Give me one legitimate reason why should I wait two hours to download an episode, when I can just instantly stream it with no visible difference in quality?
Protip: you cant.
>>134022547
That's not how math works.
>>134022547
Give me one reason why you shouldn't check this
You're not cool enough to post on /a/.
Is this the shitposting thread?
>>134022547
>two hours
Enjoying Australia? If you're not retarded you can automate everything. Why should I take seconds going to a streaming website when I can instantly play the video that downloaded the instant it was subbed.
>>134022689
Hopefully not, I want to know reason behind the /a/ hatred for streaming.
>>134022547
>two hours to download one episode
What kind of fucking Netto connection do you have that you have to wait 2 hours for one episode?
>>134022547
>Downloading an episode
>Waist time and space on your hard drive
>Google search an episode, stream it in the same quality
It's just /a/ being /a/utistic.
>>134022762
Have you never read the other shitposting threads? It's because it's just as convenient both ways, but torrenting yield higher quality videos. By choosing to stream you are choosing the worse option while knowing that it is worse. You are seeing the options of $19 and $20 and choosing $19.
>2 hours
Do you live in the third world?
Hue hue?
It takes me literally 1-2 minutes to download, would be faster if more seeds/less leachers.
150mbps Comcast
>>134022547
I don't watch things as they air and I don't want to have to constantly check for new episodes so I depend on RSS feed functionality.
Also I'm on Comcast and sometimes my internet goes down for 10 minutes for no reason.
>>134022881
I'd hardly say it's convenient both ways.
One I type in a password and I have everything before me, including an ordered queue of what I need to watch.
For torrenting, you either have to set up RSS automation, which can be a pain in the ass, or you download them manually. MAL / AniList / etc. are OK for keeping track of your current watching queue, but it's not as simple, and getting Taiga or MAL Updater to work all the time with your downloads folder can be annoying depending on your OS.
That said, as has been mentioned, there is an absurdly sharp drop in quality. It's not even questionable. And I cannot justify any sacrifice in convenience for what Crunchyroll and Funimation are spitting out. Seriously, they just need to hire some damn engineers to actually improve their site and infrastructure, but instead they hire out fansub groups to improve their translation time.
>>134022881
Choosing between instant $19 or waiting for $20, definitely $19, because I'm not an perfectionist autist and can compromise to save my time.
I have a big storage
I took it from Walmart
Sick with space
I just want to fill you!
>>134022893
>Comcast
>>134023168
You can't really call the quality difference ignorable except by perfectionist autists. Funimation especially is really bad. Most videos have random green shit all over the beginning, and corruption occasionally throughout the episode. Sure it's watchable, but is it really a good idea to pay money for that?
>>134023242
Kek
If you're waiting two hours to download a single episode, I don't see how streaming would be viable in any way.
>>134022893
Comcrap pleb. I laugh at you.I've used them, too. They do ok.
>stream fags still salty about KA
>stream fags still in denial after being BTFO in previous threads
>>134023168
You don't even have to wait longer. It will download the instant it comes out. You'll be downloading it at the same time as your streaming website, how could you watch it from them faster?
You're choosing getting $19 now rather than $20 on your desk. Either way you're getting it instantly, you're just too stupid to acknowledge it in one instance.
As has been said before, what I'd really like is some sort of affordable, official, quality site that involves somehow downloading anime (I'll deal with DRM bullshit). But unfortunately Jap studios have no idea how to stay in business and would never agree to that sort of licensing deal.
>>134023269
Don't use crap streams them
>inb4 all streams are crap
The difference between a 1080p stream and a download is negligible.
One day streaming will be as good as Downloanding.
Until that day, FUCKING DONWLOAD YOU GODDAMM RETARD
>>134023363
OK, name one paid streaming service that is not crap.
>>134023152
>>134022881
So why are you not downloading full 30 Gb BD images then? You are settling for shitty ripped quality?
>>134023342
>it will download the instant it comes out
Uh, no it won't. You'd have to automate that on your torrent client, which means playing with RSS feeds every season. On a streaming service you click a button and it adds it to your queue.
>>134023363
Resolution is not the issue, but i wouldn't expect an idiot like you to understand that.
>>134022858
>Waist
>saving and posting a thumbnail
Streamfags, everyone.
>>134023418
Because I'm not willing to wait months before watching a show. I just watch it within minutes of it being released, unlike streamfags.
>>134023418
That's a serious exaggeration. Have you watched a Funimation stream? I'm not saying it's impossible to have a good stream, it's just that the current official options (CR, Funi, etc.) are pretty terrible. (Hell, I usually stream my torrents over Plex and it's amazing.)
>>134022547
>two hours to download an episode
That only happens when you download good anime, those that are not on streams.
>>134023499
>good anime
>>134023303
No problems, and my area isn't doing the cap due to HEAVY competition from Verizion.
I owe Verizion a sum of money from my stepfather not paying his plan he got under my name so Comcast it is.
>>134023242
Better than ATT, Time Warner, etc filthy midwest scum have to deal with,
>>134023522
You seem lost friend, this is a board for people that likes anime.
Maybe you'll fit better in >>>/v/
>>134023429
>spend 30 seconds at the start every season to automate it
How difficult. You're right, it's much better to watch shit quality streams instead.
>>134023617
>How difficult.
Regular expressions are hard, anon.
>>134023617
>>134023643
Yeah actually pretty difficult. Nyaa has a single RSS feed (unless there's some hidden queue functionality I'm missing), and nobody wants to sit down on a Saturday and write regexes for their anime downloads. That's exactly the kind of thing you write software for to avoid.
>>134023643
>help me, i don't understand how conversational english works
>>134023704
>>134023690
I'm kind of lost here, but if it wasn't obvious before, i was being sarcastic.
>>134023690
Shana Project automates it for you if you're too stupid to do it yourself.
>>134023757
I saw that. You can try, but you can't hide your shame.
>>134023778
>too stupid to do it yourself
Not everything is about intelligence. Just because I can write a regex doesn't mean I want to.
That said I didn't know about Shana Project, so thanks.
>>134023821
No problem, though Shana Project uses TT, which some people inexplicably view as being worse than streaming.
>one thread has a streamfag claiming that the screencap comparison is fake because he can't see the KA watermarks
>one thread has a streamfag repeatedly being in denial over streams being bit starved
>one thread has a streamfag not even knowing how to crop images

