I actually agree with HBO. Password sharing isn’t great because it means that you’re giving them money. It’s time to get started with file sharing instead.
Currently a 1.72 ratio on The Pitt
He also said the company is focused on improving the service itself.
Cool afterthought, bro. Something to look into once you’ve dialed in the right amount of “aggressive language”.
Their video player still doesn’t even support double click to full screen.
Fuck you.
I wish they’d let me block Bill Maher from my app
My Jellyfin user’s password sharing will continue.
Don’t be a savage, create users for people.
I should get into that, I at least have all four seasons of WestWorld still available for viewing.
A seedbox that allows streaming is a great buy. I split the $40/mo cost among 4 people and have a server on 50Gb connection, 20TB of upload per month(streaming bandwidth excluded) and 8TB of storage. Using private trackers I can add new content nearly instantly (under 5 seconds for a 1080p copy, a few minutes for 4k things) so even if it isn’t already available it’ll be done before your popcorn.
What a seedbox?
A hosted server that exists to run bittorrent (and other things). Usually these are managed by the host so you don’t need to know anything about managing a server. You just get a web interface to install and configure apps and credentials to connect to your FTP server.
The advantage is the server is usually located in a datacenter with incredibly fast and cheap bandwidth while also being in a country that doesn’t care much about US copyright.
You can get cheap ones for like $5/mo with tiny storage. These are basically so they can download from Bittorrent and you can copy the files to your PC (using something like SFTP or rsync). This is a better, imo, option than torrenting via a VPN and protects you from your ISP/government determining that you use BitTorrent.
You can pay a bit more for other features too. I have more storage, more upload bandwidth and the ability to run streaming apps (Jellyfin and Plex) which don’t count against my upload bandwidth.
The better torrent sites are all private and, generally, having a seedbox is a requirement for membership. So it also allows you access to higher quality sites with better seeded torrents.
Thanks for asking. I was wondering too!
Hey I’m looking to get a seedbox myself, I don’t have much storage left on my PC so I am looking for one that can host the files and let me stream them, preferably with Plex or Jellyfin somehow, can you share the name of your seed box provider

Since the Righteous Gemstones ended there is nothing I watch on there anyway.
Didn’t they threaten this like five years ago? Any time I share access I just have friends/family VPN into my home network. ¯\(ツ)/¯
ive been getting hbo max for free for like two years cause they think i pay through youtube tv which i haven’t had for two years.
they better not take it away from me
So did you just cancel the HBO max subscription in YouTubeTV, or did you cancel YouTubeTV altogether?
i had yttv with hbo and signed in through uttv/google to create my max account but i got rid of yttv years ago
Interesting… thanks for the reply!
I’ll use the money I save from dumping HBO to buy extra treats for me parrot. Yarrr!
Piracy spike expected in earnest in September*
Arrrrrrrrrr matey!
How do I find a private tracker?
None of my friends are very tech savvy, and thepiratebay sucks balls.
Add the RSS feed for /r/OpenSignups to your feed reader. Wait for a good tracker to open up. TorrentLeech was open last week. It will probably be quite a while until they open again, but that’s a good tracker that’s easy to get onto.
The other option is to interview for MyAnonaMouse or Redacted. They have invite forums that you can use to sign up for other trackers once you get access to it.
So will the mass cancellation
People said the same thing about Netflix. Sadly, its not true. They gained record numbers of new subscribers after and recently hit a new milestone of 300+ million subscribers.
The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.
