I think people here drastically overestimate the percentage of the population who has a desktop computer.

    iOS folks sre shit out of luck here, Android can torrent. Actually I think with debrid you could also use stremio on iOS, but I'm not too sure. Lastly, you could run a seedbox.

    Oh and circling back to stremio, you can run that on android tv. Have an old TV? Even better, get an android stick.

    You can still have Wi-Fi at home even if you don't own a computer with a desktop OS on it. Additionally, if you have an unlimited plan or just a very high data cap, it's not a huge issue to torrent. May need a VPN though so you wouldn't have a hundred connections, but just one.

    Before they finally dragged fiber to my ass, but after I'd got tired of 10 mbps copper, I had an outdoor LTE antenna with an unlimited data plan for my sole internet connection at home. It was a bit unstable and speed varied from 10 mbps to 150 or 200 mbps (I think. it's been a while), but at least it worked. Plus I'd do most of my torrenting overnight so it wouldn't affect other people on the same network cell as much.

    Yeah would love to know how that's going actually.

    I asked my kid if he'd not be better off with a console, as he plays those games, but he was like you'd have to pry my PC from my dead fingers! So there's one or two at least, but I guess it's a dwindling number.
