I mean… when did it stop being huge?

It’s just back to business as usual.

I feel like all people recommending torrenting here are not really understanding the users of those streaming portals. I use them because I dont want to torrent the newest anime epiaode every week and I dont want any automated torrenting setups, because every mistake/fuck up might result in a 3 to 4 digit fine.

I torrent when it actually makes sense for me (high quality or offline viewing) and stream the rest. I am grateful for all those that provide me with those streaming sites and I regularly recommend them to friends after I install an adblocker for them.

They are pointing to a solution, not saying streaming is bad.

Where are you that you could face such a steep punishment? Setting up safe, automatic tormenting is really easy

It’s legitimately a non issue, set the torrent software to only connect to the VPN end point

Why don’t you just use real debrid or something and stream the torrents remotely?

I am gonna give you a couple answers for that based on what I have read in other places such as Reddit, perhaps OP does not agree with them.

  1. RD or debrid services in general are paid services and it goes against their piracy beliefs (This is the silliest thing I could ever read… It only makes sense if you don’t care for quality and/or you haven’t tried a debrid service in your life).

  2. Streaming torrents even paired with debrid services or VPNs (not needed when using a debrid service, or in some countries for bare torrenting) is more cumbersome than just using a website (even in this day and age when Stremio exists), which I kinda agree with them… But you get what you pay for… Am I right?

  3. They just don’t have a clue of what a debrid service is.

Sounds like streaming from a streaming site with extra steps. But yeah when I torrent I use a cheap seedbox and then download from there to my own hardware.

Except that such an extra step is way better in quality and streaming speeds, compared to streaming sites, if you care about this or 1080p/4K high bitrate media.

As a matter of fact, since you can stream and also download torrents with a debrid service, I’d say paying a cheap seedbox (debrid services are cheap as well) is torrenting with extra steps… Without the ability to stream.

You could do a semi-automated system where you have all your currently airing in RSS, but still need to manually start them. It’d at least save you from having to go searching every time.

I use one, but its a cheap legacy contract and I literally just torrent there, seed till I have a ration if 1 and then download to my own hardware

That’s about what I’d expect 🤷‍♂️ What about the flow isn’t working for you? (genuine question and am happy to help 👍 )

So. What android apps and extensions are still best? Dantotsu with extensions seems hit and miss. Probably due to these takedowns.

Am I missing something or is Miru $13.99 for the Android app? Just want to make sure I’m looking at the right thing before I buy it. Also really surprised something like this is on Google Play.

I was using Aniyomi but I think ot’s almpst at the end without extension updates…

Yeah, it should be the right one

It’s free on desktop but because donation goal wasn’t hit he made it paid on android to cover for his time

It’s a seamless experience, but I would understand it if you pick streamio over it because it’s paid

Do streaming sites actually work for others? Like reliably? At least for me, sometimes they work okay, and I can watch a movie without any buffering, but most of the time I have to deal with lots and lots of buffering. Sometimes every few seconds even. Maybe it’s because of the VPN? Never tried it without. But then again, even with a VPN, I get around 75Mbps.
