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?

couple hours? oftentimes a torrent with zero seeders is as good as dead, and a seeder might show up in days or weeks, most times never. best to find another torrent. also, and this is just a personal preference it's worth the download time to kick it up a notch to 1080.

It doesn't hurt to keep the torrent running if you can't find another source. There is still a very small chance that someone will seed it eventually. I've had stuff download after waiting for months.

In general? Yes, 100%. For cartoons on a small screen? Debatable.

That is one of the reasons why I relay on usenent rather then on torrenting
