No. I stopped using torrents a couple days after I started using Usenet, and nowadays I download anything new that I’m interested in as soon as somebody uploads it, which is usually an hour or two after it airs/releases. Anything upcoming I see that interests me I pop into the relevant *arr app, and then I get notified when it’s downloaded later. I’m sure there are people who have experienced the situation in your example, but since I only search for new and upcoming media, I’m not a good person to ask. I don’t peruse anything really obscure either, mostly mainstream fantasy and sci-fi. Things like Star Wars, Wheel of Time, The Expanse, and stuff like that. I know, I’m boring, but I can’t help what makes me happy.
Hour or two? Thats unacceptable. If theres a new episode or season of some show coming out I need it within few minutes which is what (private) torrents give you
You have your way to get content, and I have mine. The only difference is, my way doesn’t rely on other people to get what I want. I just get it, with no other considerations beyond what to pick to watch. And I’m immensely fine with that level of sheer effortlessness.
Kudos to you on finding a cool internet club though. Best of luck to your ratio, or whatever you folks are keeping track of these days!
