This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Torrent. Phht. Who got the time for that. Sonarr/Radarr/emby(or whichever u prefer) Enter title, wait a minute (unless u r on slow net or prefer 4k remux) and watch. Enter Series-name,go to bed. Enjoy 12 full seasons tomorrow.

Totally hasslefree, no stupid trackers or missing seeder or waiting-time. Movie was posted 10yrs ago? No problem. Still there, still fullspeed. Device not certified for netfucks or rooted? Who cares?

And when your lady asks "why can we watch this, this is not on Netflix" you can reply "what is netflix? I'm a pro"

Doesn't this solution require downloading the file, reencoding and then it's available to watch? How do you only need one minute to start watching?

reencoding is not required in advance, it happens on the fly if needed.

download still needs to be completed first usually, but you can save a lot of time if you compromise in quality.

If i watch stuff from the outside on my phone,i really don't care for quality. Same when I'm at home watching some quick series. For "serious" stuff it takes a while longer. Need to wait some good more minutes for a bd-remux.
