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?

I was mainly torrenting before Netflix but ever since NF has gone to hell I've been on the lookout for a more family-friendly way to stream. After trying out a few options (Kodi, fmovies, Stremio etc) I've found that nothing beats the Stremio+Torrentio+Real Debrid method. You do have to pay subscription for Real Debrid but it's really cheap and not compulsory.

That's what I just setup a few days ago following another thread on here and can confirm, it's so simple and works really well.

I also started using Trakt along with it and adding user lists on stremio to fill up the feed.

Now my only problems are handling language (we watch stuff in original version but would like French versions for the kid). I set up torrentio for it but seems a bit hit or miss.

The other part I still need to figure out is when there's no streams found for more obscure stuff, I read I can fetch magnet links myself and put them in real DB but haven't tried it yet, not sure where best to go get these links and also don't understand if it's then going to work like normal for shows (like do I just search the titles again in stremio after putting the link in real DB and can I just do it for s01ep01 and then it'll autoplay the next episodes as normal?).
