Torrent system is alive and well. Mega shout out to seedhost.eu for their one-button panel for everything.
VLC will even open media over http, so one doesn't even have to mirror it locally from the Netherlands (although I do for the kids content, just to provide them a curated selection).

Not just alive and well but massively better. Open source software to do everything from watchlisting movies, downloading them when they are available in the highest quality and just seamless media management. Everything is so much better with piracy.
