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
I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
The newer AV1 codec has me very interested in HQ streaming. You need a monster machine to make the file, but then it’s 2GB for a high quality 1080p movie.
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).
