And before you say i have read the megathread atleast as much as i can because it feels too buzzwordy for me and i think it is more suitable with people with a little more experience than for litteral noobs also i want to leaen how to in android and not a pc and the megathread leans heavily into pc .
To be clear i am not asking you to hold my hand through everything you can link things as answers these are the question i have tried to look up and haven’t found answers to yet. If there are no answers for my weird questions you can flat out say it or if my post is not in the correct /c/ i’ll be more than happy to remove it. I I used to use telegram which was easy but i did’nt appreciate the telegram owners ethics and the people there are toxic. And then i tried paying and bolted after the date of my payment ran out as the experience was NOT ideal.
Is there any app that can replace telegram where you can just find files and install it ? I am asking about movies and series and is not interested in anything else.
I have tried downloading from streaming sites and you know like bflix but that sucks am i doing it wrong ?
Can i use browser for doenloading or is another client needed ? I can download as much tool as you’d recommend as long as it is from fdroid main repo don’t suggest anything else i just can’t (i know that seems lazy but it is the truth). Also if i am not concerned about ISP should i still use vpn like does it go in my permanent internet record that i torrented a movie or something lol ? I know everything on internet does but is a torrenting record that bad ?
EDIT 1: > Also i want small file forsize movies and series meaning 800mb is alright for a 1hr and 45 minute movie . Like is there any websites that supoly 720p hevc 10 bit kinda formats ?
EDIT 2: Also if you can explain or link some source on how to use the software u suggest that would be helpful.
EDIT 3 : I use fennec with ublock is that goid enough some one suggested it was and if it is that will save me hella lot of trouble.
Will add questions as i remember. Currently i am reading some articles which kinda don’t help me at all . Also i know there is an issue about discussing these things on the /c/ so if you want you can dm me the answers. I don’t know why i didn’t get into this sooner but please remember to be kind to the noob as all of you once were noobs.
Edit : Sorry for the spelling and grammer english is my second lang.
EDIT : Even though i may not have replied to each and every suggestion i do appreciate them and will try out one by one thanks to everyone who bothered to help.
Your first download should be a guide on punctuation my brother.
For watching movies and shows there is nothing simpler than Stremio with the Torrentio addon.
For other files I don’t like the BitTorrent protocol for sharing because it complicates file sharing, requiring files to remain in their original locations without renaming when creating a torrent. I prefer Nicotine+ and Fopnu as they allow me to easily select folders for sharing without any complications. These are the only programs I know of that are compatible with Windows and Linux and are actively developed. They are newbie friendly because searching for files inside the program is straightforward. I’ve also used eMule, Gnutella, DC++, Shareaza, MLDonkey but I don’t recommend them. Although eMule has good availability for old/rare content.
Is this relevant for executables only or also movies, TV series, game ISOs, books, audiobooks, etc?
I would say a torrent client is all you need, maybe a VPN depending on where you are from. I don’t torrent from my mobile but I do know libtorrent is available on f droid repo. Bookmark some of the trusted sites in the mega thread and once you click on the magnet link or the torrent file of what you wanna download, it should open libtorrent and asks for where to save and stuff. That’s about it. I know qbittorrent has search plugins so you can find and download within the torrent client but not sure if it’s available on lib. Good luck and always stick to safe sources and be updated on if they are still trusted and don’t cause any issues.
Almost all I do is torrent from mobile.
I use windscribe vpn and enable the setting to block all data not going though it, so there can’t be an accidental leak, and I use the apk Flood to manage my torrents, as it has a lot of nice options and allows me to download files to any folder I’d like.
I use Seal, yt-dlp android front-end, on my phone to download videos from streamming sites.
For torrenting, Deluge on my computer and libtorrent on my android. I mainly use torrent for anime so I download a .torrent file from nyaa and open it with Deluge. Done.
Is libtorrent still good ? Like should’nt internet connecting software be updated atleast annually for security reasons ? Still thanks .
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn’t worry about it.
That is right i guess tho i was concerned because it is used to download files from a shady part of internet
Get a PC.
Cool but no . I don’t really miss my pc (which i had for a short amount of time) as i can do everything i want on my phone. And i am saving up for a system 76 or thinkpad
