As the title suggests, do you guys have any recommended websites to get movies safely?
My secret is to have an ISP that is fine with piracy lmao.
I get all my movies from yts.mx though and haven’t had issues. I also used rarbg but rip they’re dead now.
oh nice. I’m guessing not the same team, but same spirit? like how the original yts are gone?
Sry can’t remember. too many new reddits for me to keep track
There is also https://github.com/Not-Quite-RARBG/main
interesting, but their website seems to be down
Grab yourself a VPN and always use that while you’re sailing the high seas. For movies I just use the search function in qBittorrent.
I’ve been using qBittorrent for a few years but never used the search function because uTorrent’s never showed the right results for me. I will give it another try next time
Worth giving it a try! I used to just try and search for magnet links or torrent downloads on websites like rarbg but using the search function has really streamlined the process for me.
a vpn is probably not great, a cheap VPS in linode (because it has one click wireguard vpses) is probably better and wont get caught on captchas / anti spam filters
Captchas aside, with a VPN your traffic is mixed with others, making it much harder to trace back to you (assuming the VPN provider has a no-log policy and can be trusted). With Linode, isn’t that not the case since you’re setting up a VPS for just yourself, and therefore a greater risk?
yeah but for piracy it is adequate. for illegal shit you should 1. not be using your own net, 2. using anything but TOR or the other one
Would you mind telling me more about this? I use a VPN and it’s annoying having to turn it off for Etsy or whatever. Would this stop that?
A VPN aggregates many users’ traffic under one ip, like what your home router does for all your devices. This is irritating, because other users doing shady stuff gets the ip flagged and then you get captchas and can’t log into etsy and you bank and all that. A vps gets its own ip, so if you tunnel your traffic through it, you’re not sharing the ip. So the ip doesn’t get blacklisted and those hassles disappear. But it’s also not as anonymous, because your traffic isn’t bundled with any other traffic. VPS providers generally require some information, or at least payment, which can tie your identity to the ip. Then there are logs. You can log to null, if you set it up right, but the vps provider probably also keeps logs, so that’s a negative compared with a VPN.
You’re also more likely to be limited on traffic or pay-per-traffic on VPSs though.
And if not, they might blacklist you for heavy usage anyway.
i think level1techs on yt covered it. it is basically a rented computer you can have for yourself. more importantly the traffic that goes through it is only your own so no captchas
Use something like vopono that lets you run just certain applications in the VPN - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono
Some VPN clients have this built in too.
I see! Thanks for the answer (@0@)/
Got a recommended VPN?
ProtonVPN or MullvadVPN is fine
I like Mullvad. They were recently subject to a search warrant and customer data was not compromised due to their no-logging policy.
You could also take a look at TorrentFreak’s list. They don’t recommend services, but instead ask them a series of questions to understand how seriously they take privacy and what policies and safeguards they have in place.
Mullvad has been great for me. I did a lot of research when I picked them but stuff could have changed since then. Don’t use any that advertise (nord, etc)
They changed in that mullvad no longer offers port forwards. Big bummer.
Very beginner in a way and also outdated in some aspects: https://github.com/Shakil-Shahadat/awesome-piracy
VPN is probably an OK idea depending on where you live. IP Blocklists or host blocklists too. I do a lot of downloading. Have been since the 90s. The only time I ever had any issue was when a friend used their computer at my house and downloaded a Massive Attack album. The only thing about their config that was different from mine was the blocklists.
have not uses it for Movies. However I would suggest checking out Hatt (its like Jackett except for direct downloads). I’ll update with the link in a bit. Just search “Hatt github”

Sweet hadn’t heard of this before. Do you know of a docker implementation?
No sadly. Although the code is pretty readable. I dont think it would take much to containerize it.
I use real-debrid these days (cached torrents on their server from what I understand). Few bucks a month but maxes out a Gigabit line and no need to pay for a VPN. Can set it up with Kodi/Stremio to have instantly streamable media, even on iOS.
I use stremio with a plug-in called torrentio. It streams torrents. More or less a yohoho netflix. Mullvad vpn

I use recloudstream github link
