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).

One problem is that nobody is ripping UHD versions of these shows/movies. This is one reason I still pay for Netflix/Prime. After seeing UHD/HDR/DV on a large OLED I can't go back. "Quality" OCD kicks in.

This isn't true in my experience, but if you'd like to share a couple examples of shows that you weren't able to find, I'd be willing to verify whether UHD rips exist
