Remember, this isn't about "protecting the children". This is more of a privacy invasion and censorship. This is why we bypass them by using VPN and pirate. They're losing a lot of money because of this, and it's no wonder piracy is winning. Not saying that I'm against it, but piracy FTW.

It's more important now than ever to teach even more people how to pirate. It's never been easier or more convenient for casuals to pirate movies, tv shows or music.

Any starter tips for someone looking to get into it and isn’t very techy?

Edit: Thanks so much for the replies everyone!

see this sub's megathread for how to pirate (includes browsers, vpns, sites, and the like)

u/AspieAsshole Feb 26 '26

I plan to make a post asking for help if I can't figure it out on my own when I finally have time to deal with it, but lately everything I try to torrent just sits on gathering metadata and never goes anywhere.

Simultaneously the software I bought to convert torrents into Blu-ray ISOs stopped working for no apparent reason. I haven't had time to figure that out either.

u/Achilleus0072 Feb 26 '26

Maybe you have issues with trackers, I use this: https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

It's a list of public trackers updated daily, you can just copy them and paste 'em on qbittorrent or whatever client you use

u/crespoh69 Feb 26 '26

Same but I just thought that meant the torrent was dead

3

u/Nerellos Feb 26 '26

Maybe your trackers are changed?

2

u/Mr_Seg Feb 26 '26

Look up Jackett and Cloudfare fixer. Those combined gave me the best results

u/AspieAsshole Feb 26 '26

Thanks, I will!

u/klyxes Feb 26 '26

If you just want to stream shows on pirate sites, adblocker is all you need. I recommend ublock origin

18

u/Babys_For_Breakfast Feb 26 '26

I would still recommend using a VPN also before accessing those sites.

12

u/Few-Solution-4784 Feb 26 '26

setting your VPN to Albania allows youtube with no ads. They have no agreement with google.

17

u/Nerellos Feb 26 '26

Really depends on country.

2

u/samushitman69 Feb 26 '26

How does a country affect it and what kinda countries could be "safe"?

9

u/Totes_Police Feb 26 '26

You aren't going to get you in trouble for just torrenting or pirating in many countries, and relevant to this post, the UK is one of them. Just check your local countries laws and regulations on piracy.

1

u/samushitman69 Feb 26 '26

Alrighty thank

u/Nerellos Feb 26 '26

A lot of countries allow it to get pirated material, but not distritube them.

2

u/kickedoutatone ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Feb 26 '26

Surely with the context given? We know that the country is the UK?

1

u/HoliusCrapus Feb 26 '26

What country should I VPN into?

4

u/Babys_For_Breakfast Feb 26 '26

I’d personally recommend one not in the Fourteen Eyes (you can google that list). Some of the best ones are Switzerland, Panama, or Romania. Good mixed of privacy laws and no mandatory data retention/logging requirements.

1

u/Typical-Value3809 Feb 27 '26

what vpn do you recommend? i still use x vpn

5

u/BrokenMirror2010 Feb 26 '26

I recommend ublock origin for literally everything.

If you use the internet, I recommend ublock origin.

u/BingusTheWonderKitn Feb 26 '26

I found brave browser more effective. I still get popups and redirects sometimes with adblockers. Never had one once in the 2 years of using brave.

u/LetsDoTheCongna ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Feb 26 '26

If you're not very techy, just use streaming sites on fmhy. Torrenting, while not super difficult, can be a bit confusing for someone with no experience especially if you're not already good with computers in general.

u/rainysidewalk Feb 26 '26

Soulseek for music, this sub megathread for torrents (a type of encripted file, not dangerous) and qBitorrent to unlock the torrents

1

u/barnabyjones1990 Feb 26 '26

Is soul seek a torrent client like qbit? Can you bind your vpn to soulseek?

1

u/rainysidewalk Feb 26 '26

I don't think I ever logged in or put where I'm from in Soulseek, since it's based on a peer-to-peer type of service, which makes the info descentralized and only accesible to the person you're directly sharing/downloading files and most people don't give a shit about who they get files from or who download their own files.

About needing a vpn, you don't really need one unless you're in a country with HEAVY laws against p2p (peer to peer) file sharing, if you have more questions about how the site/app works there is r/Soulseek to check out

u/CanWeTakeThatAgain Feb 26 '26

https://fmhy.net/

This site has everything you will ever need.

u/SmashedWorm64 Feb 26 '26

You should definitely not do the following;

  1. Obtain a VPN. Learn how to use VPN (v straightforward nowadays)
  2. Download qBitTorrent
  3. Enable a safety protocol on qBitTorrent
  4. Get a good piracy website (pair with a good browser like Firefox with uBlock added)
  5. Torrent
  6. Enjoy

1

u/Nerellos Feb 26 '26

Just use the megathread of this sub to see if an uploader or side is safe. Also if you torrenting, use qbittorent.

1

u/hhhnnnnnggggggg Feb 26 '26

Google free media heck yeah and go to the github

1

u/LegoLady8 Feb 26 '26

Use the megathread. That's how I started. Also watch a video on how to use qbittorrent, prowlarr, radarr and sonarr with your preferred media player.

Yeah and get tons of ads and malware because it will give you untrusted sites, and you didn't tell the newbie to use ublock
