To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don’t look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I’dd do it myself if it’s just faster to download it directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett’s manual search.
I honestly use them both since my arrs are all set up for jacket for the few torrents i need whrn usenet doesnt have something and it works fine so no point redoing everything. I use prowlarr for all my manual searches though.
