Use Tribler to avoid (or heavily limit) DMA notices

I still use UseNet. Almost as often as I use faxes.

I have Amazon prime, so I get access to Prime Video.

My family phone plan comes with a Free™ Netflix account per line.

As a student, my Spotify account gives me access to Hulu.

I can use all of these services at zero additional cost to myself and I still ~~steal~~ acquire it through different legal avenues. It takes an extra 2 minutes to make sure that I have it forever and that it'll be easily accessible.

Not to mention, no ads. Guaranteed

This, plus self hosting jellyfin and *arr and I basically have a better service, with no ads, nice UI, access from all my devices, offline access, 4K resolution, music streaming. Basically the all-inclusive premium plan, not exactly for free, but for a very reasonable cost.

I dump Blu-rays to my NAS with zero re-encoding. Even for older shows the quality is leaps and bounds superior to any streaming service with plenty of bandwidth.

Ooooo I only have Torrent, is Torrent+ better? I rarely use it anyway

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Your missing out big time, Torrent+ comes with a few extra files to play with your computer.

Torrent+ is not free, you need to download the cracked version on Limewire, and remember to turn off your AV before installing it also don't forget to enter your real name and address to bypass the registration box 😉

Is it a war or a cartel, though?

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

Its a war of cartels.

I use Stremio that plays and streams torrents using sequential downloading. It's like Popcorn time.
