        Does this operate similarly to vlc-bittorrent or is it just clearnet streams of torrents?

          I dont know what that is. This just uses bittorrent to stream things.

          It has a UI like Netflix but doesn’t tell you to watch something else shitty when its not in their library, because it has all the torrents.

          Also subtitles “just work”. I really dont understand how they do it, but its fantastic.

            vlc-bittorrent is meant to stream bittorrent files on VLC. So yes the two are similar.
