      You say uTorrent, I say µTorrent. We are not the same ;P

      EDIT: I get µ from [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [m] (or [Alt Gr] + [m]), in case someone wants to be able to do it easily themselves. It might be different on your keyboard…

    Unlike some, I never took off my pirate hat. That’s been me the whole time.

    Except for the whole not being alone thing.

      Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It “caches” torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection’s maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you’re not distributing anything, you don’t have to pay for a VPN, either.

      EDIT: It’s kind of like a seed box, except it’s more of a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.

      I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don’t like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It’s mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.

      Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform – all in one place – streamed instantly to your TV. I’ll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.

      EDIT: It bothers me that so many people are willing to dismiss Debrid services without even giving them a chance. Here’s proof that this is legit – /r/Piracy megathread on reddit | Video 1 | Video 2 (sorry for the shaky phone video. I just wanted to get this evidence out quickly before people move on to a different thread, and it’s kinda difficult to have a steady hand when you’re trying to film and click at the same time.)
