RIP fmovies. Long live sudo
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

Losing fmovies wasn't the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It's the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can't handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.
Dude, there is the golden age I've waited 20yrs for.
Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you're set. Never worry again.
Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!
Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁
That's what I do
Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
MegaVideo was the golden age
there's fboxz it's an exact clone of fmovies.
