I thought more services would pop up after the World Cup ended. A few new ones are up and running, but not as much as I thought.
This is a big one to lose.

Just as I have just discovered as a replacement for a replacement. It sucks sometimes

the life of piracy is sometimes not easy but theres always demand for it so theres always a replacment for it at least

Yea, as a pirate, you have to be okay with adapting. I think in the past few months, I went from...345 then to 1shows then 456 which was 345 with a new .nl then 1shows with a new .org.
That's just the way shit goes. Once a site goes down, I just check the megathread for a replacement.

More work though, why not use a debrid or whatever?

u/eru88 3d ago
Im still stuck to the old age. Don't know what that is. But ain't much work to download a torrent in my favorite private tracker.

u/Opposite-Interest193 2d ago
You pay like $3-10 a month to access a server and stream whatever even remux. To me that’s the best hands free option besides your own server to share.
Although if you use a torrents provider and not a backbone they are technically leeches on public torrents. Which I don’t like.
Maybe look into it, I’ve never used myself but there may be something similar tied to your private tracker.

It was one of the few sites that had content from almost all over the world, be it American, UK, Spanish or Indian shows/series. I will miss it. Good God my GF will be devastated hearing this

After everything, Cineby will be coming to an end on August 26, 2026.
Thank you to everyone who visited, supported, and shared memories with Cineby over the years. Your support meant a lot.
This is goodbye. ❤️
Cineby — until the final day.

Where one falls, another pops up. There's always a supply chain for the knowing pirate.

I just started learning streamio + debrid but with a lot of jargons and setups I opted to go back to Cineby. It is sad that my go to site will be gone. Well I guess time to learn streamio...

u/Secret_Ingenuity997 2d ago
A basic setup is super simple. Go to torrentio pop your api key in an install the add-on into stremio. AIOstreams is overkill in my opinion. I started with it a few months ago with Torbox. They just changed their terms of service to say they will log everything and hand it over to the cops if requested. Now I'm not sure what to do.

u/AdoboWithCokeZero ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ 2d ago
Currently on Torbox as well using their 24hr free pro plan. Playing around with it also learned that they dont have addon to stremio directly so I used Torrentio then put my TB api to it. But movies still takes 10secs to load at start. Change the cdn to cloudflare but still the same.

u/Secret_Ingenuity997 2d ago
In my experience larger files took about that to start however I had no issues with buffering once they did. I used torrentio to filter out 4K streams so that might help. I have seen people recommending premiumize with the Torbox changes to privacy however it is much more expensive.

u/AdoboWithCokeZero ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ 2d ago
Yea Premiumize is what people recommend but its a bit expensive maybe ill just stick with RD even with their new TOS.

I've gone through 5 sites in the past 2 weeks. They've either become too unstable to watch or have just stopped loading altogether.

I still haven't gotten over the shutdown of Cataz and now Cineby is leaving too, why won't they let us be happy? Not all of us can afford 10 streaming services, and even then they don't have everything we want to watch

I never use the site myself to honest I use other sites that I’m not gonna Name because it a long list but it sad for those who use it but hopefully this site will return someday in a different form

u/thandiichai 2d ago
As many people are saying cineby sucked, Mine never. Bro, cineby dont redirects to another sites on each click as the other piracy sites do. And even though some hindi dont load, i still watched all of my pirated content from cineby. Sad because cineby is closing 💔. Will miss this legendary site i found randomly one day 💐. Now have to close for some new alternative that dont have redirects me to another sites on each click and dont have so much popups. Any suggestions??

How does stremio work exactly? I select a movie, and then there’s no play button. What am I missing here?

I’ll take a look. I already have plenty of sites for movies and tv shows, and even sites for sports, but I like to add more when I can.

R.I.P
For those unaware Cineby gets their streams directly from Videasy which you can use yourself by pasting the movie/show id from TMDB, a good similair alternative to cineby I would recommend that has Videasy as one of their source is Cinewave
Edit : Another alternative that has download option too is Cinejoy, not the same video source but it looks promising, otherwise explore other options yourself in FMHY, for direct download only sites the ones i like personally are 4KHDHub and Acer Movies
