Sometimes I’m just too lazy for torrenting because downloading whole 8 seasons when I want to watch series is kinda off. Whenever I give chance to streaming it’s always low quality and sucks. I checked streaming links on reddit’s r/piracy, you know the wiki, year is 2025 and it’s still slow and sucks. Maybe I don’t know good sites. Can you link me up, and what do you think about streaming vs torrent way in general? Thanks guys.

      This has been working for me for a whilst however if one of the links in the chain goes down at some point then you have nothing to watch. I might even have to talk to my family!

      I’m gonna start considering local server. I remember the good old days of getting up in the middle of the night to check limewire.

        I used to run a Plex server locally, with content provided by Usenet. It was by far the most stable/robust experience I’ve had, but I like being able to watch whatever I want on a whim.

          Probs my next move. Waiting to move house and will likely do this…maybe with jellyfish. I am trying to degoogle and amazon and currently stremio is on firestick. Stremio has been great but as I said it’s not totally immune to outside factors. Thanks for the note. It helps that others have success and share so, it makes the leap seem smaller.

        In addition to what @[email protected] said;

        You don’t need to worry about a VPN, and I find the connection much more stable and less prone to flakiness due to seeders being on shitty ISPs.

        It isn’t as robust as Usenet, or a Plex/Jellyfin server, but it’s a lot more convenient in my experience.
