Made me chuckle. I know a guy who finds Netflix a total PITA and the streaming experience (sorely) lacking. So he pays for Netflix streaming and dvds, and then downloads what he wants to watch via torrents for the convenience.

I think if you've been torrenting this entire time you're probably set for life - being looped into all sorts of movie sharing rings that you regularly seed for... but breaking into it fresh - it's tough.

I used to be in those groups but stopped years ago. I'm still fine just using exclusively public torrents on public trackers via a VPN.
