eyup. mission accomplished and no worries going forward.
I think they think that Fmovies was actually relevant.
The mothership is down? I didn’t even notice.
Make MoviePass Great Again!
Oh shit, they know about the mothership. /s
Private tracker I’ve been using for like 17 years still works.
Ditto.
17 years is a pretty good record. Site must have been built with some damn good fake doors.
I’ve head about private tackers forever, is it that much better than public? I have never really had an issue with public trackers ,but also never had an invite to a private one
IMO, yes. Just for the consistency of quality and absence of fuckery. Damn near any TV show/movie/documentary is on there in at least 1080p, usually in 4K for newer stuff. For music I use SoulSeek and for eBooks I use LibGen.
In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won’t have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).
It’s also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)
Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.
I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff
Pfffft…if only.
What do I see them doing a lot of the time? “WHUT VPN SHULD I USE?!” asked like 1,000 fucking times a day. “WHERE SHULD I GU TO GET X FILE FROM Y SOURCE SINCE MY FAVORITE PLACE GOT SHUT DOWN? :(”
Legions of new pirates are lazy, entitled and think they’ve got the privilege to be spouting how much they think they should get for putting in as little as much work to get what they want. Always e-begging.
I never considered I2P as a source, is it good for PC games?
I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It’s for people who want to pirate, but don’t want to learn anything.
These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.
They’re not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.
This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon’s hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.
so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done
I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know about fmovies until everyone started talking about it here recently. I’ve just used Torrent sites for downloading, and Stremio for streaming and I have not noticed much hiccups.
What they took down is an easily accessible public server that hosts content itself and is accessed by tens of thousands of technologically illiterate people via their phones - with no VPN - constantly. These folks are streaming movie after movie, 720p cam jobs, making these sites light up like the 4th of July (or like a Christmas tree, whatever reference works for you).
Makes sense, though that just gives the impression that this site isn’t anything special. I swear there’s a million and a half streaming sites by now, and I would bet everyone using FMovies has found clones or alternatives (if they didn’t already know of some).
Maybe. I know several technotards who think they’ve discovered black magic because of an Ebaums World quality site where they have to watch 20 ads per shitty 720p movie and they run around telling everyone they meet about the site. These sites spring up, spread like fire, and get merkd fast af. Meanwhile torrent sites last YEARS by being a little more underground.
Sure thing, bro. 👍
This is like the time the MPAA declared “victory” when they had all of the original Pirate Bay founders arrested. But Pirate Bay still continued because it was no longer ran by them.
But you know, this is now the opportunity for people to let the MPA think they won. Just let them think so. If they think so, they’ll give a little less of a shit. If we keep screaming to the high heavens about piracy, this shit will just continue.
Fmovies, which the film industry group also called the “world’s largest piracy ring,” is said to have drawn more than 6.7 billion visits between January 2023 and June 2024. Launched in 2016, the Hanoi-based outfit included pirate sites bflixz, flixtorz, movies7, myflixer, and aniwave.
i’ve never heard of a single one of those
The MPA is so out of touch. Let’s not tell them.
Aniwave is very unfortunate, it was the best for streaming anime. Haven’t heard of the others though.
Yeah, aniwave hurt… really easy UI, looked nice.
Removed by mod
🤦♂️Imagine being so smug about being wrong🤦♂️
That’s a fake clone…
The original site was this.🤡
Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave’s core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don’t even work.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re missing the majority of Aniwave’s library too
Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don’t even try to compete 🤦♂️
i’d put my money on there being another “aniwave” soon, rather than streaming anime is gone forever
the fact that these morons think that piracy depends on some singular centralized “mothership” that controls everything just demonstrates how clueless they are
doing a search just now, I saw two pop up. super functional as well.
these fellas ain’t too bright. let’s continue to allow them to think they are.
Hey what were those two sites so I can avoid them, don’t wanna accidentally pirate something yar har fiddly dee ifyouknowwhatimsayin
Aniwave was probably the best anime streaming site, mainly because its the only one with a functional watch together feature. I also haven’t heard of any of the others though.
I guess you weren’t in the ring.
and from the sound of it, i never will be
Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.
Eat shit clown
MPA says no more “Whac-a-Mole” with pirate sites
Why would you say something you know you’ll regret having said?
Casting illusions works on some people, usually those with defeatist or “not worth the trouble” mindset?
