Normally I don’t have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.

Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it’s offline.

So my question is, how to get a movie like “Sing 2” in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.

    With realdebrid it’s even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.

      well with premiumize it’s even better :) they cache usenet and DDL links too. I’ve had way more success with obscure titles on there than i did with realdebrid

          I did some research and found mixed reviews. It’s also quite expensive. I also tried Uncloud via Onion but the couple of NZB’s I tried failed, probably out of retention, even though they were <1000 days old

          Instead, I signed up for Easynews for US$36 for 1 year (via here instead of US$10 / month. Then I installed this Stremio plugin. Some of my shows were not on RD, but I can find them on Easynews. And the good thing is that I can also use it with my *arr + nzbget set up :)

              I’m a bit less happy as EN buffers a lot here. Could be my location. So please try before you buy.

                Thanks for the heads up. I hope you resolve that issue in the near future, and I hope that I could catch it in the trial phase if it will indeed be an issue where I’m located.

                  I emailed their support, which sent some standard replies, but it had some useful information. Apparently they have a manual server selector. After doing some tests and switching to a closer server, it seems better! So that could be worth a try.

                  Yeah, I’m stuck with them for a year now, luckily only $36 :D And comes with free VPN.

                  Workaround is to install Kodi and then the Fen plugin which has better support for Easynews. Could be my fallback option.

        I’ve got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don’t have an API. I’ve automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.
