With some clients and addons + debrid, you can set up a Netflix/HBO clone, with no downloads necessary and instant streaming. You just browse the shows (it automatically downloads info and images form Trakt, TVDB, etc.), select play and it plays just like any streaming site.
Depending on the jurisdiction it's also legal to stream video, while downloading or torrenting is not.
That sounds nice! Wonder if that will continue to work with netflixs new restrictions on account sharing, how are they accomplishing such a task?
It looks and smells like a free lunch but I’m just not convinced that it’s safer. This is a big claim for them to be making that it’s somehow legal for them to be streaming Netflix and hbo shows to people who do not have an account and haven’t paid for those services
