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'm into older content but I've never done any torenting. If I were to start would it by harder for me because of the time of content i search, or would it be like any torrenting?

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing ("seeding") the files.

ok. Thank you for the explanation. Honestly, I'm don't know what I'm saying myself. Like I said, I've never done torrenting but I'm curious to try.

It's not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.
