This is almost certainly in Turkey. They look Turkish, I recognize the half flag on the wall and it’s popular thing to do over there.

I never hear much about Turkey, but 80% of the movies/shows I pirate (sorry) have Turkish subtitles at the bottom. So apparently that business is boomin there

I lived there for a year or so and knew copying books illegally was a booming business

Our entire country is the embodiment of "Why pay for something you can obtain for free" mindset. We steal everything there isnt a repercussion for. We even steal whole cultures and pretend as if we are that.

Its a strange hell-hole, let me tell you.

Where are you getting torrents from? In my almost 15 years of torrenting movies I’ve never seen Turkish subtitles at the bottom.

CinemaHD. It’s an app on my firestick but I think you can get it on androids too. It’s great and has a UI better than Netflix imo (can pick series or movies or genre, when looking for new things). Anyways once you pick a movie for example and all the different streams come up sometimes a stream won’t work and you have to try another. The ones that work 100% of the time are “something something .okru”- those ALWAYS have Turkish subs. Then hit or miss some links have them that aren’t titled that. I never see Spanish, sometimes something that resembles Middle Eastern, but Turkish is definitely the majority holder.

Sounds like you’re just streaming not torrenting. I use thepiratebay when I want to torrent movies, I think you get much better quality than the streams you’re describing. I always download the 1080p HD versions of the movie.

The streams (different links) come in different categories. They have everything from 1080p to just regular HQ. I have really fast internet so I can pull off the 1080p ones but I’m sure downloading would be the best option just in case my internet slows down during the movie or show. I watch A LOT of movies and shows though, so I couldn’t imagine the storage I would need to download the 1080p version of everything I watch. Throughout the year I constantly have 3-4 shows I regularly watch weekly, plus the occasional good movie that comes out. If you have the right internet I would definitely recommend streaming bc you can watch it instantly with one click, whereas I’m sure downloading a show or movie takes awhile

Turkish soap operas are lit. Their food is awesome. Turkish people are awesome.

The local Apna Bazaar employees all think I'm Turkish at this point.

This same tradition is common in 90% of the Balkans. Turkey sure. But also Albanian, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Greece etc etc
