I use one, but its a cheap legacy contract and I literally just torrent there, seed till I have a ration if 1 and then download to my own hardware

Sounds cool, maybe I will try this when I play around with piracy tools again

Sounds like streaming from a streaming site with extra steps. But yeah when I torrent I use a cheap seedbox and then download from there to my own hardware.

I feel like all people recommending torrenting here are not really understanding the users of those streaming portals. I use them because I dont want to torrent the newest anime epiaode every week and I dont want any automated torrenting setups, because every mistake/fuck up might result in a 3 to 4 digit fine.

I torrent when it actually makes sense for me (high quality or offline viewing) and stream the rest. I am grateful for all those that provide me with those streaming sites and I regularly recommend them to friends after I install an adblocker for them.

I dont think Telegram is something that I would call an “encrypted messenger”
