If you wanna go really casual, there's sites like https://movie-web.app which will let you stream most movies in decent quality.

What I learnt the other day from this community.
This. You'd be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.
The quality is terrible, though. All of these sites rely on the same bitrate starved YTS rips. It's why torrenting remains popular for people who care about presentation, because you have so many more options than just the absolute bare minimum.
And how ass the buffering can be at times too. I've switched to stremio for the family, and torrent movies I want to see offline.
This is stupidly easy, says someone who likes to watch quick and easy stuff with Stremio and Torrential.
I'm wowed.
I use torrents-csv https://torrents-csv.ml/ and find the movie I want and download it. I'm like you, I hardly watch movies, this is the most seamless way for me to do it.
Nice
Would recommend Stremio with Torrentio plug-in, works great on Google TV
Once set up, it's the laziest way to watch something. Torrentio does have an issue finding torrents for specials and other extra video content.
With realdebrid it's even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.
How does one find stuff on usenet?
I've got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don't have an API. I've automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.
yts . mx
everything is organised great
no cam bullshit, everything is bluray or webrip
i think movies there are a bit compressed, but personally i dont even notice it
a better alternative for new movies is psa. wf
their quality is exceptional with small size.
- I love yts because of the small sizes. I don't care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.
Fair enough if you have no standards but don't pretend it's a choice between YTS and remuxes with nothing in-between. There is a very noticeable increase in quality just going from YTS to anything slightly larger.
Oh, no. I'm not ignoring the other options, just wanted to make a clear example, as bad as it was haha. I just like small sizes since quality isn't the highest priority of mine, just like how I love FLACs and cannot deal with 320mp3.

I use torrent galaxy, that seems to work pretty well.
Qbittorent to get the thing you want. Recommended to get a VPN while doing so.
Dump the file into a flash drive and plug into a TV. Or setup a shared network drive. Or set up a Plex server with a basic Music/TV/Movie folder structure , have Plex scan it, and stream like your other streaming apps.
Once I have downloaded it I can play it in VLC on my computer and choose the cromecast as the renderer which works great, the only thing not working are the subtitles.
This thread is great.
This thread has been the first time I've been downvoted for a good faith comment I made lol
In my country torrent sites are blocked, so I use a search plugin for qBittorrent to find Linux ISOs. I don't quite remember which one I use or how I installed, but it was quite simple. Google is your friend.
Why in the ass would you need a plugin for downloading Linus ISOs which are free and non-illegal

I have a Chromecast 4k with Google TV which is android. So theoretically I might be able to install it. But I don't need it very often. And to be honest on the 4k TV if possible I'd rather watch in 4k if possible. And it seems that with torrents often you can find a 4k version.

If you don't need to download it, there's himovies.sx. There used to be option to download, but maybe they had some issues with that.
Na, I'd rather watch it on the TV so I guess the easiest option is to download it.
OK, I checked it for you. In Firefox you can open inspector and then head to Network tab and there get the .m3u8 playlist URL. I'd recommend to check in VLC if it works. If playing it in VLC is all you need, good.
Another option is to download it using youtube-dl. I tried it and it started the download, so that will probably work too.
Ah nice, didn't realize yt-dlp would also work on other websites. But now I'm only 8 minutes away from the 4k version so I'll use that one this time.

I think the mega thread is a good place to start, but have checked out x1337 for movies
Actually I was trying to search for something in the archive but the search is quite bad it seems. Also I don't see a mega thread.
It's literally in the pic, on the right, under the wiki (under the cartoon of the pirate)
Ah thanks, somehow I thought it'd be a pinned post.
It is a pinned post, it probably just didn't get federated to your instance.
try not to use new in the sorting, activ works for me, but this would be the direct link https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/62225
