I started pirating movies again after a decade (lemmy.world)

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?

What do you find on Usenet thats not on torrents?

It's not so much that I can't find things on torrents, it's that I don't have to worry about something not having seeders so it's more reliable for old uploads. In addition I've found it to be better for single episodes, multiple release groups that I use seem to only use Usenet.

As for things that aren't movies/tv, I think Usenet is better for slightly more obscure content, such as comic books.

I think it depends on the country and language content. If i want german movies, i dont find them on torrents.

Torrents are kind of risky here and usenet seems to be far safer. So a lot of uploaders use OCHs or Usenet.

Since you are looking for German movies you might be interested in my German DL Sonarr & Radarr guide:
