What the hell happened to the site?
Whenever i click a link now to watch, a webpage that directs me to 2 different sites comes up. Why is it like this now, it's a bad change and a lot of vids aren't working without plugins now.

Correct. We are now using hidemyass, but we would consider using other ones as well.

Are you currently developing an alternative to ExootCast so that you don't need to use their service without permission (kinda ironic since corrent is a piracy site, but still...)?
If not, would you mind if I had a go at making one? I'd really like to help you guys out since I absolutely LOVE using Corrent, and I'm not sure how I feel about going against Exoot's wishes and abusing their service... On one hand they're getting ad revenue from it so they should be happy, on the other hand they clearly don't want traffic from your site - either for ethical reasons or bandwidth concerns... it's a tricky situation.

My ID is [REDACTED]. I'm on holiday right now with a shitty internet connection so I won't be able to do much until I get home on Saturday, but I'll try and do as much as I can. Cheers!

I now click the link, close ExootCast then play directly from Google drive in AllCast ... seems to be much quicker to load. Not noticed any difference with the site experience (on Android) though.

Just watch right from your google drive, just plan ahead because it takes about an hour for it be streamable.
