Popcorn Time for iOS
Popcorn time has gained immense amount of popularity over the last couple of months being caled “the netflix of torrents” offering thousands of movies and TV shows to watch for free using the bit-torrent protocol. The reason why it is such a huge success is because with standard torrent clients you have to download the full movie before being able to watch it, with Popcorn Time you can start watching it immediately and it will “stream” the torrent to your computer.
The app is currently already available on Mac, Linus, Pc and Android. You can download it from the official Popcorn Time website
