What is Elementum?

Elementum is a popular Kodi add-on that uses BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol, to stream high-definition movies and TV shows.

Note: Due to its P2P nature, Elementum utilizes both download and upload bandwidth while streaming. Depending on your location, using a VPN might be recommended to protect your privacy when using torrents.

Key Features:

  • Library integration
  • Trakt support
  • File downloads
  • Integrated subtitles
  • Automatic playback
  • Web interface to manage torrents

1. Downloading Elementum

First, let’s download Elementum’s repository zip file from its official website.

The new ElementumOrg stand-alone repository is recommended for installing Elementum. It will automatically detect your platform and install the appropriate files for it.

Go to Elementum’s official site and download the repository zip file by clicking on the All-in-one (repository.elementumorg-0.0.2.zip) link.
