While Popcorn Time was restricted to content indexed on YTS, Zona has no such limitation. This enables switching between English and often Russian audio, plus the toggling of various subtitles. The movie is first presented in a small non-intrusive window in the left corner of the app, but this can be expanded to any size, including full screen.Įagle-eyed viewers will note the ‘audio and subtitles’ text on the bottom right of the window above. If the former is chosen there is a wait of between a few seconds and a minute while enough buffering takes place.
When selecting a movie a choice can be made – to stream Popcorn Time-style, or to download to the PC like a regular torrent client.
Here’s the page for the Creative Commons movie, Big Buck Bunny. If that fails, directly under each movie is the title in clear English.Ĭlick those titles and new page will appear, detailing everything people might want to know about the movie including its date of production, iMDb rating, genre, actors (including photos), runtime, and other sundry details. Much of the artwork depicted is pulled from Russian sources, so for non-speakers a reliance on movie covers will be required. Once setup is complete, users are presented with the following screen, movies up first. If users want it to become their standard torrent downloader that option is available too, but advanced users will probably prefer the flexibility of their regular client. Getting the thing working is child’s play too, just make sure it’s being allowed through your firewall after setup. Zona hails from Russia but fear not, its 27mb installer appears in standard English. It’s called Zona and could very well ignite an even bigger storm. Let’s not take anything away from it, Popcorn Time is pretty neat, but the software just introduced to TorrentFreak goes much, much further. Nothing came close.Įxcept all along something else did – and then some. The software was undoubtedly a game changer and the most simple and elegant way of downloading and viewing content using torrents. The tale has enjoyed twists and turns in buckets, not to mention controversy and mystery. Popcorn Time has had more than its fair share of press since it appeared earlier this year.
