I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.

The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).

For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.

Agreed I do pretty much the same.
