      Yeah. Back in the day you used to wait for your movies to download before you watch them. Now I have Stremio or at least sequential downloads.

        Even then, you can just wait around 10-40 minutes in most cases for a 3-5 GB movie to download.

        I usually just start a download and search for a torrent on my phone that’s connected to Radarr/Sonarr on my PC.

          Huh. That’s not my experience. I usually watch like 8 gb rips of movies and I can watch them right away even though I pay for the cheapest speed my provider has which in practice is like 30 Mbit/s.

            I have gigabit and I only download movies via Radarr and movies are automatically moved using a hard link from the download folder to the Plex folder on completion. And I’m never in a hurry anyways to watch a movie so I don’t care.
