I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.

    Depends on your hardware.

    Streaming is more accessible, but you’re stuck at 720p usually.

    If you can afford a vpn and the storage then torrenting gets you better quality.

    Don’t forget to seed

        The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).

          For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.
