This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
When you're torrenting and you're planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you're watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can't find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren't going to be in the same room, you'll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that's low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally you'd block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.
Most popular movies have enough seeders to finish in 20 minutes where I live.
But if I were in OP's shoes, I would just turn to streaming and forego the slightly better quality.
The movie isn't the most important thing at that point.
OP doesn't pay for streaming on the hypothetical (because we all know this isn't a real story lol).
