And before you say i have read the megathread atleast as much as i can because it feels too buzzwordy for me and i think it is more suitable with people with a little more experience than for litteral noobs also i want to leaen how to in android and not a pc and the megathread leans heavily into pc .
To be clear i am not asking you to hold my hand through everything you can link things as answers these are the question i have tried to look up and haven't found answers to yet. If there are no answers for my weird questions you can flat out say it or if my post is not in the correct /c/ i'll be more than happy to remove it. I I used to use telegram which was easy but i did'nt appreciate the telegram owners ethics and the people there are toxic. And then i tried paying and bolted after the date of my payment ran out as the experience was NOT ideal.
Is there any app that can replace telegram where you can just find files and install it ? I am asking about movies and series and is not interested in anything else.
I have tried downloading from streaming sites and you know like bflix but that sucks am i doing it wrong ?
Can i use browser for doenloading or is another client needed ? I can download as much tool as you'd recommend as long as it is from fdroid main repo don't suggest anything else i just can't (i know that seems lazy but it is the truth). Also if i am not concerned about ISP should i still use vpn like does it go in my permanent internet record that i torrented a movie or something lol ? I know everything on internet does but is a torrenting record that bad ?
EDIT 1: > Also i want small file forsize movies and series meaning 800mb is alright for a 1hr and 45 minute movie . Like is there any websites that supoly 720p hevc 10 bit kinda formats ?
EDIT 2: Also if you can explain or link some source on how to use the software u suggest that would be helpful.
EDIT 3 : I use fennec with ublock is that goid enough some one suggested it was and if it is that will save me hella lot of trouble.
Will add questions as i remember. Currently i am reading some articles which kinda don't help me at all . Also i know there is an issue about discussing these things on the /c/ so if you want you can dm me the answers. I don't know why i didn't get into this sooner but please remember to be kind to the noob as all of you once were noobs.
Edit : Sorry for the spelling and grammer english is my second lang.
EDIT : Even though i may not have replied to each and every suggestion i do appreciate them and will try out one by one thanks to everyone who bothered to help.
I use Seal, yt-dlp android front-end, on my phone to download videos from streamming sites.
For torrenting, Deluge on my computer and libtorrent on my android. I mainly use torrent for anime so I download a .torrent file from nyaa and open it with Deluge. Done.
Thank you for Seal, was looking for an Android yt-dlp app.
Check out YTDLnis, personally better for me than Seal.
Is libtorrent still good ? Like should'nt internet connecting software be updated atleast annually for security reasons ? Still thanks .
If it isn't broke, don't fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn't worry about it.
That is right i guess tho i was concerned because it is used to download files from a shady part of internet
It doesn't protect you from evil executables, no torrent client does (that I know of). It's up to you to make sure you trust what you download. If it simply is movies I wouldn't be bothered, but games/software can be nasty when from public trackers (open for everyone torrent search engines). The same is true for direct downloads.
That's what anti-virus and common sense are for. If you're downloading from a dodgy site and are unsure about if it's a virus, don't download. The megathread is a good tool for websites that are deemed safe and there's always a post or few on what sites are safe, what are fakes, so on and so forth. When you've found sources that work for you, keep them. Popular sources will have everything but the most niche of content.
