Who here doesn't give a damn about streaming services and still torrents all their movies and TV shows?

I will not confirm nor deny my relationships with torrents.

But fuck streaming

My internet connection is one of the reason why I keep torrenting

Nope for either. @C0D4 shares his collection with me once a month on 102,400 floppy disks.

@Jilano you haven’t sent that package back this month, guess you don’t want fresh content 😏

@irene easier to send floppies internationally, just a giant zip broken over 1.4mb - works better then encrypting the drive.

Sonarr / Radarr projects are simply amazing!!! i think they are the best trade off between manuall torrenting and streaming... except the fact you need mono to run them in non uindowz env 😒😔

@Jilano @C0D4
And I suppose you send them in separate envelopes, right?

And if some get lost you request things like: "can you resend me the clip starting at 15mins and 12 seconds and 5 seconds forward of Westworld season 2 episode 5? Floppy disk 15382 got lost in the mail..."

That's illegal.
Why not pay for the movie if you liked it?
Streaming does not cost much at all and the quality is far better than any shaky early realeases on torrent sites.

You'd not like it either if you wrote software and then some people steal it and put it on torrent sites.

@okkimus number system
1/~250,000 sent in batches of 100.
This way on any intercepts they only have a partial copy of the content and not the entire package that could be then brute forced to get past any encryption.

I hope no ones taking this seriously??

@PonySlaystation I respect that, but streaming is not the answer when you do not have high speed Internet and you spend more time buffering then you do watching, oh and why would you bother getting shitty cam quality rips.

@C0D4 Valid point

Ever since I actually started having a decent wage at my job, I've moved away from torrents...

At least when a stream, a (small) share of the revenue goes to the artist.....

I've also got a patreon ' budget' set up

@joykill This guy gets it. If you torrent everything eventually you'll only have shit to torrent.

Here's what I do.
1. Check Netflix,
2. Check Amazon,
3. Check Google Play
4. Check YouTube
5. Assume the producers/actors/network don't care to make money on the show/movie anymore.
6. Torrent

@irene A man has to get his dose somehow! And no, like the others said, the floppy disks have proven to be the best way to share our "precious data".

@C0D4 Looks like we've given some ideas to others!

@CodeMonkeyG Pretty much! How do I love Netflix for releasing the entire season in one go...

@irene My shot of "oddly obtained" video content.

I torrent while I also pay for a subscription service.

That service is very limited as for content hence why I also torrent.

I'd love to only do everything as for watching movies etc legally but that'd require me to have at least three active subscriptions and that's a hell no.

I'm an American but I lived in South Korea for many years. Best way to get content was torrents. But back in America the networks just suck ass. Way too slow to make the possibility of legal issues worth the trouble. Residential internet in Korea was really cheap - $20/mo including TV and phone - and super fast. In America the monthly cost of that kind of internet is more expensive than streaming

@linuxxx me too. I only have Amazon prime which does not have a good collection. Netflix just goes over my budget for entertainment. I'd rather torrent.

Are you insinuating something illegal here, Sir? We do no such thing!

@irene I'd rather call him security superhero. Not all heroes wear capes.

@irene There's the old Irene again, always up for a debate. 😄
It was just my opinion, thatswhy I wrote "I would rather...". 😉

Nope I stream legally
