Normally I don’t have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.
Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it’s offline.
So my question is, how to get a movie like “Sing 2” in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.
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.
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.
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
Oftentimes anything copyrighted like warez, music and movies are called ‘linux isos’ to hide the fact that you are doing something shady.
Like: “I got a NAS with 20TB of Linux Isos to enjoy.”
Oh. Okay good to know. But wouldn’t it be redundant to use something like this here in a piracy sub
Sure. Buts its also an inside joke.
Make sure to use a vpn when your country cares about this stuff. Its not fun to pay 800€ for one episode of the fucking walking dead. (Germany)
So, how so you so it without Torrent then, in Germany? Usenet only?
Use a VPN. Also I am only using private trackers which minimizes the risk drastically. But Usenet is also fine. When I still tried to get German content oftentimes you will find OneClickHosters though, but I only get english content nowadays, so the scene could habe changed.
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
- 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.
can you recommend some of the websites that have those slightly larger versions? I would prefer if they are well organised like yts (multiple qualities/versions on the same page, cover pictures, ratings, good search…)
1337x and TorrentGalaxy are generally pretty decent. Compare bitrates for audio and video and take note of the names of the release group. You’ll start to develop a mental list of names to look for. In terms of films, I’d recommend looking for Tigole releases on 1337x as a starting point.
The video is ok for the size, but the audio is terrible.
The audio is why I can’t stand YTS, too. It’s so compressed it feels like it messes up the sound mixing. I can’t hear dialogue in quiet scenes then my speakers blow out in loud scenes.
Doesn’t 1337x.to work for you instead of tpb?
I still use 1337x.to for most things but i had some problems lately where the site freezes and all buttons redirect to some “tinder” add or so. Is this normal now or something in my browser config
I think it’s the ad overlay, when I click the search button an ad opens in another tab and I have to go back to re click the button. Sometimes 2-3 times before I’m allowed to click.
It’s annoying but 3 clicks for a movie is obviously cheap.
Ok thanks, then I know that it’s normal and some thing on my pc or browser.
Doesn‘t happen for me with firefox+ublock. Maxbe try that?
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.
