You can if you don't run anemic networking gear. Have three PCs running torrent apps, with a total number of allowed connections sitting at right around 1200 between all of the torrent clients. Zero issues.

250 active connections is the limit with my ISP provided router

So buy your own.

You have a set number of global peers

You do know that you can increase this, right?

And Calibre, a third party software for managing ebooks, has a plugin to crack Kindle files

Which requires being able to download those files from Amazon. Which is what this post is all about, Amazon not allowing you to download the files anymore.

I stopped cheering to anything attached to Elon when he decided to call a diver a pedo because the diver rescued those kids in the cave before Elon could.

It's more that they're restreaming a stream, and the main stream doesn't have commercials. They're injected at commercial breaks, but aren't a part of the main stream (because people in different regions get different commercials).

Why screen record? Just download the AMZN WEB-DL from one of the multitude of torrent sites that exist. What you're getting from there is a literal direct copy of what Amazon streams to you.

Epic Games is also a private company

Considering the majority of stakeholders in Epic are all public companies, I disagree with this notion. Tim Sweeney owns a bit over 40%, the rest is held by:

Tencent Sony Disney Kirkbi (Lego)

Not very private, I say.

You must be pretty young, because back in the dark days of spinning HDDs a computer would take 5+ minutes to boot.

Those storage freezers are doing nothing the vast majority of the time. Not really a fair comparison.
