Popcorn Time, an application that lets users stream movies and TV shows directly from torrents without having to download them, has been upgraded to version 0.3.6 and is now available for download.

Popcorn Time disappeared for a short time and it seemed like the project was dead and buried. Fortunately, the developers of this app have managed to get things going once more and they are now pushing for updates on a regular basis. In fact, three major upgrades were made in the last couple of months, making the application much more stable and move versatile.

As you might imagine, using this application can be considered an illegal act, but that's not true for all countries. There are a few places on this Earth, like Portugal for example, which don't prohibit any kind of P2P sharing. This means that sharing a movie you're watching is fine, as long as you're in the right country. In any case, you should check if you're breaking the law before using Popcorn Time. At the very least, you are watching a movie for which you haven't paid, so it's most likely something immoral.

Popcorn Time gets better with each new release

Even if the app is using the BitTorrent engine, it doesn't mean that you can download the stuff that you're watching. Basically, if you have a high enough Internet speed, then application can get all the proper packages in the right order and the user can watch it just like a movie in a player.

"For the holidays this year we're giving you another gift. We're going to release Popcorn Time 0.3.6 for you all to enjoy! Once again we've done our best to squash all kinds of bugs, but we've also included new features this time around. The mighty beasts that are Chromecast and AirPlay we've once again attempted to tame, same goes for the subtitles loading issues."

"On top of all that, Popcorn Time 0.3.6 also includes a VPN. It's still in Alpha but it's working for us, so we've decided to let you all try it out. Let us know how it works! We hope you enjoy our gifts, have a wonderful Christmas or any other holiday you celebrate and have a wonderful New Year. We're looking forward to a great 2015 with you all!" is noted in the announcement.

You can download the latest Popcorn Time 0.3.6 release from Softpedia. This is a binary file and it doesn't need to be installed. All you have to do is to extract the files and run the application. If you already have the old version, just let it update on its own.
