Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

    Uh-huh. Wait till you realise that the 1080p streams you saved a decade ago have a higher file size, lower bitrate, and noticeable encoding artefacts. Compare that to the 1080p streams you can get from various cartoon sites today, and you shall see that you’ve bamboozled yourself!

    (I mean, you can just update your archive with newer higher quality stuff, but I need this moral grandstanding)

      How is it moral to pay for a service that doesn’t give you the option to buy a physical copy?

        I’m not saying it is. I’m saying you lose on quality with archived rips.
