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.

Agreed. Combined with a jellyfin instance and you will never want to come back. As said before, it takes a while to setup at first (especially if you download animes which aren't exactly handled the same way), but when it's done you'll see you weekly episodes magically appear with nothing to do on your side, and that's just great

Jellfyfin is the reason why I do this. I went from spending 30 minutes dumpster diving through terrible movies in one of the streaming platforms to now spending 30 minutes trying to choose from a selection of movies that I actually want to watch.

I now dumpster dive through 7TB of good movies I don't find time to watch :|

Living the dream ~

Which is 5TB of movies I think I should watch, 1.5TB of stuff I already watched and think I would watch again and the rest of stuff I actually want to watch.

Have you seen a good method/guide to prioritise release groups for anime? I looked into it but it was super confusing to me and didn't beat just grabbing a nyaa rss feed.

Actually yeah I do. I followed this guide which is really nice. I did need to add a few more sources manually depending on how popular a given anime is, but it's really useful anyway
