I still buy DVD and BluRay's for some reason... Pirate only when I get lazy.
Torrenting will have everything you want within 48hrs (at the longest) as long as your tastes are relatively current and mainstream. If you are into older or more niche content you'll still likely need Criterion or Canopy etc.
I'm into older content but I've never done any torenting. If I were to start would it by harder for me because of the time of content i search, or would it be like any torrenting?
I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing ("seeding") the files.
ok. Thank you for the explanation. Honestly, I'm don't know what I'm saying myself. Like I said, I've never done torrenting but I'm curious to try.
It's not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.
thanks I may try it.
If I'm just trying to watch something right then and there, I'll usually use my IPTV subscription or a streaming site, but if I plan on watching later, I'll download a nice high quality torrent
There’s no need for torrenting with services like Stremio (with Real-Debrid).
Theres no need for stremio if you torrent (remotely) and host jellyfin at home. Only a power outage can take me out.
There is if you intend to keep torrents alive.
I haven't heard that before, so I had to search a bit. This poster says Stremio uploads, but theres no docs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/182cb7f/does_stremio_upload/
Stremio uploads/seeds just when you're watching the movie, and usually with a very small cache. On a 20gb movie maybe you seed 200-300mb, which isn't anything substantial
Real Debrid doesn't seed anything. Stremio just has other addons that can seed torrents, but they're not Real Debrid or one of the other debrid services
Does anyone have a one click piracy stack setup with all the *arrs that takes mullvad yet? Someone should make that happen.
Maybe a nix config? Docker?
Mines all in a docker conpose:
*arrs
sabnzbd and/or a seedbox + resilio/syncthing/ftp(s)
Jellyfin
a reverse proxy of your choice (mines traefik)
for DNS I utilize pihole and it's CNAME feature.
Mullvad removed port forwarding so it's not the way to go for torrenting anymore.
Works fine enoughfor me.
What am I missing? Got a better suggestion?
Without port forwarding you're limited on connections and can only connect to those who do have it enabled.
When they dropped support, I switched to AirVPN and have been satisfied. Prices are about the same I believe. Mullvad was great and even refunded me my remaining time after the switch. I'd totally use them again if I didn't need port forwarding or if they brought the feature back.
I used a compose file from reddit and made a couple of adjustments, it was pretty quick and works great. I dont have a VPN though.
I used to use the arr applications and use Usenet but as time went on I needed more and more space. I pay a guy once every six months to get access to a Plex library that has everything you can think of. I even have the ability to request things if they aren't there.
Depends on your hardware.
Streaming is more accessible, but you’re stuck at 720p usually.
If you can afford a vpn and the storage then torrenting gets you better quality.
Don’t forget to seed
@Coasting0942 @itsgroundhogdayagain what vpn provider would you recommend?
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/
They have three recommended as of now. Only proton is listed as supporting port forwarding, which you need to be a seeder for the torrent swarm. Without port forwarding you’re stuck as a leecher
I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).
For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.
Agreed I do pretty much the same.
The newer AV1 codec has me very interested in HQ streaming. You need a monster machine to make the file, but then it’s 2GB for a high quality 1080p movie.
I find 4k streaming to be absolutely good enough for general tv streaming. It's a bit better on some services than others. Amazon and Netflix do it the best, but it's generally pretty good on all of the,.
