    Torrents tend to be more reliable quality; around here, they’re both equal in legality/illegality, and you don’t have to think about your Internet connection.

    The actual trick is having done it earlier, not trying on the couch right beforehand.

      In many places there is a big legal distinction between consuming and distributing copyrighted content, when torrenting you are doing both.

      Torrent is more reliable than paid a services like Prime Video. My wife got pissed watching one of her shows on Prime. It kept on buffering and quality was trash. I torrented the entire season, put up a JellyFin server. She was so happy.

      Tldr: Prime video is trash.
