The one I was using (fmovies) seems to have shut down, and all the ones that I have tried since seem to be down half the time. They’ll go down right in the middle of my movie, and then won’t be back up for at least another day. It takes me like 3 days to watch a movie.

Kanopy has a ton of great stuff and is free if you have a library card and your library participates
omg I always forget about Kanopy, thanks for reminding me. Yeah, Kanopy often comes through for me, great site, especially for more obscure things and documentaries
Yeah it’s great I use it all the time - my partner and I just watched Mulholland Drive on it last night. Only trick is to know how to find the good stuff, cause there’s tons of garbage to sift through
So, somebody on hexbear mentioned Stremio late last year/early this year.
(VPN, VPN, VPN, or whatever you do to anonymize your traffic. If your VPN is an app that has kill switches, turn them on for your torrent streamer or torrent client)
Its … interesting. Its an app that functions like a streaming service but uses torrents. So you download and install Stremio, download whatever addons you want. Find and figure out how to install some addons that aren’t listed in the Stremio app’s Addons section (which I don’t remember what I did, but I do remember it being way simpler than I was thinking). Then you’re pretty much off to the races. Search for something you want to watch or browse a generic list of “what’s hot”, click on it, select a torrent from a list that is organized by Quality and number of seeders and click the play icon. If its something popular, there’ll be a bunch of seeders and it won’t take long to buffer enough to start playing or just hit the pause button (when its available) and go do some other stuff while it buffers/downloads. Doesn’t seem to permanently save anything to your hard drive outside of temp files so when your computer turns off its gone and you don’t have to worry about filling up a hardrive in a month long binge.
Things that have only a few seeders may take a while and it would be easier to torrent them.
Torrenting isn’t too hard, i figured out how to use the Transmission client. Its a pretty bare bones thing. Go to a torrent site, search for what you want, check the seeders and other qualities of the download, copy the “Magnet” link, in the Transmission app click on the File -> Open URL -> paste the Magnet link into the Source: text box (itll be a long string of characters), set the download location, there’s some checkboxes that I don’t mess with, and click Open. It’ll take a bit to find the seeders and start downloading (sometimes days if its something really niche). Once its done, you can watch the thing and/or keep the client open to start seeding it back.
I fucking love Transmission. It is bare bones but only does what I need. Seed limits, download directory location and like a few other things. But I’m a pretty simple man when it comes to my pirating.
Good recommendations at https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide
fboxz.to is the same experience as fmovies if that is what you are looking for
Have you considered torrents?
yeah idk it seems complicated. I don’t know if it actually is, but I’m just not really knowledgeable about the whole thing. I tried to torrent something back in the day and it just didn’t really work? Idk. Something I want to figure out, but I’m just trying to figure out a quick way to watch a movie rn.
https://www.qbittorrent.org/ qBittorent is a good client, absolutely stay away from utorrent. It’s possible to search a list of sites for torrents with this plugin I think, it’s been a while since I installed it. The more ‘seeders’ an item has the more people who have the torrent have it available to be downloaded. A lot of piracy sites will also offer direct magnet links which just opens it in your torrent client to download. The primary concerns after that have to do with copyright if you don’t have a vpn, however in my experience if you refrain from recent mainstream uploads there’s almost nothing to worry about.
I also used fmovies frequently, rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv is from dbzer0’s piracy comm and is what I use when I need an alternative.
thank you!
I can also send you an invite to a private tracker I’ve used for decades at this point if you want a slightly better experience. Just DM a non-personally-identifiable email address and I’ll invite you!
I don’t even know what a private tracker is
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
Torrents are really the way to go.
i feel this so hard, i feel like i go through half the piracy megathread before i find a place with the title i want, and then its a crapshoot whether it will run the fucking thing
I use cuevana but its a latam site so most stuff is in spanish or with subs
lookmovie2.to is what I recommend to all of my friends. It’s got all the moves and all the TV
I get a notice saying a court order has required my ISP to block access to that site…that’s how good it is.
the copyright regime seal of quality
maybe try one of these other URLs, but they probably won’t work either:
long list of urls
https://lookmovie2.to https://lookmovie.ag https://lookmovie.site https://lookmovie2.la https://lookmovie.buzz https://lookmovie.digital https://lookmovie.clinic https://lookmovie.download https://lookmovie.foundation https://lookmovie.fun https://lookmovie.fyi https://lookmovie.guru https://lookmovie.media https://lookmovie.mobi https://lookmovie.download
Kisskh is good, but it’s mainly for Asian television. It has most of the big western titles, however.
Also, cloudstream is a good option for your android phone or tablet.
sudo-flix
Movieboxpro.app
I recently found vidbinge dot com which seems to be some kind of streaming torrent frontend
