Pay for a seedbox and install Plex on it (something like whatbox.ca). You'll have your own streaming service that you can add anything you want to, and it only costs as much as the seedbox. It will give you insularity so you don't get ISP notices, you can access it from anywhere, it's great.
From there it's just finding where you want to get your torrents from and getting used to adding them to the torrent client on your seedbox.
Fascinating! Never heard of this. Thank you.
Plex is truly great! I forgot to mention it streams music in addition to movies and tv. The Plex web app is not particularly fantastic for streaming music, but they have a separate app called Plexamp that is really great. So all in all you can use this setup to eliminate all your streaming subscriptions.
