Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

      Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

      Thanks for the suggestion though!

        Hmm it’s not very “haha funny,” it’s more the vibe of it and the charm lies in his mundane but interesting demeanor. Watch a clip on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean. I have no idea how deafness would affect the experience, I’m sorry.

      Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

      I was using torrent galaxy.

        IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol for messaging and XDCC is a file sharing method that it uses.

        IRC: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/k08hje/when_people_say_irc_is_dead

        Usenet is basically the first forum to exist on the internet and people discovered that they could share files by encoding them into messages, for example lets say I take a file encode and divide it over a 1000 tweets. I would also make a file called NZB to find the messages and share it, so people could download it. Usenet still exists for file sharing, but it is paid. You would need an indexer that finds the files and a usenet service. Honestly you could get both indexer and the usenet service for as cheap as $2.5 per month way cheaper than Netflix.

    Man, I gave up on torrenting. I can’t figure out how to keep my ISP from seeing it and every time I try, I get a threatening email. They don’t give a shit about Soulseek, apparently, so at least I have my music.

    Uh-huh. Wait till you realise that the 1080p streams you saved a decade ago have a higher file size, lower bitrate, and noticeable encoding artefacts. Compare that to the 1080p streams you can get from various cartoon sites today, and you shall see that you’ve bamboozled yourself!

    (I mean, you can just update your archive with newer higher quality stuff, but I need this moral grandstanding)

      How is it moral to pay for a service that doesn’t give you the option to buy a physical copy?
