Cuevana was an Argentine file sharing website that offers movies and television content in their original languages, with Spanish subtitles. [2] The site was created in October 2009 and as of 2011 was one of the 20 most visited websites in Argentina with half a million visits daily. [3]

Cuevana operates as a connecting hub that uses plugins to allow users to stream content. Cuevana claims not to store files itself, but makes it easy to reach content by linking to external online storage. This method of operation has created a strong debate on the matter of the legality of the operation. [4] [5]

On August 14, 2012, a download option was created, called DCuevana.

As of 2014, cuevana.tv distributed the software Cuevana Storm which, like Popcorn Time, operates as a torrent client that lets downloaders immediately watch a movie while simultaneously uploading it to others. [6]

The website was placed on the US notorious markets list in 2021. [7] As of 2022, it is reportedly operated from Venezuela. [8]
