            I didn’t know for months either until I was trying to help someone find an elusive pdf only available there. Were close to just making a scribd trial when I thought to try.

            Haven’t tried recently but it likely still works.

            Edit: still does!

      Even after RD’s massive anti-piracy swing?

      I tried put.io and Torbox but they throw errors even when I can see they downloaded the torrent

        Never had any issues. It works perfectly when I use it with 1337x and TBP.

        Dont know why they’re beefing with those trackers specifically, but it doesn’t affect Stremio’s operations one bit. I can still stream any movie or show I want instantly to my TV.

        Alas, you can always use a different Debrid service. I simply prefer R-D because it’s the most popular, which means that tends to have more content available for instant stream rather than having to wait for seeds. Almost every torrent I want has already been cached by another user for instant download.

            Yes I understand that. I never said that they were the same. You don’t need R-D to use Stremio, but it’s a much smoother experience if you do, cause you can stream instantly without waiting for seeds.

            The point I’m making is that any drama involving R-D beefing with trackers doesn’t affect the amount of content available on Stremio. Other trackers exist to fill in the gaps. That’s all I’m saying.

          French gov recently went after them and they made a big thing about not hosting copyrighted content, but as far as I can tell nothing’s changed.

            Their entire reason to exist is to host copyrighted content. They’re just telling the French what they want to hear to get them off of their asses.

    All you did with this post was show everyone you’re an idiot, and you not realising that before posting just increases the level of stupidity. And we’re on lemmy, a place where almost everyone is more tech literate than most and generally less dumb too, yet here you are. It’s a miracle how you managed to get here and figure out instances etc.

    Hmm, pay $20 a month apiece for 20 different shitty streaming services that use ads, or $6/month for Usenet access and $1/month for indexer access, and get every movie and TV show for nothing extra…

    Choices, choices.

      What’s the easiest/best way to start with UseNet? I’ve wanted to give it a try for the longest time - but it just feels like such a daunting task to try and figure out…

        It’s not complicated. The Usenet provider gives you access to Usenet, and the indexer lets you search it for whatever you want. You then download it with a Usenet client. You can do it manually, much the same way as you download a torrent from any site. if you’ve downloaded a torrent before, you would be able to manage Usenet with no issues at all.

        Or, if you’re willing to spend a few hours setting up the Servarr apps on an old computer like I did, you can automate the whole thing. I recommend this option, because you do it once and then you have a seamless way to fetch files from torrent and Usenet both without ever doing anything more than typing in the name of the show/movie. The Servarr apps search for, download, and import media into my library so that I can stream them to all my devices using Jellyfin (or Plex, if you like corpo apps). They even fetch proper subtitles for everything, and I also have it set up so after I’ve watched an episode, it’s deleted to make room for something else. It’s as easy as Netflix, at a fraction of the cost.

        What are you talking about? If course I got the BIOS from my PS2 using a flash drive. Of course I manually backed up physical games I own. I would never illegally download.

          I bought a Chinese made emulation device for $60 and it came with all the games and firmwares I would ever want or need. It was then I knew China is the shit.

    I have Netflix, Prime & Hulu. I’m ready to drop all 3 but my wife enjoys some of their trash. I’m tolerating it, for now.

    Yes, remember it is totally immoral to pirate things from corporations who actively make everything worse for everyone.

    Here’s a guide to what sites you should avoid so you don’t accidentally get movies, shows, books, music, etc. without paying FMHY.net

        I’m a bit old school with things like this.
        I’d much rather avoid downloading a 4k rip and watching it offline.
        But I’ll be sure to avoid these sites, too, if I’m ever in the mood to watch something when I’m away from my ‘linux iso storage and acquisition’ machine.
