~10 years ago I wanted to be able to take advantage of watching video on this newfangled iPhone thing, but most content was not yet readily available or purchasable in a format that could be played - specifically I wanted to watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report. I had a chain of apps and scripts which would watch for a forum torrents of those, download them, use handbrake to convert them, add them to my iTunes library, then generate new .torrent files and post the mobile friendly versions back to the forum (gotta keep that ratio up). Things are much easier and less legally sketchy nowadays :)
