Indeed, according to VirusTotal, those three don’t block Zona. Zona claims to have a “security guarantee,” followed by Norton, Kaspersky and AVG icons. I’m not a fan of Java and Zona is a closed-source Java application. That was the “good news,” but here is the bad and what I don’t like about it. Another cool offering is that Zona version 1.0.4.6 has an Android version, according to TorrentFreak, but I didn't try it out. You can also change the theme as there are three options for the Zona UI appearance. The video quality was excellent as you can see in the screen capture below. Under settings, the preferred language can be tweaked and even setup to hide movies and TV series not in English, or your preferred language. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug had 149 sources in English and Russian with subtitles also available. Whatever title you select, it starts streaming in a small box in the lower left corner, but it can be opened in another window and maximized to full screen. If you click on Peter Dinklage, then “more” movies featuring the Game of Thrones star appear. The list of download sources shows quality, size, resolution and language. This includes the description, rating and other details you would normally see on IMDb, as well as related movies and TV series. 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 Zona website claims there are 1,000,000,000 hours of music, but accessing it first requires logging in via vk.com and I passed on setting up an account to check it out. 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.
