also all the torrenting being replaced by streaming lenin-rage

i agree on the behind! extension, but that doesn't work on stuff like instagram that iirc won't even let you right click in the first place. combined with the allow right click extension you will become unstoppable

    Torrenting will never be replaced, take a look in the megathread for torrenting sites if you prefer them to streaming.

    Also, F12 for inspecting element and taking all the images you want.

    For shows and movies: As soon as you wander outside the mainstream or anime you're fucked for torrents now IME. Also, apart from anime if a show isn't American, a British show that gets big internationally or Indian you're also probably screwed.

    I was talking about the OP, if the show or film you are watching is in streaming, it will also be available for torrenting. TBH, I haven't searched for media too far from the mainstream.

    It really isn't possible to overstate how much this is not the case.

    But also a lot of stuff doesn't really get up on either.

    Your instinct to provide a resource at this point is a good one, and I have no intention of disparaging you. But I did specifically mention anime as one of the things torrents are still pretty good for.
