Wow, I haven’t heard the term ‘script kiddie’ since I used to hang out on alter.net/#hack on IRC back in the 90s.

It is a bit condescending, I know. But it fits - you don’t need tools like that if you are willing to learn a bit more.

I wasn’t disputing it, just marveling at how long it’s been since I’ve heard someone use the term.

As someone who has used it for viewing legal copyright free content and nothing pirated, I will say that it definitely provides a service that regular torrents don’t- ease and speed. It makes viewing legal and copyright free content just as easy as using Netflix to the point where you don’t have to go onto various websites looking for what you want to watch, you can just get it all in one place. Further, if you have roommates or relatives who would like to view this legal and copyright free content as well, it’s easy enough for them to use as well without having to learn how to find and download said content. I have done both, and I must say that the fee is well worth it to me compared to the amount of time it saves.

It’s more than that. Media plays instantly because it’s already downloaded, cached and served over https. No waiting for files to finish.
