Why is torrenting considered better than streaming?

Unless you have top tier internet connection, there's no way you can stream in the same quality you can torrent.
>>
better quality
>>
>>136301061
You'd have to restrict all traffic on your network to the connections to the stream provider to watch comfortably at 720p in sub 5 mbps connections

Depends on whether you count watching while downloading over DCC as streaming.

Not that it matters considering my connection downloads a 25m episode in under a minute.

Because when you're on an airplane and/or using a mobile device, you can't stream without burning through serious cash or data plan minutes.

Because no one wants their anime to be as pixilated as a Japanese porno.
Its very rare for people to upload 1080p anime for streaming which you dont have to pay for.
>>
>>136301061
Because streaming sites have to pay for their bandwidth. They also have to make sure people can watch their shit, so they butcher the quality in order to provide an acceptable bitrate. I don't want to compromise, and >136303415 as well.

Also, by torrenting you don't make yourself and others rely on a single server/host. You can archive, and others will find the series in the future when no existing streaming site will have it.

recently have been resorting to streaming. It's not so bad, i've never had that big of a problem with quality or ads. Sometimes the subbing is trash tier though. I guess it helps that i dont have 3mbps internet either, but again charter is lik e30 bucks for 60mbps.

masterani.me and kissanime for example offer streams in the same quality as you can download.
So with a fast enough internet speed it doesnt really matter.

Actually they just upload them to google drive apparently, its pretty surprising they aren't getting taken down.
>>
>>136301061
Well, you have your reasons in that thread.
Then again, I won't complain if people prefer streaming, because I ususally only download stuff I will probably rewatch a lot or I if I want to make screenshots, usually about half the things I watch each season.
Otherwise I don't want to bother, because seeding is tedious for me.

I personally don't mind streamrips for airing shows. But if I have to archive a series I liked, there better be a good release of a BD rip.

I'm probably the only one thinking this, but I would prefer if some groups would stop wasting their time trying to catch up with streaming sites and just focused to provide good "final" releases for a series once the BD have come out.

Way better quality since it is not compressed to hell and beyond.

I still stream though since my download speed sucks complete and utter ass. Takes in the order of 1~3 hours to download a single episode.

If I had a better connection I wouldn't bother streaming.

The only issue with crunchyroll is that the streaming sucks speed wise, I select the 720 version and it always craps out on me while netflix never does.

If that was fixed I'd never torrent anime again.

They get downloaded as soon as they come out and then I watch them 5 minutes later.

Instead of waiting for the stream site to compress into an mp4 and upload to their site.

I used to stream from sites like Frostanime or Crunchyroll, then i realized torrents can be automatically downloaded from RSS, so i've got the full quality episode by the time i wake up, and likely before streaming sites re-upload the horriblesubs version by a few hours

and also that the color quality is noticably better. It's ridiculous, but streaming sites have muted colors and blurry lines due to the way compression works.
I'll still stream for shorts and stuff that i don't wanna bother downloading (e.g. i watched JK Meshi), but that's it.

Use ublock origin. Better than what you're using right now (especially if it's something like adblock which allows "non intrusive ads", fuck that shit), and since it's not that common, sites never block their content if you use it.

Non intrusive ads have never really bothered me, I have ABP installed to prevent flashing shit and popups. I have recently run in to a few sites that block shit because I use ABP so I guess it has become too popular now. I'll give ublock origin a try.

Big Anime-streaming is paying denier groups millions of dollars to lobby for their streams on /a/. 99% of anime experts agree that downloading is superior to streaming. It's settled science, and Big Anime-streaming knows it. All they want is for you to hesitate just long enough for that extra month of service to get charged to your card.

I'm tall so I eat a lot but a typical day will be two bowls of porridge, two eggs, two or three sandwiches for lunch and a large dinner with a lot of meat and potatoes along with two or three liters of milk a day. Aiming for about 3500 calories.
>>
>>136312742
The problem isn't about non intrusive ads themselves. Why? Because I can do that alone. For example, I keep them here on 4chan.
While with ABP you get something that doesn't always do what it should, which is blocking ads, and I wouldn't be surprises if they took money to consider some ads as such.

Yeah, I bet it is faster checking the streaming site to see if a new episode is out every time for multiple shows instead of just taking 20 minutes of your time setting up an auto-downloader that just pushes everything into a folder on your desktop.

I hope most of you do this as it is painfully easy and comfortable.

It has served me well and I've had no problems with it all save for a few minor external access issues that got resolved with some tinkering.

My only gripe is that the torrent client is lackluster and I had to search for a long time until I found the right fucking regular expressions to use so that the filter works correctly.

I mean look at this shit, is a man really forced to write out something like this just to get a filter working?

Because all it takes is one network stutter between your connection and the stream to make that 1080p stream objectively worse.

It doesn't matter if your connection is god-tier if you're one of ten thousand people edging in on a connection built to handle five thousand, your experience is still going to be dogshit.

Even if you have a god-tier connection, just fucking torrent it anyway. Download the first one, then start the next four or five episodes while watching the first. If your connection is even halfway decent, by the time the first episode is done you've got a bunch more lined up and can now just grab the rest of the series.

If you're watching seasonal, just grab the first episode which strikes your fancy and then start the rest of the torrents while you watch whatever.

Torrenting means you only have to worry about the connection once, for three or four minutes.

Streaming means worrying about the connection every time you watch.

are there anons who still seriously believe in the streaming meme (actually streaming, not >streaming)?

are there still anons who come into this thread expecting anything else other than >streaming as well as people trying to justify for no benefit other than their own imagination that streaming is "better"?

Face facts guys: streaming is bad. End of story. Stop trying to justify it as a good decision, you have the facts, you have the people backing it up, either fess up to not being capable enough to know how to download (literally two clicks once you have a torrent client) or fess up to downloading shit like the big 3 so much that your ISP sends C&D letters to your mommy and daddy.
