    I recently got into Broadcast the Net through a friend of a friend and it is infinitely better than any streaming service in combination with the *arr suite and Plex. I had almost forgotten how much better piracy is until Netflix pulled their no account sharing bullshit. Now they get $0/month from me and that money goes to BTN.

        Think of The Pirate Bay, but you have to get an invite to make an account to be able to leech/seed.

        It’s a private torrent tracker with strict rules (you must seed every show you download for at least 24 hours, and every season pack for 5 days, both within 2 weeks). If you break that rule you get a mark on your account, and after enough of them you get banned. As a result of these rules just about every torrent has download speeds above 500 Mbps, and almost every TV show you can imagine is on there. It’s also full of people ripping new shows as soon as they come out, so new episodes pop up day of release.

        It’s almost impossible to get into without knowing someone who’s already in.
