VPN, my recommendation: mullvadVPN. (You need this, because copyright trolls look for easy targets, such as people having their real IP exposed. You don’t want to be that, they won’t fight with the VPNs hosting partner, then with the VPN company, then with your ISP, just to get to you, they only extort people they can reach directly.)
Download qBittorrent (FOSS) and install ALL search plugins
Activate your VPN and search with the integrated search function, it will look through all sites you installed plugins for and present them to you directly in the programme.
Enjoy a collection of TV and movies you actually own.
There is a setting to bind qbittorrent to your vpn. PLEASE use this as using it without accidentally could get you in trouble. The binding is a last resort safety mechanism to prevent it from even working if the vpn is off.
I keep hearing conflicting info on mullvard and sailing, do they block port forwarding? Which may affect seeding to some places? Like private… sailing seas? I am a bit unsure how this works, but if I am sailing for linux distros, I want to be able to seed them.
Mullvad does in fact block port forwarding. If it is absolutely required (it is if you want to be able to connect to the most people) then you should look into possibly a seed box or another reputable vpn.
Mind you, it will work without port forwarding but not as well with it.
Main thing is to know if your ISP cares or not. Mine does, so I use a vpn. You can set qbittorrent to only use the vpn so if it gets turned off then just nothing will download.
You can do that on windows just downloading something like qbittorrent and mullvad vpn. You can also set them up in docker containers if you are familiar with that. It allows you to have the vpn only affect qbittorrent rather than your whole PC.
I do all of this on linux as well but had originally set it up on windows.
The best way to start is to visit fmhy just search it on the web. Learn and be a pirate sail the seas and keep information to yourself and not spread out your gold to the public like a true pirate
Additionally to the other answers, take a look at stremio with Torrentio. A few of my friends use it (I’m using a private tracker), it’s basically as convenient as using Netflix AFAICS.
Note that a VPN might be required to avoid getting fined in some countries as stremio is basically simply torrenting videos sequentially and simultaneously playing them, and torrent is often monitored by authorities
No problem, I just wanted to clarify to avoid any issues, as I know a few non tech literate people who thought they would be safe since it’s not the kind of torrent app they were used to
I would go to the high seas but I don’t know where to start. I used to visit the high seas often about 10 years ago. But now. Shrugs shoulders.

For mullvad, I can tell you from experience, it works perfectly well.
I’d also recommend the Megathread from the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/
qbittorrent, use the search tab

But where from?
10 years ago it was just pirate bay
That still exists. I like 1337x.to as well.

Yeah obviously, that’s why I said additionally to the other answers.
