It is a sad day and year for Piracy. Soap2Day was the best of the best. So was RARBG.

Why are all these piracy sites dropping like flies? There was no warning/explanation for why they went down. Higher running/maintenance cost doesn't explain it, because why not just temporarily shut down until the bills come down? Plus, the timing is bang in the middle of the reddit protest too, which is setting my conspiracy alarms off.

How does it even connect to a stream to do that?

You install addons which search various sources for what you're looking to watch.

Maybe I'm just missing something but I've yet to find an addon that isn't torrenting. Although many of the addons are not really labeled.

There are some but yes, the primary usage is torrenting. It works great, though!

That's what I thought. I didn't know about it till mentioned (thank you) and went looking but am hesitant to torrent without a vpn. I'll have to keep messing with it and hopefully find an https stream that works.

It primarily depends on what country you live in if you need a VPN. Where do you live?
