Disclaimer

bashflix is under development. If you want the newer features or bugs fixed, run bashflix update from time to time. Some torrents (and subtitles), specially older ones, will not be found or will have few peers, which will make the video stop multiple times. Sometimes, waiting a bit for the video to download works. Downloading files via torrents might be illegal, depending on the content, so be aware of copyright infringements. Use a VPN for privacy.
