Normally I don’t have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.

Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it’s offline.

So my question is, how to get a movie like “Sing 2” in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.

    Once set up, it’s the laziest way to watch something. Torrentio does have an issue finding torrents for specials and other extra video content.

      With realdebrid it’s even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.

        well with premiumize it’s even better :) they cache usenet and DDL links too. I’ve had way more success with obscure titles on there than i did with realdebrid

            I did some research and found mixed reviews. It’s also quite expensive. I also tried Uncloud via Onion but the couple of NZB’s I tried failed, probably out of retention, even though they were <1000 days old

            Instead, I signed up for Easynews for US$36 for 1 year (via here instead of US$10 / month. Then I installed this Stremio plugin. Some of my shows were not on RD, but I can find them on Easynews. And the good thing is that I can also use it with my *arr + nzbget set up :)

                I’m a bit less happy as EN buffers a lot here. Could be my location. So please try before you buy.

                  Thanks for the heads up. I hope you resolve that issue in the near future, and I hope that I could catch it in the trial phase if it will indeed be an issue where I’m located.

                    I emailed their support, which sent some standard replies, but it had some useful information. Apparently they have a manual server selector. After doing some tests and switching to a closer server, it seems better! So that could be worth a try.

                    Yeah, I’m stuck with them for a year now, luckily only $36 :D And comes with free VPN.

                    Workaround is to install Kodi and then the Fen plugin which has better support for Easynews. Could be my fallback option.

          I’ve got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don’t have an API. I’ve automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.
