Popcorn Time BitTorrent Protocol Special Notes & Alert

Make sure that your device has adequate storage space available before using Popcorn Time APK. Popcorn Time utilizes BitTorrent technology which downloads portions of the media file in advance of playback.

If adequate empty storage space is not available the download cache can cause buffering or freezing of your stream while watching. The cache that holds this data will be automatically emptied when exiting Popcorn Time. No other actions are required on your part to free up space used by the Popcorn Time App while streaming videos.

Another important thing to note when using the Popcorn Time App is that the BitTorrent technology used to stream works both ways. As Popcorn Time downloads the video streaming file and makes it available to you, it also makes the file available to other Popcorn Time users from your device. Some, but not all of the video sources presented by Popcorn Time are not properly licensed for use in this way.

In many locations, this sharing of unlicensed video media is against the law and can get you in significant trouble. Always be sure to research the laws in your region. It is also wise to protect yourself by using Popcorn Time anonymously with the Surfshark app.
