The real winner of the streaming wars.
I was perfectly happy with streaming services for a couple years when there were only like 2 good ones. I stopped torrenting for a long time and now I’m back to torrenting again
As a designer, programmer, and music engraver/editor, I’ve always paid for all media I’ve consumed because I’ve strongly believed creators deserve to be paid.
But after the Napster, Ticketmaster, Netflix, and dozens of other egregious examples of corporate sadism, I’m proud to sail the high seas now.
Ooooo I only have Torrent, is Torrent+ better? I rarely use it anyway
Torrent+ is not free, you need to download the cracked version on Limewire, and remember to turn off your AV before installing it also don’t forget to enter your real name and address to bypass the registration box 😉
I had stopped piracy for probably 12 years? Streaming was easy and cheap and worth it. I have a huge collection of movies I bought on google play. Then everything went to shit and everyone kept hiking the prices while losing anything interesting.
I like my plex server now. To the point where when I had amazon prime for shipping I still torrented the new season of the boys and hazbin.
This is the way
Use Tribler to avoid (or heavily limit) DMA notices
Why the downvotes?
Torrent+ is seriously a great streaming service. Great selection. Affordable prices.
It’s just the best.
Hollywood can get bent, we need open source culture
I never stopped. Big corp always lulls us into a false sense of security before springing the trap. I streamed for a little while but always kept me sails dusted.
There was a period of time when streaming video from the official sources was more convenient than piracy and that was worse the price for a lot of people. Their greed eneded this time.
You dust your sails?
Laughs in usenet
Yea, torrents. Sure. Lol.
Yeah I run a small service for friends and its almost all Usenet powered now. I still like to seed torrents anyway just as an extra fuck you.
That’s the spirit!
This, plus self hosting jellyfin and *arr and I basically have a better service, with no ads, nice UI, access from all my devices, offline access, 4K resolution, music streaming. Basically the all-inclusive premium plan, not exactly for free, but for a very reasonable cost.
I dump Blu-rays to my NAS with zero re-encoding. Even for older shows the quality is leaps and bounds superior to any streaming service with plenty of bandwidth.
My brother in Christ please get Handbrake. Your storage space will go much farther if you’re at least re-encoding after the fact.
Some people are just insane and swear they can see a quality difference between compressed and uncompressed.
I think it’s bunk, but it’s not my storage space.
I wish I could give you 100 upvotes
hey! I stole this first!!
It’s called sharing, not stealing, my brother in Christ. ;-
fucking pwned
The children yearn for the streams. They make jokes about seeding. The netflixes have won, at least for now.
We just need Torrentz to be more, well umm… anonymous
It’s as anonymous as you are willing to be, vpn (through a vpn) over i2p, or clear text, it’s up to you.
