This new thing utilises Torrents-Time, which is a plug-in for your browser, which was used by Popcorn Time, which is growing in popularity after people started calling it “Netflix for torrents”. That’s exactly The Pirate Bay has done. It is already the world’s second largest torrent site after KAT and now it has become the world’s largest streaming portal.

With The Pirate Bay jumping on board, Torrents-Time has received a huge shot in the arm and will probably enjoy some decent revenues too.
Meanwhile, Torrents-Time informed TorrentFreak that Kickass Torrents, Torrentproject.se, Online.porntime.ws and Videomax.is will add Torrents-Time plug-in on their websites.
In addition to allowing you to download movie torrents, The Pirate Bay has now added a “Stream it!” button as one of the options. It creators, according to the report, call this Web version a “real revolution of the original “Popcorn Time” and based on its appeal and functionality”.
Before using the Torrents-Time plugin, users have to install a small client, which launches a pop-up window every time they want to stream a file online.
Popcorn Time Online was the first to adopt the Torrents-Time technology, which brought it back to life.
As illustrated in the image above the Torrents-Time links are labeled “Stream It!”
Until now, fans of the world’s most famous illegal file sharing website have had to download movies via torrent software before they could watch them.
With KickassTorrents and The Pirate Bay on board along with a slew of other torrent websites, this new gateway to piracy will be going strong for many years to come. If you harbor the patience for those files to upload, all your TV shows, movies or any other video file can be directly viewed in your browser.

We’ll keep you posted on the arrival of the squeaky clean Project Butter as well as the status of Popcorn Time in the coming months. The developers are now testing Safari and should arrive in a few weeks. Even though you can’t see what’s going on, Torrents Time effectively turns your browser into a torrent client. “It’s “watching together” or “Co-Watch” technology, made possible by Torrents Time”.
