I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven’t really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I’m was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll.
My family likes to watch different types of content that is distributed on many different platforms.
I was never subscribed to these many services until a couple years ago. I was thinking which service I should cancel when I realized I had the option to cancel all of them this entire time.
I’m torrenting again and I started saving a considerate amount.
The only service I’m paying for is Spotify which I think it’s fairly priced and offers all the music my family listens too (and it’s convenient). All the competitors pretty much offer the same content and that’s how streaming services should be.
I remember back in the day using eMule and BitChe (to look for torrents). Now I’m using Deluge as my torrent client and I I get my torrents from 1337x. What sites are you guys using?
You can bind your torrent client to only use the VPN connection. The default is that if there is a drop on the vpn, most torrent clients use any connection which means it would just use your normal connection and could leak your ip address.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Make sure there are no “leaks” once you get PIA set up. There are online torrent leak checkers.
I’ve been using PIA to get around various region locked streaming sites for awhile now
What do you mean “leaks” like apps on my Pc not using it?

DNS leaks. I got caught on my VPN like 3 times and didn’t understand why until I realized that my VPN has massive DNS leaks.
