I have been pirating games for about a year now, and with the recent Netflix changes want to get into pirating TV and Movies as well. I have Kodi on my fire sticks, but streaming links are so unreliable.

I see on the Mega Thread there are plenty of sites to direct download shows and movies from, what sites from the mega thread do you all prefer?

Also, I get that I download them to my computer, but what service do you all use to get them on your TV? I have fire sticks on every TV, I think Plex is a free one that people used to use (and may still) but I don’t really know how any of it works. Would love some experienced advice.

    I have an Arr setup with Plex and it’s great. Basically I add a TV series or movie to Sonarr/Radarr, they will then use Prowlarr to find torrent, then it will get sent to my torrent client, and then Plex will eventually show the content. It’s one of my favorite things that I have setup.

      I started pirating 30 years ago, sharing floppies. Since then I’ve gone through every method imaginable, from IRC to eMule, from Mega to Usenet, and the Arr setup is the very first time I can delegate downloads to another family member sitting on the couch: that’s how smooth it is.

      The only difference to your setup is that I use Jackett instead of Prowlarr, configure NZBGeek directly on Sonarr/Radarr, and use Kodi instead of Plex.

      Ah, and nzb360 (or LunaSea) on people’s phones. That’s what makes it so any normie can use it. So long, streaming service salad!

      I have never found a good guide to set up Sonarr/Radarr that simplifies it enough for me to do it. I’ve had a plex server running on an ASUSTOR NAS for years but I’m afraid of causing havoc with it if I try to install those. Do you know a good guide?
