I use Popcorntime mostly for my tv shows. Works great. Also use a VPN app so that I can watch the UK shows on BBC iplayer and ITV player.

Showbox used to work great, but has been giving me problems lately.

Anyone know any good torrenting apps that will download from sites like Pirate Bay?

Thanks. I don't have a computer (haven't used one in over 3 years).

I just stream my downloads to the tvs by either chromecast, Roku, or the one tv that has built in plex.

When I did have a computer, I used pirate bay. Why do you say don't use it?

The pirate bay circa 2004-10ish? was good. There were instances were the site went down and came back up without all the porn ads and such leading to speculation it had been compromised by a government entity (read: US). Then, recently, a bunch of fake pirate bay sites popped up around the internet pretending to be the original but instead full of malware and what not. At this point many folks consider it a real gamble to torrent from the pirate bay.

I think the best current torrent site is kickass.

Also, be safe and use a VPN
