fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added “FBI” up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don’t understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

Losing fmovies wasn’t the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It’s the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can’t handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.

Dude, there is the golden age I’ve waited 20yrs for.

Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you’re set. Never worry again.

Generally I agree. But I’d be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.

Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)

Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.

Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.

I’d never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an “easy to get started” guide for him?

I’d recommend TraSH-Guides

There also is the Servarr Wiki

I would pay legit services. But to see it all i would need multiple services with multiple apps, half of which wouldn’t run on my rooted devices. So fuck them.

Sadly no. Not that i know. But once it’s setup it basically runs forever without tinkering. Impressive for open-source. Could name the software and/or services that are helpful.
