Tips for streaming (beehaw.org)

I've never been into torrenting stuff but usually just do streaming via the usual sites (I usually use any site that fmhy recommends). However, I've noticed that most pirate streaming sites have much slower load rates and need a long time to buffer than commercial streaming sites. This often means that I cannot watch an episode in full but have to pause to buffer... As you can tell, I'm a total noob. What can I do to have a nicer experience streaming pirated content?

(And sure, that's probably why people get into torrenting. I already got a raspberry pi that I intent to use for this, but I couldn't find the energy to set it all up yet.)

Back when I was a streamer I used Kodi with the add-ons (I was in a subreddit where the current good ones got posted now and then) and had a Real Debrid account.

It was really convenient, maybe give it a go with your Pi. There's an OS you can bang on it (is it openelec? Libre-elec? Something like that) and just plug it into your TV. You'll have to work out controlling it in a convenient way, I have a little keyboard about the size of a remote with a usb dongle. It's got a little touchpad for the mouse and cost me fuck all on Amazon.

You do have to pay for Real Debrid but it's totally worth the price and will get you used to paying for piracy.

So the cycle goes:

Install Kodi and play with the free streams and think it's pretty great, get frustrated because you can't watch that one thing, finally bite the bullet and get a month of Real Debrid, tell your friends how ace Real Debrid is.

Just skip that and get Real Debrid once you have your Pi set up.
