which torrent sites are the best in 2025? i need to torrent movies and TV shows
>>
>>214897404
Sorry Agent Officer man, I cannot divulge that information
>>
>>214897404
I've been using jackett but not sure if I'd recommend, it works great but it probably has access to all my credit cards and porn history and shit, IDK how it really works.
>>
>>214897433
installing it as we speak and when windows warned me about the installer i hit "run anyway". how does it work?
>>
>>214897464
That warning is exactly what I was talking about. I think it's a "host service" or something. I trust the artists and GitHub is a Microsoft product so hopefully they wouldn't let viruses be on there. You have to go to the jackett website and add all the trackers now I think and somehow add it to qBittorrent. Sorry I don't remember the details

All torrents contain egregious errors. Torrents are a waste of time. Either archive it, or download it on the spot.

nigga i just want to watch movies for free

You know thanks to the ukraine/russia war sanctions russia isn't enforcing western copyright at all, and you can go to a russian search engine like yandex and type in "watch (movie name) free" and it will link you right up, right?

Otherwise just use ext for torrents

Ever hear of friends? If you were my friend we could watch movies because I already paid for them.

doesnt work when you want to watch every episode of Frasier in order

Yes it does. You didn't even try you lazy faggot.

Nta, but Yandex is the worst search engine of them all and manages to censor even MORE than Google.
Even googs lets me find stuff it swears it won't let me find.
>>
>>214898023
Hey all I know is I typed in watch Frasier episodes free and the second link had them all, I even watched one to make sure it worked.

Personally I use torrents 99% of the time but every now and then I used streaming sites for old westerns or other obscure stuff.

rutracker if you're fine with paying the bandwidth tax of downloading 10 different MVOs, seriously what's their deal with that?

What errors ? If my kinos have errors, they are not even noticeable.

Any how the main sites I use are
1. Torrentleech for Western kino
2. Avistaz for Eastern kino
3. Nyaa for anime kino

rutracker.org
nothing else even comes close
just use google translate, it has everything with eng dub and subs (just search "movie name + Sub"), 4k/blu rays and if theres an open matte/director's cut of a movie it's on there

I spot things before most people. Without exception, torrents are riddled with errors so that we buy the real deal.
You probably don't know that Hollywood itself plants torrents to undermine its own industry.

PassThePopcorn (PTP) for movies and BroadcastTheNet (BTN) for tv shows. You won't get in though.

1337x. If that doesn't have what you're looking for you have to use private trackers

that site is utter trash piracy is dead
>>
>>214897433
you run the server, and all the code is open-source. plus, all it does is fetch from torrent sites like a browser.
>>
public trackers were shit and dead last time I checked
try private ones
>>
where do the streaming sites keep their movies? they obviously share the source.
>>
i just use The Pirate Bay. i don't know if they've implemented a curation system, but any big public torrents will just be on there and they're fine.

or if i 100% know the name of a torrent, BTDigg. yeah it doesn't show seeders, but i can get Digital Cinema Packages. stop watching CAM rips. start downloading DCPs.
>>
>>214901173
you might be able to use ytl-dlp if you're trying to fetch the actual video. no guarantee that what they stream to you (or what you'll fetch) is that video, though.

back in the Flash Player days you could just find some .mp4 in the source code somewhere and oh, there's the original file, hosted on the web server. now it's all chunks and obfuscation and other sorcery ;_;
>>
>>214901316
that doesn't answer my question though. there's a lot of stuff on these sites nowadays and they've got to be from same source based on the source selectors. now where does it come from? is it some wild gdrive? an S3 outside of us jurisdiction?
>>
>>214901441
They have a megadrive in Tel Aviv
>>
>>214901441
you mean originally? fuck knows how 'the scene' works but i assume watchcoolfreemovies123 just grabs a torrent. probably even some shitty YIFY/YTS one. use a script to fetch them, grab the title and description from imdb, throw it on a page with a bunch of ads.
>>
>>214901517
You think they're just streaming torrents? I can buy that, but then my question loops back to series and even better, oldies. There's a lot of <1980 movies on these sites and as far as I can tell they're not that popular on public trackers, yet they work well. On the series side I can imagine they got part torrent working but I don't know. There's a giant hoard somewhere is what I'm getting at.
>>
>>214901583
Rich demented fucks upload the movies to entrap you.
>>
>>214901645
Huh? I'm not even schizoing here.
>>
>>214901583
i mean if you had a list of movies, you could reasonable write a script to just fetch 'movie title + year + YIFY' or whatever. they do tend to be weirdly well-seeded (even older flicks).

what i get LESS is when the actual rights-holders do this officially (same with music). how the fuck do a bunch of different companies just have these videos? putting together DVDs over time i can understand, but just suddenly having EVERY episode/film from 'the archives' up on a website, all at once?

