Sometimes I’m just too lazy for torrenting because downloading whole 8 seasons when I want to watch series is kinda off. Whenever I give chance to streaming it’s always low quality and sucks. I checked streaming links on reddit’s r/piracy, you know the wiki, year is 2025 and it’s still slow and sucks. Maybe I don’t know good sites. Can you link me up, and what do you think about streaming vs torrent way in general? Thanks guys.

After 20 years of pirating the slow way (manual searching and torrenting), I invested the time to setup a proper *arrr flow into Plex, Ombi for auto adding plex watchlist to the dl queue, and Usenet indexes and access + nzbget.

Now I can search for a movie in the plex app, if I don’t have it I add it to my watchlist, and it sends me a notification 5 mins later that it’s available.

I did all that about 6 years ago and it’s been so nice. Well worth the time to setup. I forgot how painful the manual way is.

This is the way.

A user in this community wrote a guide. If you need any help feel free to ask here or dm me - I set up the full stack on a home server and would love to help share the knowledge.

oh you mean how I pirate? download qbittorrent (best torrent client), get yourself some VPN if you are in 1st country (not a problem if you are in 3rd), go 1337x.to or rutracker.org (these are best I mainly use 1337x tho), search something find what you want to pirate, copy magnet link from there and paste to qbittorent add magnet link thing, it will downloaded.

They weren’t asking you. They replied to my comment about a proper setup
