I never did it. How can I do it? And where I need to go for it?

    I don’t really understand why everyone’s telling you about torrents when you don’t need them to watch movies. Like, it’s nice if you want Blu Ray quality or have bad internet or something, but you don’t need to download stuff unless you really want to. I just use uBlock Origin with Firefox and one of a few streaming sites. You can find a list here: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/movies-and-tv/ (Scroll down to streaming and try one out.) It works on mobile, too.

    Sometimes you’ll have to check multiple sites to find older, more obscure things, but for the most part they only really differ in their UI. Some anime sites even have options to skip the intro/outro and autoplay the next episode.

    VPN to a nice safe country like Switzerland.

    Look into selfhosting the Servarr stack along side QBitTorrent, pick a media player such as Plex or Jellyfin. Easy free streaming.

      These resources are really all you need, but they’re all individually quite focused so for a new person it can be hard to see the forest.

      An overview:

      For movies, streaming sites are fine.

      To start torrenting safely:

      • get a paid vpn (i use mullvad)
      • download qbittorrent or the like
      • find a public tracker from the megathead, general ones are easy/convenient for starting imo
      • virus scan/use common sense/be careful
