk drastically. But Usenet is also fine. When I still tried to get German content oftentimes you will find OneClickHosters though, but I only get english content nowadays, so the scene could habe changed.

Doesn't 1337x.to work for you instead of tpb?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still use 1337x.to for most things but i had some problems lately where the site freezes and all buttons redirect to some "tinder" add or so. Is this normal now or something in my browser config

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it’s the ad overlay, when I click the search button an ad opens in another tab and I have to go back to re click the button. Sometimes 2-3 times before I’m allowed to click.

It’s annoying but 3 clicks for a movie is obviously cheap.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok thanks, then I know that it's normal and some thing on my pc or browser.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Doesn‘t happen for me with firefox+ublock. Maxbe try that?

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

  • I love yts because of the small sizes. I don't care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 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.

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

can you recommend some of the websites that have those slightly larger versions? I would prefer if they are well organised like yts (multiple qualities/versions on the same page, cover pictures, ratings, good search...)

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

1337x and TorrentGalaxy are generally pretty decent. Compare bitrates for audio and video and take note of the names of the release group. You'll start to develop a mental list of names to look for. In terms of films, I'd recommend looking for Tigole releases on 1337x as a starting point.
