I prefer much more to pay for Real Debrid even when their servers are not as perfect as Netflix or alike, they are cheaper and have all the content that you'd normally want to see.
I pay for a seed box that is powerful enough to run a Plex server and comes with 8TB of storage for a little more than a Netflix subscription. I'll stick with that.
I am still using ed2k/kad network, never stopped in nearly 20 years!
This is why i pay for spotify, because it's so much easier than downloading and hosting music. The music industry got it right. Sign up with any music service and you'll get likely the same or very similar music libraries. But with TV and movies, there's all this fucking exclusive shit. They can eat shit if they think I'm gonna pay more for streaming than fucking cable/pay TV. Fuck that shit.
I never stopped 😂.
But in all seriousness I'm still languishing on janky old school public trackers too, commenting here to help me remember to read through these suggestions at a later date.
I'm using Qbittorrent and LimeTorrents.
If I actually cared about watching stuff, I probably would be to. Right now all of my entertainment is YouTube/Twitch with AdBlock, so kind of pirating? Maybe when I actually bring a girl home I'll pirate something to watch if I can't just steal my parents Netflix login still lol. I have zero intentions of ever subscribing to streaming services.
I was mainly torrenting before Netflix but ever since NF has gone to hell I've been on the lookout for a more family-friendly way to stream. After trying out a few options (Kodi, fmovies, Stremio etc) I've found that nothing beats the Stremio+Torrentio+Real Debrid method. You do have to pay subscription for Real Debrid but it's really cheap and not compulsory.
That's what I just setup a few days ago following another thread on here and can confirm, it's so simple and works really well.
I also started using Trakt along with it and adding user lists on stremio to fill up the feed.
Now my only problems are handling language (we watch stuff in original version but would like French versions for the kid). I set up torrentio for it but seems a bit hit or miss.
The other part I still need to figure out is when there's no streams found for more obscure stuff, I read I can fetch magnet links myself and put them in real DB but haven't tried it yet, not sure where best to go get these links and also don't understand if it's then going to work like normal for shows (like do I just search the titles again in stremio after putting the link in real DB and can I just do it for s01ep01 and then it'll autoplay the next episodes as normal?).
