I think people here drastically overestimate the percentage of the population who has a desktop computer.

Yeah would love to know how that’s going actually.
I asked my kid if he’d not be better off with a console, as he plays those games, but he was like you’d have to pry my PC from my dead fingers! So there’s one or two at least, but I guess it’s a dwindling number.

iOS folks sre shit out of luck here, Android can torrent. Actually I think with debrid you could also use stremio on iOS, but I’m not too sure. Lastly, you could run a seedbox.
Oh and circling back to stremio, you can run that on android tv. Have an old TV? Even better, get an android stick.

You can still have Wi-Fi at home even if you don’t own a computer with a desktop OS on it. Additionally, if you have an unlimited plan or just a very high data cap, it’s not a huge issue to torrent. May need a VPN though so you wouldn’t have a hundred connections, but just one.
Before they finally dragged fiber to my ass, but after I’d got tired of 10 mbps copper, I had an outdoor LTE antenna with an unlimited data plan for my sole internet connection at home. It was a bit unstable and speed varied from 10 mbps to 150 or 200 mbps (I think. it’s been a while), but at least it worked. Plus I’d do most of my torrenting overnight so it wouldn’t affect other people on the same network cell as much.
