NoshowJones Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I am using Torrent Galaxy and Pirate Bay for streaming, and am very pleased with them, but there is always the odd movie or TV show I cannot get, so I started looking at other sites and came across Kickass, it seemed very impressive and a TV show I was looking for was there. i tried to stream the show and then they asked for my bank details, for a site that is boasting about so many members, are people that stupid that they actually give them their bank details? Do these people not realise that for a free site, they must have a way of taking money from your account, or why do they ask for your bank details in the first place?

Popular Post 2long Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 I use KickAss, but I scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for a show or movie and click on 'get torrent' and with today's wi-fi speeds, a full 1010p movie can be ready in 10 minutes. As for donating or streaming, no thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eindhoven Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hmmm...how can one explain to the OP that whatever he clicked on, has nothing to do with the Torrent website? Perhaps someone can explain to him what 'streaming' actually means and why he doesn't need to pay anything to connect to a Torrent there. https://kickasstorrents.to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried that but it does not work, I must be doing something wrong, but no way am I giving anyone my bank details unless I know what I am getting and I approve of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 One expression I have vowed to stop using is "no one is THAT stupid." I made this promise to myself in November of 2016. Sometimes I think it, then I have to correct myself. But otherwise thanks for the update, I didn't know KAT was back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze666 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm sure Torrent Galaxy and Pirate Bay will be overjoyed that you are very pleased with their free service. Very humble of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how did you get from the Magnet link to a sign up page? You must have clicked on something. Clicking on anything else will result in you being forwarded to an unrelated service. Better to 'right click' and copy the Magnet link; rather than just clicking an hoping nothing will go wrong. You keep using the term, "streaming"; are you actually streaming or just downloading to your device for playing later. Streaming is a very specific action; but you appear to be using it for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just downloaded or streamed all the seasons of Perry Mason, I think over 300 episodes, it took at least two days. I do download/stream, then store in my external hard drive for watching later. As one poster has said, maybe it isn't Kickass at all, but it looked the same as the kickass link you had already given me. I just can't see anyone giving them their bank details, but they are still in business, so people obviously are using them free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you check the difference. If you don't, you'll keep confusing people by utilising the term Streaming when you actually meaning Downloading. Streaming means viewing without downloading the media beforehand. So now you know. Once again, the redirect has nothing to do with Torrents. It's just a subscription service that no one needs. You still didn't explain as to how you get from the Magnet link to the redirect. It can only be because you clicked on Download or some such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Town Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Kickass got shut down a few years back. Several other versions started up, but some were dubious for the exact reason you describe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only click on the Magnet link if you have an application associated with it. Since I don't have any software linked to Torrents on my devices, I 'right click' and copy then paste the Magnet link into the interface I utilise.
