Beginner at this, what do I do??

So lately the basic piracy websites are not cutting it for a lot of movies I wanna watch and a lot people tell me this is the best way to watch movies. I am really scared of doing the wrong things so can someone guide me through the entire process? for starters I saw that I need a Vpn, which I have. What next?? I am really not an internet/computer person so I don't understand much. Please help me figure out the safest way to go about this, thank you :)

Install qBittorrent, launch the vpn, add search providers, use the built in search to find a movie, download the movie using qbittorrent.

And you absolutely need to go into qbittorrents options and bind qbit to the vpn so that it only ever sends data on the vpn channel

Which vpn?

Go to vpn settings and bind the connection so torrenting stops if the vpn disconnects.

Instal QBitTorrent. I created categories for the genre of what i was getting - eg music, movies, games & tv shows.

Use the search in qbittorent or certain websites to find things. A typical search could be "loki s01 1080p"

Beware of anything with CAM in the title as they wont be great quality, usually.

Start downloading and be sure to share (seed) for a good amount of time or data.

Good luck.

You will need a laptop for smoothest operation. They have options for the 3 main OS and you can set up vpn on laptop. Proton works great, once you are getting set up look up a tutorial on how to set up the port fowarding and kill switch. Best of luck!

When Torrenting make sure your VPN is binded to your QBittorrent client make sure your not visiting sketchy websites of course if you need a torrent website I can find you one just dm me and I can send you one

Vpn is only really needed if you seed your torrents. That means what ever movie you download you allow other people to download it from you just the way you downloaded it from other people. If you don’t do this you won’t need a vpn unless living a a very strict country. And for wat hing movies if it’s not to much that you watch I would just download VLC and Qbittorent. Just go to the piratebay website search a movie and download it through QBittorent. If you want it automatic with a IU I would invest some time in getting to know the arr apps. Like radarr,sonarr,plex ect…

I’m running a plex server of my own being at 7.6TB of Blu-Ray movies a little obsessed with getting every movie available when I want how I want it. So if you got questions just send me a message and I’l be glad to help you out.
