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.

    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.

        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.”

      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)

          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.

      • I love yts because of the small sizes. I don’t care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.

        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.

          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…)

            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.

      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

        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.
