Nah fuck all that. Just get Stremio + Torrentio and pair it with Real-Debrid. No fucking around with downloading torrents and building a library. Just pick what you want to watch, and watch it. Works like any other streaming platform, except everything’s in one place.
The problem with Stremio is that it relies on torrents, but only caches the content you’re watching. Essentially, it puts you into a permanent leecher mode, and rarely contributes any meaningful seeding because the content is deleted shortly after you’re done watching it.
Stremio users are the libertarians of the piracy world. They’re staunchly independent, but also completely reliant on the infrastructure that seeders have set up and maintain. They want all of their content available conveniently, without actually putting in any of the “pay it forward” work that piracy relies on to stay healthy.
Essentially, if everyone used Stremio, nobody would be able to use Stremio. Stremio is only possible because of the people who actually seed.
Problem with that is, what happens when Stremio gets shut down like every other illegal streaming platform to date? What happens when they no longer want to host the stuff I like?
I like having the files locally, so that when streaming platforms die, og just decide not to waste server space on the stuff I like, I can still watch the shows and movies that are no longer avaliable anywhere.
I won’t really fight anyone suggesting “Yarr-harr” approaches, but if you’re just looking for something to watch and legality becomes a hurdle as you describe: Libraries offer a huge backlog of stuff (watched some old Disney stuff I’d targeted, without sending the mouse money) as well as some digital services. It should be pretty easy to rip the DVDs they have on offer too.
Also (and this is a genuine question): Why would I care? They don’t earn anything from me. Does their political affiliation matter when it comes to sourcing copyrighted material?
Now is a great time to look into VPNs, 1337x, and qBittorrent. And of course Jellyfin.
or stremio + Torrentio + Real debrid, this is an easier method for those used to streaming without space on their pc
or just get a decent adblocker and stream it.
Been having luck with ext.to as well
I just found something that wasn’t on 1337x, so thank you. :)

Hear, hear. If you leech without seeding you are essentially killing the torrent.

That’s true, this one updates regularly if one streaming site goes down:
https://www.bestfreestreaming.org/
Stremio has nothing to do with it, it’s just the frontend.
but you’d be right to make the same comment about real-debrid so ultimately your point is a good one
You can also download them and keep them if you prefer, just keep a VPN going
This doesn’t last though
Sure, nothing lasts forever, but Real Debrid has been around for about 15 years at this point.
I prefer torrentleech and milkie. Both are regularly open for new registrations.
Stremio+Alldebrid
I just got into Kodi/umbrella/deribit
Ruski streaming site + adblocker works well for me lately
1337x is run by nazis.
Source?

They leave up pro-nazi comments and delete the ones calling them out.
Some folks don’t wanna experience hate speech in comments and usernames and shit just to get at torrents.
Hm ok. I never look at comments or usernames.
I like to check comments in case a comment warns me of a bad quality rip or something
