    Don’t you need to pay to be able to get access?

      Yes, but not a massive amount. I pay annually and it works out to about $7-8 a month for 50mbps of bandwidth and unlimited downloads. Then use *arr apps and sabnzbd to manage everything.

          I mean, I don’t use the service but, $7-8 a month that gives you access to everything versus 14 to $16 a month per streaming service on everything else. It sounds like they’re still getting a steal at a more convenient rate.

          Being said, yeah there is plenty of free options that could be being done as well so there is that argument

          Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don’t pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it’s literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.

      Depends on how much you download. You can pay a once-off payment for a block of data and it lasts indefinitely. I’ve got a 5TB block I’ve had for over 10 years. I think it was maybe $25 when I got it?

      Edit: If you need more data, there’s plans with unlimited data for a few dollars per month.