I thought the whole KA fiasco is going to be disastrous, but it turns out to be comedy gold.
>>134023885
That's just diaz.
>>134023951
How is Daiz relevant to a public tracker.
>>134024004
Are you for real?
>Janitor deletes dubs posts
>Doesn't delete the entire thread
Holy fuck, get your shit together. I'm not even the dubs poster but this thread shouldn't even be here. It's just streamfags being retarded fucking streamfags.
>>134022547
Because /a/ is full of autistic people that drop things because of animation, hell I've even seen people who prioritize animation/quality over the actual anime itself.
>>134024035
They allow rwby threads now. So why be surprised that they tolerate streaming as well.
>>134024023
Yes? I don't keep track of everything Daiz does.
>>134024004
While it's certainly cool to blame the bald faggot for everything that has ever happened, in this case diaz and the fansub cartel are to blame for tt falling into disgrace. Somehow they decided that it wasn't fit for the anime community of the 21st century.
>>134024004
>nyaa mod
>not relevant to a public tracker
>>134024035
you didn't report enough.
all those threads everyone claim to be shit go unnoticed because instead of reporting and moving on, everyone comes in and batches about mods and janitors not doing their job without doing their part.
>>134023454

>>134024255
Well done.
>>134022774
This.
>>134023437
Yo damn that's terrible.
if your net is fast enough to seamlessly stream 1080p near errorless video, it's fast enough to not take 2 hours to download a few gigs
Dammit, jannie, just delete the thread.
>>134024224
>batches
*bitches
but you get the idea.
>streams for free
>not living in a timezone where anime comes out overnight so it's always ready when you wake up
>>134024224
If janitors and mods actually did their jobs, they would delete this thread instead of coming in only to delete dubs posts. Don't give me that shit how I'm not doing my part because I already reported this thread forever ago. Now kill yourself.
>>134024362
blame the faggots bumping the thread then.
the feeling is mutual by the way.
This new janitor is just laughing at us.
>janitor is a streamfag
What a shocker.
>>134022893
>Comcast
>>134024638
I think I know why he's doing this. The mods monitor how much he deletes, and the more he deletes, the better he looks to them. He's filling up his shitty hotpocket quota.
>third world country
>share internet with the other 2 computers at my house
>still download the episode in 20~30 minutes or 10~15 if I'm the only one using the internet
Get a job and pay better internet, OP.
Unless you live in some special country like North Korea or Venezuela, if that's the case then it's okay to stream.
Why are these not instantly deleted? If I get doubles, this is now a get thread. Fuck streamfags.
>>134024917
A janitor has been sitting in this thread for a while now. It's a fucking shame it's stayed up this long.
desu i just use adblock on crunchyroll

>>134022547
>no visible difference in quality
this is some grade A shitposting
>>134025390
You had some nice dubs.
Downloading has been the primary delivery method of fansubs since the internet became a modern commodity. Streaming is a new tech and while it's good and noob friendly it has plenty of inconveniences like not being able to search across the length of the video without possibly breaking the stream. Plus a good torrent takes maybe 3m tops on a stable connect.
How do you handle streams with such a shit connection? I can download episodes in reasonable time but Crunchyroll barely ever works for me
>>134025536
Makes a good point, filesharing is how anime started to grow in the west, that's how even Crunchyroll got started, and so not only are they gonna they aren't gonna even recognize all the contributions of people's work because it isn't 'legit'.

My internet isn't that good but it rarely takes more than 5 minutes to download anything.
Streaming is fine, but I'd rather just have the whole file on my computer.
Streaming doesn't have raws which sucks

>>134026317
Calm your tits faggot. I was just pointing out that downloading doesn't guarantee you watermark-less shows, even if you download from fansubs you'd still have the tv station mark.
>>134023690
Run a search on nyaa and then use the RSS. It will generate a RSS feed based on your search.
