Video playback is occasionally jittery and the files do not seem to support advance audio codecs. Popcorn Time is not perfect, but it’s damn close. Since the program is open source, hopefully it will make its way onto the Apple TV and other set-top boxes. Popcorn Time very well could signal the rebirth of the HTPC the way Boxee did years ago. It installs like any other program and doesn’t require any special network configuration. The program is currently in beta and available for Linux, OS X 10.7, and Windows 7 and above. Like any good technology, it’s like magic to the user. But instead of using a Torrent downloader like Utorrent and then forcing the user to playback the file in a media player, Popcorn Time does all of that in the background. These are the same files available to download on sites like The Pirate Bay and others. Popcorn Time works by streaming torrents. The developers are trying to find a new host.

UPDATE: The hosting service for Popcorn Time’s installer pulled the file.

Captain Philips, Dallas Buyers Club, and the Bridge on the River Kwai are there.

Frozen, American Hustle, Gravity - even Delivery Man if you’re a touch masochistic.

Everything from first run movies to classics like Hook are available to watch. Think of Popcorn Time like Netflix, just with movies worth watching.
