    Tbh, all you need nowadays for most stuff is a VPN , Qbittorrent and 1337x.to

    Download speeds are such that a 1.5gb film takes about a minute to download (in Europe, not sure about third world countries lol)

    If you need something more obscure, look up how to add the search engine to Qbittorrent

      I highly discourage 1337x. They got caught not banning a user who intentionally uploaded malware. Forgive the reddit link, but there aren’t a lot of piracy news sites.

        Dude… Malware comes hand-in-hand with pirating. You just have to exercise caution and you’ll probably be fine.

        Damn. Just learned that trusting 1337x and IGGGAMES was a bad idea. Trying to teach my little pirate how to be safe on the high seas only to find out the places and people I thought were safe aren’t so.

        Realdebrid just finds the torrents for you though, right? You’d still need a VPN since you’re technically downloading the movie to watch it. I know a lot of ISPs send notices if you torrent a copyrighted movie

          Nope. It also downloads the torrent for you and gives you download link or stream link to the video. Most of the time, the torrent is already on their cache, so it’s instantly available to you.

              They’re more like a private storage server. You can’t see what movies they have. Technically you can only download what you ‘add’ there, but they cache everybody else’s downloads too, so your download is readily available. I’m not sure of all technicalities, but there are a few different debrid services, so there must be some way they are able to do this.

                Oh wow that’s a pretty interesting approach to streaming. Thanks for the explanation 👍🏼

                  You’re welcome! I only learned about it a few months ago. Along with plex-debrid and trakt, my jellyfin experience is a lot more awesome now.
