To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

Finally, someone speaking sense on a piracy community. So many people around these communities constantly push the .arr suite without ever mentioning that it just isn't worth the time or resources to set up for a single individual watching on their personal computer lol. It honestly gets really grating after a while. It's like you said, these programs are best utilized by media collectors and people serving media to groups of users, like a family. For most average users, Stremio with the Torrentio plug-in is all they need.

Let me tell you, the honest passion you have when speaking about Stremio warms my old salty heart. Wishing you good wind and luck in pursuit.

I've actually never used Torrentio. I search for things on torrent sites by hand. I will have a look at it though.
