On my old hardware Popcorn Time, which is basically peerflix with GUI + movie covers, runs like crap. I remember it running slowly even on a i5 quad core I owned in the past, but there it was acceptable, in fact I loved Popcorn time a lot back when it first came out.

Peerflix will run fast like a bunny on steroids even on a Pentium 2... Seriously, instead of waiting 30 seconds to load the damn thing, then search for the movie, then wait for a couple of minutes for the movie to start, I just issue the command, I aliased it to 'pf', so it's 'pf 'magnet' -k, with the eventual addition of '-s subtitle.srt'. In toto, 1 minute and the movie has started and the popcorn is crunched.

A neat CLI program for dem subtitles is subliminal ->


Try it and see, mate :)
