Recommended Torrent/Direct Download of pirated movies

As the title suggests, do you guys have any recommended websites to get movies safely?

My secret is to have an ISP that is fine with piracy lmao.

I get all my movies from yts.mx though and haven't had issues. I also used rarbg but rip they're dead now.

  oh nice. I'm guessing not the same team, but same spirit? like how the original yts are gone?
Grab yourself a VPN and always use that while you’re sailing the high seas. For movies I just use the search function in qBittorrent.
- I've been using qBittorrent for a few years but never used the search function because uTorrent's never showed the right results for me. I will give it another try next time
  
  Worth giving it a try! I used to just try and search for magnet links or torrent downloads on websites like rarbg but using the search function has really streamlined the process for me.
- a vpn is probably not great, a cheap VPS in linode (because it has one click wireguard vpses) is probably better and wont get caught on captchas / anti spam filters
  
  Captchas aside, with a VPN your traffic is mixed with others, making it much harder to trace back to you (assuming the VPN provider has a no-log policy and can be trusted). With Linode, isn't that not the case since you're setting up a VPS for just yourself, and therefore a greater risk?
  
  Would you mind telling me more about this? I use a VPN and it’s annoying having to turn it off for Etsy or whatever. Would this stop that?
- I see! Thanks for the answer (@⁰@)/
- Got a recommended VPN?
  
  ProtonVPN or MullvadVPN is fine
  
  I like Mullvad. They were recently subject to a search warrant and customer data was not compromised due to their no-logging policy.

  You could also take a look at TorrentFreak's list. They don't recommend services, but instead ask them a series of questions to understand how seriously they take privacy and what policies and safeguards they have in place.

  Mullvad has been great for me. I did a lot of research when I picked them but stuff could have changed since then. Don’t use any that advertise (nord, etc)
Very beginner in a way and also outdated in some aspects: https://github.com/Shakil-Shahadat/awesome-piracy

VPN is probably an OK idea depending on where you live. IP Blocklists or host blocklists too. I do a lot of downloading. Have been since the 90s. The only time I ever had any issue was when a friend used their computer at my house and downloaded a Massive Attack album. The only thing about their config that was different from mine was the blocklists.

have not uses it for Movies. However I would suggest checking out Hatt (its like Jackett except for direct downloads). I'll update with the link in a bit. Just search "Hatt github"

- Sweet hadn't heard of this before. Do you know of a docker implementation?
  
  No sadly. Although the code is pretty readable. I dont think it would take much to containerize it.
I use real-debrid these days (cached torrents on their server from what I understand). Few bucks a month but maxes out a Gigabit line and no need to pay for a VPN. Can set it up with Kodi/Stremio to have instantly streamable media, even on iOS.
I use stremio with a plug-in called torrentio. It streams torrents. More or less a yohoho netflix. Mullvad vpn
