Minimalistic Linux torrent movie guide

Check if torrens are legal in your country. If they are, you can use the following minimalistic guide to download movies on Linux.

https://yts.mx is a good source for movies visited by 140 million users every month.

You can download the torrent file from the website and then use transmission-cli to download the movie.

transmission-cli movie.torrent

Then you can watch the movie with mpv.

mpv movie.mp4

or with vlc.

vlc movie.mp4

I prefer mpv because its ui disappear after short inactivity time. Enjoy the movie!
