Best sites for downloading bootleg or old films and ebooks

[OwlHoot]

I usually prefer buying bluray films these days, as the quality and lack of malware is guaranteed.

But a friend (no really) was asking if there are still Torrent sites, as there were say ten years ago, from where one can download reasonable quality films or ebooks, and I agreed to ask here.

Also, what VPNs can the congregation recommend or otherwise? My friend says she uses TunnelBear.

The original and the best.....thepiratebay.org

VPN in from a country where it's still legal....like Switzerland

For VPN......free...Windscribe (10GB per month) paid.....Surfshark

[ladymuck]

eztv.io for TV series

rarbg.to for pretty much everything (really annoying captcha and pop ups but eventually you can access the site and get stuff)

Connect using TOR browser as that reliably bypasses any ISP blocking.

But don't upload. That is illegal.

Surprised CUK allows posts "how do I do this illegal thing" - most forums seem to cull them for fear of culpability.

How eminently sensible.

Anyway, it was "for a friend", like.
