I'm trying to figure out how to pirate movies and TV shows. There are some apps on my FireTV that work fine for pirating movies and TV shows but they don't have everything I want to watch. As far as I know if you want the widest range of access to pirated content you need to use a computer. So if anyone could show me a guide about how to stream/download pirated movies and shows off your computer that would be greatly appreciated. I also need to know how to get a VPN and use it and I would really prefer to not pay for a VPN. Thanks
Also how tf do people use all those cool emojis in comments? I usually use Hexbear logged off but I want to know how to use the emojis
Been pirating for 15 years in the TV/movie arena, much longer if you count music and comics.
In terms of cost, you have to look at piracy & how you want to approach it. If it's going to replace every streaming service you have (which it can), then you'll ultimately save money by investing in a 4tb hard drive.
I got in on a sale for NORDVPN and it was 3 years for $75 I think, which is really great. I get really good speeds. As others have suggested, you may not need it for private trackers - but the downside is usually the good private trackers are invite only & they'll ask for evidence that you're a good seeder.
I've used qBittorrent and it's done well for me.
I go the extra mile and use PeerBlock when using VPN, probably unnecessary but it gives me peace of mind. It blocks known bad IPs.
I've got two 4TB hard drives and it's more than enough. Currently have 300 or so movies (I'll delete after watching if I know I'll never watch again) and 95/100 complete tv shows.
I use Plex, which as a beginner should be really easy to use. Running that on a PC & you can stream it straight to a plex app on roku/firestick/whatever you use.
That's basically the setup I've used for a long time and I really like it.
If you use Plex be sure to rename the video file to Title (Year). So instead of Parasite.bluray.x264-torrentgroup it'll be Parasite (2019). Makes it easier for Plex to match.
Great advice! I do it automatically with movies. Luckily Plex does a good job with TV titles, but I do run it through an autonamer because I'm a nerd who likes formatting consistency.
Same thing with Kodi and Ember. It just makes it easier. I always put them in subfolders with the {Movie name (year)} format for both the folder and the file and little problems with automated matching.
