roommate freaking out that all of his "watch anime online" sites keep going down

tell him people just need to use nyaa.si

he tells me "i wouldn't be surprised if that is down too now"

all i could do was laugh

@WandererUber yeah I'll usually download a season or series, watch it, then delete it.

it's a bit of a hassle compared to just going to the latest working streaming site and just pressing play, which in essence downloads the episode and then deletes it.

It's not a BIG hassle, but I guess that's why people prefer streaming.

@WandererUber it is more of a hassle for sure, but it's absolutely worth it because a lot of those sites are extremely annoying to use and they also don't have great quality.

@WandererUber people prefer streaming because they don't actually know how to do anything else

probably true for most of them. I was hoping I just "didn't know" the trick to make torrenting a bit less of a hassle. PopcornTime used to exist but that shut down.

@WandererUber I know you can stream while downloading if the client and the file type supports it, and the download is fast enough. Tried it once with a movie but the download was too slow.
