Yup, and this is just for a single show... another show can have a different combination of hoops. For a while it felt like streaming services were seriously competing with the convenience of torrents, but I just can't be bothered with the mess it's become, the dark UX patterns, the anti-linux... the anti-user. I realised that when I started torrenting shows again that i technically had paid for that the streaming services had lost it again.
- Melatonic 4y agoYeah I agree in general - torrents originally didnt even get big because people wanted things for free - it was just way easier. Click a few buttons, wait a few minutes, done.
- black_puppydog 4y agoActually if you tell your client to load the pieces sequentially, and load the last piece first, and if you use a sane OS (like, not Windows) then you can skip the "wait a few minutes" part, you can start watching pretty much instantly. Or so I'm told :P