on the music front, was great a few years ago when Deezer had an exploit. years and years of elitist private tracker frens meticulously ripping CDs, then one day you had access to every album ever in perfect FLAC, with correct tags, album art, etc.
>>
>>214902059
the actual rights-holder thing I can somewhat explain. I had a gig at a local radio where all I did was put old recording spools on the digital recorder and I put a lot of their archives into digital format and catalogued it on their server. sometimes I had to duct tape the tapes because they were so old and ripping, but that's besides the point. if a radio could make an effort like this, I'm sure tv and movie studios could as well.
>>
>>214901441
it's just giant servers in places like OVH in France or a Netherlands data center. the movie sites themselves are basically all linking to the same handful of servers with the files on them.
>>
>>214902291
right, and I would like access to that. this fits my theory better than the torrent streaming. somehow all these copycat sites are using the same source and I'd rather just download the movie.

i see. i suppose at some point in the future physical archives will go. we all have access to more music right now than a radio station had in its basement.

but even in terms of digital storage and transfer, video is huge. yeah bandwidth is cheaper than ever, but it's not like you can just go, "do you want access to the Warner Bros archive? OK, here's a link to the 200 zettabyte file"...right?
>>
>>214902427
netflix actually has a blog if you want to read up on it
>>
>>214902385
the source for the pirates is the Blu-rays. they'll even list it in the .nfo.
and i don't see why you dispute that random streaming sites are just downloading those same torrents. random grandmas don't care about bitrate, just that they're streaming a film for free.

my parents did have a bunch of weird apps on a smart TV stick, and they were explicitly streaming YTS rips. you could see the filenames when they played.

what are these sites you're talking about?
>>
>>214902385
you don't want those, they're dogshit bitrate.
if for whatever reason you can't torrent or can't get in the most basic private trackers, look for direct download/ftp sites.
ones that link to keep2share, filejoker, tezfiles etc.
>>
>>214902519
>the source for the pirates is the Blu-rays
you are so far out of your depth here
>>
>>214902519
>>214902523
I understand your concern but you don't understand my question.
brocoflix, 123movies, lookmovies. their catalogue is huge and I want to know their source.
>>
>>214902595
torrents/usenet/ftp servers, however they can get them.
the problem is when they deliver the file to you via streaming, it's cheaper to obliterate the quality and cover the page with ad spam so they make 30x what it costs to stream the video to you.
>>
>>214902651
well too bad for them I don't see the ads when I launch random seinfeld episode at 2am. are they that organised they can select sources like that or are you just making shit up? I've already noticed that if "Source 1" doesn't work on one site it doesn't on others. It can be a single org putting it all up of course for more ad spread but that doesn't matter with the question of their source anyway.
>>
>>214902786
most likely it's all gonna be sorted by imdb codes so when they add a new server full of files it just needs to have the right file structure. when you click to bring up a page it'll be the show title, but on the back end it will be "tt013XXXX" and the front end shit will grab from api's and make it look fancy on your end.
>>
>>214903035
you're explaining the method while I ask for means.
>>
>>214903290
learn to use command line tools like ffmpeg/yt-dlp or get jdownloader or whatever is the current year equivalent.
>>
>>214903377
try that on these sites bucko

Now that I have a nice 4k screen with HDR and shit a lot of torrents look pretty bad.

Especially the older ones when encoding was... rudimentary.

It's why I pay for Netflix really I can afford it.

You shouldn't pirate media because it harms the industry.
>>
>>214903429
again, you're trying to rip dogshit compressed files, go get the rarbg mirror backup for pre-shutdown (i think 2022?) movies/shows, or look for direct download sites.
could also just wireshark and look at the packets and figure it out from there, some little script that kicks you off the page because you have dev console up isn't going to stop you from seeing the network traffic
>>
>>214903764
I already know how to get better rips. You don't understand my inquiry.

>>214903784
wireshark, whois, ffmpeg
good luck m8

>>214903953
I didn't try wireshark, I'll admit that. browser or media tools didn't help.

I miss Rarbg so fucking much
nothing compared to it

>>214903729
Surely the media have to see that this is fucking ridiculous. To watch almost anything now requires a subscription
>peacock

>cinemax

even anime now has crunchyroll
it just isn't viable for the average consumer, especially when their answer to profits declining is to raise the subscription price while also quietly getting rid of content

They're back where they started, except people are now even less tecj savvy than before. This will continue and it will only get worse. With people still paying.

I have no idea if anyone knows where to find it but over 20 years ago Patton Oswalt and Jerry Stiller did a miniseries for the History Channel and part of the commercial was Oswalt telling Stiller "The last time you paid for gas you were on Seinfeld. Give me five bucks serenity now" and since this is a thread looking for torrents I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

>you’re remembering a History Channel mini from about 2003 called #On the Road. Patton Oswalt appeared in promos alongside Jerry Stiller for that series; Oswalt’s credits list it specifically as a History Channel miniseries, and Stiller’s “other works” blurbs also pair the two on that project
