sudo wget -O /tmp/z.$$ https://get.popcorntime.sh/build/Popcorn-Time-0.4.4-linux64.zip && unzip -d /opt/popcorn-time /tmp/z.$$
It's not working

Link is not working that's why it's not working. Try below code and let me know and also there is direct link available here https://popcorn-time.tw/linux.html

sudo wget -O /tmp/z.$$ https://dl.popcorn-time.tw/Popcorn-Time-linux64.tar.xz && unzip -d /opt/popcorn-time /tmp/z.$$

Hope it's helpful
