      Some things are only available on one or the other. Live sports, for example.

          Streaming. If you know of a way to download a game that hasn’t been played yet, you let me know.

      For a lot of people, especially young people, their phone is the only computer they have. For those folks streaming is often the only viable option.

      Because my ISP gets mad about torrents, I don’t usually rewatch things, I don’t have to wait for the download to finish, I can do it on my tablet, and I don’t want to deal with cleaning up old video files every time I need to make room for the next 100+GB game install.

        Not trying to convince you but you should use a VPN either way when pirating and you don’t have to wait if you enable sequential downloading. You just have to wait a few minutes depending on your connection. Your download speed also has to be at minimum as fast as the movie is playing

          if i had money to pay for a VPN i’d just use something like real debrid. and if my ISP is middlemanning my https certs then a VPN probably isn’t going to help much.

      Also, the level of effort to stream is as simple as a good browser, uBlock Origin, and having the URL.

      I’d really like to see a firefox-like browser that can download torrents and allow you to watch right in it.
