Question for you IPT guys. Am I understanding the rules correctly that I could just donate 5 bucks and get 2 weeks of VIP and then in that time pretty much download every 4k they have and not get hit with penalties? So I could just delete the torrent as soon as it's done and not sweat the HNR stuff?


maybe i'm just old and paranoid but personally i would never donate or in any other way financially connect myself to a site like this. its not worth it. most of these movies are freeleech already so all you have to do is leave them seeding and if you're worried about your data cap, pause them until the end of the month or something.

you do have to pay a bit more attention with a data cap but i do great.

another strategy is to check your data cap a week before the end of the month and if you have lots of room; download like crazy.

Eh, probably a bit paranoid CAD.

I pay for IPTV, not really any different. Or Real Debrid.

My issue is HD space, not a data cap. I have none. Only thing I've got is a 1TB external and my 1TB internal, which is slam full already. Need me some major space here soon. Just going to have to ration and let each one hit the 2 weeks for now.

I can get a 6tb drive for $100 or so it looks like. That still isn't much room for full 2160p mkv's though.

Edit: The main reason I was asking that was if I was to get a big drive, I could basically pay $5 and get pretty much every movie I wanted within 2 weeks and not sweat the reseeding rules.

keep your eye on the board here. that bestbuy/WD/amazon 8TB drive goes on sale for $150 or so about once a month.

i'd get that one; if you dig up some of the older threads on here it can be RAIDed fairly easily.

you'd be surprised how much you can fit on a 8TB drive though.

Seed them for 2 weeks. At that point it would only be what, a few movies every 2 weeks? There's not that many movies I'll want. My issue is building the library now.

I was just researching that one. Definitely looks to be the best deal price wise. The Seagates have gotten horrible reviews on Amazon. It's 170 on there right now.

this is way easier than ya'll are building it up as. you can 'zap' those movies too using excess ratio build up or the points they award you over time if seeing them listed there is worrying you.

in fact i have 12 'need seeding' torrents right now i'm ignoring until after the first of the month. i ignore them for weeks at a time.

they don't come after you on this stuff if you have a good ratio.

IPTV is too clutch.

Nba League Pass, NFL Red Zone, PPV, and etc. All for as little as 5 bucks a month.

No, to me it looks like almost all of the 4k stuff is free leach. It's the other stuff that isn't. That's all I've looked at though since I'm really only interested in that.

I just want to thank everyone in this thread who recommended terrarium tv. Kodi has been unusable for me the last few months and hadn't heard of terrarium.

It is light years better than anything on kodi. Any tips to solidify the experience? Running on a 3rd gen Fire TV. Downloaded MX player which seems to be better than the default player.

I'm just looking at the resolution. Lot of stuff is marked 4k and it 3840 x 1600 instead of 3840 x 2160.

I just discovered Show Box and it might be better than Terrarium

Terrarium has been lackluster past few weeks. Streams keep buffering, click a link and different movie plays, etc.
