    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.

      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.

      Miru is more convenient than even crunchyroll from what I experienced.

              My biggest issue with it was how it didn’t work well unless it was a flatpak, and even then apparently the dev has issues with the flatpak leaking ram

              Flatpak is now EOL, I might have to take care of that myself unfortunately

              (If you want to support the dev, the app is being sold on android, you can use it on your android TV)

      I miss the convenience.

      I busted off my convenience for a little bit when setting up Plex + Riven + Zurg (the same could be said about my Arr stack) after that huge learning curve it is all about convenience baby, I get all my stuff in all my devices with one single account, keep the progress of the full library even pair it up with services such as Trakt, and I can even share the love.

      I know there are ways to have torrents automatically download when they appear, so you could set it up to have your episodes download as soon as they’re ready and you can watch them at your convenience. I don’t recall how, but I know I’ve read about that, but never needed it myself. I’m sure it’s easy to find the resources online.

      If you want convenience, go for jellyfin/plex, radarr, sonarr, browlarr, usnet/torrent indexer and jellyseer.

      Nothing is more convenient.

      Sonaar with Plex/Jellyfin is about as convenient as you can get. The only thing missing from torrents, usenet, and now even Crunchyroll itself is comments.

    Thank God we have torrents, but what makes me most sad about this is that many of these sites have unique catalogs that torrents don’t have or that you can never get seeds from… being honest, I would 100% migrate to torrent if it didn’t have this small big problem.

    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.

        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
