    Didn’t even know about that site but I prefer to download my media anyway, since pirate sites compress the shit out of videos. Very convenient though.

      The convenience was why I started primarily streaming years ago. Unlike in years past I am never without an Internet connection so the motivation to download the content locally and manage/archive has dropped tremendously for me. Glad people like you are still out there, though. Otherwise there would be nothing to stream!

          Yes and no. I’m streaming torrent files that have been uploaded to file hosting sites I can access through a debrid hosting service consolidater when streaming sites go down. I’ve also always assumed that the files that end up being streamed on sites like AnimeDao were just torrents pulled from Nyaa, but I could be wrong.

            Yes they are, and with much worse quality. I mentioned streaming because you can play a torrent video while it’s being downloaded, pretty cool but not that useful.
