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.
