LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

I haven't used Torrents in years, since subscribing to Netflix. But I'm fed up with needing to pay 5+ different subscriptions to get coverage across shows, so perhaps time to think about other options. What are some of the best torrent sites today,?

I use OnTheSpot downloader to grab albums from spotify at 320kbps - https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot

Use Soulseek (nicotine+) to grab more obscure stuff. Can get everything on there, just sometimes slower and not as reliable as a torrent.

I use these sites for movies, in order of convenience:

https://ytssss.jamsbase.com/ (basically just YTS)

https://www.magnetdl.com/ (search sucks, but if you get used to it, it has huge libraries of TV series)

https://en.torrentgalaxy-official.site/

https://rargb.to/

https://1337x.to/home/

https://psa.wf/ (PSA RIPS)

I don't really download apps anymore, so malware really isn't an issue, but make sure you're using UBlockOrigin plugin and a VPN like TorGuard

oh god, the difference between some of my old rips at 128 and 320 is damn near night and day. i though the song just sucked, but the quality was just shit. also found a track that got corrupt, but still played, but at 1/10th the speed, it was about 30 minutes long, but normally only 3 lol. just stretched the fuck out of it.
