新华网5月9日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道,你还记的爆米花时间吗?就是Netflix提供电影下载种子,后来自己“作死”的那个网站,你还记得吗?不过,它其实从未真正死去。这个公开电影下载资源的网站转变了一种生存方式,以手机应用app的方式,适用于苹果Mac,Windows还有Linux系统。今天终于推出了安卓版的爆米花时间!
这个app终于原始网站,基本上复制了原网站,用户在列表中选择好要下载的电影种子之后,稍加缓冲,这个app就开始下载电影了。不过,它的工作方法跟其他流媒体不太一样,爆米花时光app只是从其他网站中拼凑电影种子,确保下一段的下载保持顺畅。app与原网站最大的差别在于,这样一个公开资源的app基本上不会面临其前任的命运,除非因特网服务提供商拿着什么BT种子协议来从中作梗。
从技术上将,这么做恐怕不太合法,所以使用爆米花时间app也有一定的风险。小编自己也下载了一个,安装过程中谷歌并没有检测到任何恶意插件,不过还是有很多人担心这个应用程序的某些程序可能不怀好意。但有这样一个公开免费的种子下载app多好啊,有风险也是值得的。

Popcorn Time for Android: Stream Movie Torrents on Your Phone for Free
You remember Popcorn Time, the Netflix for torrents that suffered a self-inflicted death? Well, it never really died. The open source project lives on in the form a forked app version, available for download for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Today, it comes to Android. The app is a faithful reproduction of the original streaming website: Pick from a curated set of recent titles or search the catalog, then after a brief buffering period, the app streams like it was any other streaming service, which of course, it's not. It's simply piecing together the torrent from peers and ensuring what's directly ahead is loaded. The main difference from the original service is that, you know, it's an open source app so it can't ever really be killed except by some kind of ISP interference with the BitTorrent protocol.
Technically speaking, this might not be legal, so use Popcorn Time at your own risk. Google didn't detect anything malicious in the build I installed, but there are some concerns the app's devs might be up to no good. But Popcorn Time is also awesome, so maybe the risk is worth it. [Google Play]
