Here is where Zona blows Popcorn Time out of the water: After selecting a movie or TV series, another page appears showing about anything you might have wanted to know about the show. “The app appears to have access to many, many thousands of movies pulled from torrent sites around the web.” “While Popcorn Time was restricted to content indexed on YTS, Zona has no such limitation,” TorrentFreak pointed out. Streaming a movie started almost immediately with Popcorn Time Zona takes a minute before enough buffering happens so the movie will stream. If you choose to download a movie with Zona, you keep the download as you would in a regular torrent client whereas streaming with Popcorn Time meant the torrented download disappeared after restarting your PC.

The 300 TV channels can be filtered by country as well as by quality. Let’s compare them the top screenshot is Popcorn Time and the one below it is Zona.īesides offering 6,500 movies, Zona also has 5,000 TV series, 300 TV channels, 550 radio stations, music, sports broadcasts and online games. Zona – a piracy app hailing from Russia – includes more details and many more choices. Popcorn Time was gorgeous, offering a nice Netflix-like user interface that made illegal activity like downloading movies very easy.
