I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

    There are two schools of thought, and one of them is insanely wrong.

    The current preferred method (by youngins) for pirating is by using a VPN provider to “hide” your torrent traffic, which is generally valid, but it’s not a silver bullet and it’s a wrong way to think.

    The other is to use a seedbox, which is a remote server hosted in a country that doesn’t recognize piracy as a crime to begin with…

    The choice is clear. Especially when you consider to get a good private VPN you’ll have to pay $5-10/mo. You may as well pay $5-10/mo to commit a crime where no one thinks its a crime, then you never have to worry about it. Using a VPN you can still get caught, it’s just exceptionally rare because conditions have to line up perfectly. But what if your VPN is down, and you accidentally begin a download? You willing to get a $100,000 fine for that?

    Just use a damn seedbox.

    I don’t really understand why everyone’s telling you about torrents when you don’t need them to watch movies. Like, it’s nice if you want Blu Ray quality or have bad internet or something, but you don’t need to download stuff unless you really want to. I just use uBlock Origin with Firefox and one of a few streaming sites. You can find a list here: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/movies-and-tv/ (Scroll down to streaming and try one out.) It works on mobile, too.

    Sometimes you’ll have to check multiple sites to find older, more obscure things, but for the most part they only really differ in their UI. Some anime sites even have options to skip the intro/outro and autoplay the next episode.

    No one, in this entire thread, has thought of telling OP to sort by seeders. Are you all stupid? That’s the most important thing

    VPN to a nice safe country like Switzerland.

    Look into selfhosting the Servarr stack along side QBitTorrent, pick a media player such as Plex or Jellyfin. Easy free streaming.
