Anyone in China? Do they still have those dvd carts on the streets? Or did they lose out to streaming?

What about torrents and such? Have they been blocked by the firewall or is pirated movies still readily available online?



No DVD carts, but NAS is somewhat popular. Xunlei or BaiduPan is insanely popular.


In fact, you can paste a .torrent file into your baidu drive and it’ll download the torrent for you right into your drive. If someone else has already downloaded the same torrent then it basically appears instantly.

The catch is that the only fast way to download files from your baidu drive is to install the client on your computer, which I’d only do inside a VM.


I’m assuming NAS is a local server with a hard drive.

What is is Xunlei and BaiduPan?
