This is why normies don't belong on the internet. Sonarr is a godsend compared to what we had before and they don't even realize what they're passing up.
tl;dr: It watches RSS feeds, passes the torrents on to your downloader of choice. Will handle upgrading to higher resolutions if a better upgrade come along along with renaming, etc.. You have it dump into the same directory that Plex/Jellyfin is watching and you've got your own personal streaming service. There's an equivalent for movies: https://radarr.video and also ones for music/books/porn.
Don't have to find compatible sub file, don't have to look for quality, don't have to worry about hardcoded subs, viruses, and the time it would take to download 6 - 30Episode seasons.
Not being about to browse content and watch the first episode to see if you like it, reading people's reactions to episode and general seasons.
Tell me why would you ever torrent if you could stream it?
generally speaking, you just have to use a halfway decent torrent site (speaking of...is pirate bay still around? it's been a while...), and the comments will tell you before you even touch the magnet link whether it's worth your time or not.
Now, granted, you have to be able to spot legit vs bs comments (hint: you can't just see a tl;dr comment and assume it's legit, you have to actually read through it and gage the info according to the content of the text wall)
all I'm saying is dont assume a text wall is legit.
for instance, if the comments go into detail about problems with the rip, subs, etc., and there are other comments that corroborate (without being straight up copypasta), you can usually gage.
if the comments (if any) are generally favorable, it's usually a worthwhile torrent.
Why not just torrent?
Because anything that doesn't look like a one-tap phone UI confuses and angers the zoomer.
Try explaining something like Sonarr to them and their eyes glaze over.

Not heard of Sonarr before. What's the overview?

Neat! Thank you for the tip, I appreciate it!
I mean, Deluge is extremely easy to use.
Low IQ thinking.
Nah, SD cards are cheap (notice how most phones got rid of them tho). Normies are just that lazy
You're probably right. I always forget about phone users.
I use one of these when I wanna hook a regular usb device to my phone (it's an android) . as long as your phone supports OTG mode, you can go from that to a usb capable hard drive. (though you may need to plug the hard drive into the wall)
Streamed videos and downloaded torrents take the same amount of bandwidth for the same quality.
If you delete it after, it takes the same amount of space too.
I don't understand why people can't just download episodes with fansubs and keep them archived forever. This is why I refuse to stream stuff.
Same. I’m always confused when people say you can’t pirate this or that because in my experience you always still can.
That said, Crunchyroll and such are pretty cheap and decent, and you can just watch with ads.
Legal risk. Streaming is either legal or a gray area that doesn't get prosecuted. Uploading via torrents on the other hand gets prosecuted.
Then go use an XDCC bot or other direct download. This shit's been around for literally decades now.
For real. I've been downloading anime since the days of dial up and have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Streaming is 100x more convenient that's why.

🤣
Subs are built in on downloaded files just like on streams?
That's true with streams as there is no quality to be found, torrents are clearly labelled as to which aren't shit though
Hardcoded subs haven't been a thing in decades
You're downloading video files
Streams download at approx 1x, literally any other method is faster
Just prioritize the first episode?
Literally what the comments on torrent sites are for
Is this some kind of bizarro troll post I've fallen for?
Unfortunately this site is an offshoot of reddit, so basic technical competence and logical thought are rarer here than you probably expect.
Reddit was always full of web2.0 goons that don't belong.
Everything you said is a flat out lie.
No harcoded subs? Really you know every single anime torrent has 0 hardcoded subs? Erroneous
Viruses can be in video files...so you are actually a retard. Got it.
Quality: even if it says 1080 it isn't all the time
Time: takes longer, what exactly am I wrong about? Moronic
Prioritize the first episode? Still 100x easier STREAMING
you basically just replied with "nuh uh!"
What a low IQ response to objective facts about time and convenience.
Tell me you are not a child without telling me 😂
🤡
You don't have to buffer and can seek around instantly.
? You have to find and download a torrent, I just click play and I never buffer....
If you have shitty internet then torrent is superior, if everything works fine then streaming is superior.
What's hard to understand?

I've used torrents for over 20 years and that is just not true for 90% of torrents.
Most of the torrents I dl have zero comments or just "thanks!"
