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.

    Fennec is a Firefox fork on F-droid, use this as your browser and install ublock origin as your adblocker. Top right menu in fennc then press add-ons and find ublock origin and install it. Customise by pressing the top right menu of fennec -> add-ons -> ublock origin -> settings

    Then just use the direct download sites in the megathread to download your files from. You can follow something like this video to harden ublock and make sure you block the ads that pretend to be download links.

    OR

    If you want to seed (upload the files you download from the torrent) back to other people like you, then use fennec, the same as above, but use the torrent sites linked in the mega thread instead of direct download sites and use a torrent client like libretorent on the F-droid repo to add the magnet links or torrent files you get from these sites. It will start downloading the files and also uploading the parts you have downloaded to other people that want them.

    I always recommend a VPN and on android you can turn on always on VPN and and block connections without VPN in android settings but that’s up to you and what your country is like when it comes to piracy

    OR

    Others might be able to suggest a streaming setup? But I don’t stream anything so can’t help you there
