For best results uss a browser or client thar supports HEVC and AV1.
There is jellyseerr for requests, its hooked to both usenet and various private trackers.
You can download a torrent for a full season or full series, and only download like the first three episodes, or the first season. And then if you like it, download more of the torrent.
Nobody is making you download all 8 seasons.
Or if you want to anyway, but don't want to wait for the whole thing to finish download, most torrent clients let you set priority for individual files, and you can set the first couple episodes to "maximum" and start watching right away while the rest download.
Put first episode on max priority + download sequentially. Go make a cup of tea. First episode is ready to stream. Do same to second episode before you start watching the first and Robert is your father's brother (Bob's your uncle).
After 20 years of pirating the slow way (manual searching and torrenting), I invested the time to setup a proper *arrr flow into Plex, Ombi for auto adding plex watchlist to the dl queue, and Usenet indexes and access + nzbget.
Now I can search for a movie in the plex app, if I don’t have it I add it to my watchlist, and it sends me a notification 5 mins later that it’s available.
I did all that about 6 years ago and it’s been so nice. Well worth the time to setup. I forgot how painful the manual way is.
You forgot the number one rule about the usenet: you don't talk about the usenet.
Sign up for some debrid service -> profit.
Yeah Debrid + Stremio and you're set.
what’s the advantage of debird vs just watching the torrentio links on streamio?
In addition to what @[email protected] said;
You don't need to worry about a VPN, and I find the connection much more stable and less prone to flakiness due to seeders being on shitty ISPs.
It isn't as robust as Usenet, or a Plex/Jellyfin server, but it's a lot more convenient in my experience.
This has been working for me for a whilst however if one of the links in the chain goes down at some point then you have nothing to watch. I might even have to talk to my family!
I’m gonna start considering local server. I remember the good old days of getting up in the middle of the night to check limewire.
I used to run a Plex server locally, with content provided by Usenet. It was by far the most stable/robust experience I've had, but I like being able to watch whatever I want on a whim.
I hate streaming anything unless it's coming from my server.
Bandwidth and storage is expensive, so free streams will usually be heavily compressed and look terrible.
