Once I was with a girl and taking too long to get a torrent going so she whips out her phone and does it herself. Safe enough to say that we are together now.
Wow torrenting on a phone. I know it’s possible but I always thought it was slow or difficult.
It might have actually been a streaming site now remembering. She used a vpn to connect to Mainland China, typed some Chinese into a Chinese search engine and found it on a Chinese website.
On Android, Flud has been good to me over the years even though the ads can get annoying at times. Hopefully it helps you get Linux ISOs on your phone with ease :)
Man, I used that app in 2014… Still remember torrenting music on my phone one the way to Melbourne for a concert 😅
I’d suggest alternatives from fdroid over the play store.

Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
When you’re torrenting and you’re planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you’re watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can’t find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren’t going to be in the same room, you’ll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that’s low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally you’d block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.
Most popular movies have enough seeders to finish in 20 minutes where I live.
But if I were in OP’s shoes, I would just turn to streaming and forego the slightly better quality.
The movie isn’t the most important thing at that point.
I have none of these issues, but I use Usenet soo…
Honestly though if push comes to shove Stremio and RealDebrid can work wonders provided your internet is actually fast enough.
What’s with the “ooga booga woman scared by tech” meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it’s not like it’s underground.
And just have it downloaded? “Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then.” Then start the download. If it’s popular, you’ll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she’s that “confused” by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can’t imagine setting something up would make them leave? “Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a… A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???”
I don’t know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya’ll.
“What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?” Boy, bye
In the post the woman is not the butt of the joke for being tech illiterate (and I’d argue they aren’t presented as that), the joke is on Anon for insisting on using free/techy stuff rather than costly but convenient things and ruining the vibe of the evening. This could just as easily say “Anon, why are you still fiddling with the picture settings? It looks fine. Motion blur? I don’t know what that is. It looks fine. Just watch the movie.”
Don’t think it is about women being scared by tech, but “normies” only really knowing how to use Netflix to watch a movie.
Although that may be true the ‘normies’ I’ve spoken with about this aren’t necessarily stupid. They may just not have it on the radar because it’s not their interest, some show interest in how it works and at worst I’ve found they say oh that’s interesting it’s pirating right? And that’s it.
My coworker is super non tech savvy and has no interest and even she just says ‘it flies over my head but I trust you to get it done’.
4channers now a days aren’t even good at making up lies/making shit posts. All they can do is low level rage bait. Pathetic.
I like your comment because it tells me why I didn’t found this that much funny.
I’m choosing to interpret it as her getting skeeved out over anon not having their shit together.
>not downloading the movie in advance
>not knowing about the “download in sequential order” option on the client that lets you start watching quickly
That makes more sense 🤔 Guess jokes on me for assuming it was the other way lmao
