How does the torrent work?

Before getting into the reasons for using streaming, it's good to understand what a torrent is. Torrent is a heap of metadata that, when placed in a program that performs its reading, connects to other computers that are sharing the data indicated by the file, and begins to download them.

There are many options for programs to download torrents , just as there are many sites to find and download them. All sites follow the same pattern: you search for something, it returns your available torrents . Sites like Pirate Bay, RARBG and Torlock follow this pattern and do not need registration. Some others, more exclusive and with files more difficult to find, need an account and have a minimum upload fee necessary for the user to continue using the site, as is the case with Bitsoup .

In programs to download torrents, we have eMule , a great known for those who had access to the internet in the early 2000s, which has an internal search engine, which allows you to search the files inside it. The qbittorrent is another program to download torrents, much lighter and is currently the most popular customer in the world to share and download torrents.

Streaming is safer than downloading movie torrents

By using streaming you avoid the hacker attack, as in the 1995 film with Angelina Jolie that is on iTunes

While downloading movie torrents may seem at first to be a cheaper option, there are many problems they can cause. One of them is that the downloaded files can actually bring viruses and other types of attacks to your computer, which can cause many problems to your PC, ranging from data loss to bank fraud.

Most streaming services are on private servers that only employees of the responsible companies have access to, and go through several verification steps to ensure that the connection is secure and the film being transmitted comes securely to the user. With that, downloading movies becomes an increasingly less necessary process.

Streaming takes full advantage of the connection speed

Streaming achieves the Maximum Speed of your connection - and the movie of the same name is available on Amazon Prime Video

The experience of choosing a movie at the video store is well replicated by streaming services. When you go to Netflix and choose a movie, for example, just press it and play, even being a little more comfortable than rental companies at the time since, we know, you needed to leave the house for that.

When you decide to download movie torrents or download series, things change the scene. In addition to choosing the movie, there is still a wait until the file is downloaded to your computer, which makes the process a little longer. There is still the risk that sometimes the film will be downloaded and the user will only see that it came without subtitles or in a language that he does not understand. Very inconvenient.

Concentrated content

You can find streaming movies with a few clicks - and the Click movie is waiting for you on HBO GO

Many people end up thinking that the wide range of streaming services nowadays can be a weak point, by taking away that feeling of having everything in the palms of the hand that Netflix in the middle of the past decade passed. But even with all that, it is still much easier to find content on services than on torrents.

Torrents for some films often require extensive research and may well lead to exposure risks for the user, since some sites that are options for downloading torrents are very suspicious, with many masks (when you click on something, it takes you to a completely different website) or fake download buttons. As for streaming, depending on the content you want, you know exactly which service to subscribe to.

There are also several streaming services or videos on demand for free, which feature a variety of titles that are not found on the major platforms. In Showmetech's guide to places to watch movies for free in 2021 , we’ve commented on some of them.

To legally watch the films

Brazilians who downloaded the movie Hellboy (2019) by torrent received a fine notification of R $ 3,000, but could have seen the film on Telecine Play or Looke

When you download a torrent, you are pirating a movie. In 2020, thousands of Brazilians who downloaded the films Hellboy (2019) and Rambo: Until the End received a fine notification in the amount of R $ 3 thousand reais. In addition, even those who download other films that are not receiving fines may eventually receive this surprise letter and have to shell out a large amount of money.

Streaming services, on the other hand, are official ways of watching movies, with all films that are on Disney + , GloboPlay and Netflix being legalized. By subscribing to any of these services, you are already paying to see the films available officially, and part of that money is also passed on to the producers of the films.

Image quality and technologies

Make the most of your television with the audio and video technologies available on streaming platforms

Streaming services like Netflix nowadays are able to adapt the quality of the content being transmitted to your television and internet connection. In the torrent, you should look for the version of the movie in the desired quality, which already affects the speed enough to be able to stop and watch the movie, since the higher the quality, the larger the file size and the more time to download it.

It is also important to note that technologies such as Dolby Vision, HDR and the like are normally already enabled within streaming services, if your device is compatible to activate these features, while in the torrent, it is one more detail that must be researched before downloading, and which also increases the file size.

Conclusion

In the end, from security to convenience, streaming services are a better tool for watching movies. Although torrents still find a lot of resistance, mainly due to their role in popular culture in the 2000s, the risks they pose, both in terms of data security and criminal security, are becoming increasingly obvious.
