200mb episodes are good enough! (lemm.ee)

I watch a fair amount of series, but I'm not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn't make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I'll go to the theater.

Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.

I don't have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.

Why not just use those streaming sites then? You don't need to download anything

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, as they say

Saving files for offline enjoyment/no dependence on internet connection.
More player and playback options: easier rewind/fast-forward, chapter controls (for many releases), etc.
Fewer ads/pop-ups/phishing/etc. nonsense (depending on how effective your browser's adblockers are)
Often, choice of subs and dubs. Generally better ones than the generic DVD release subs. And sometimes, even commentary tracks.

Most streaming sites are even worse quality.

Bearing in mind the community you're posting in I wouldn't think they were suggesting the big streaming companies.

Kodi + (insertname)debrid or stremio+ (insertname)debrid .... either will let you stream torrents in much better quality than the streaming sites and no need to horde.

Also, i'm fairly sure there's some torrent clients that allow streaming of the torrent file, I'm not sure if they're still around but I think Vuze was one, I don't used desktops any more just mobile/tablet so my knowledge might now be out of date.

Was about to say the same. I mean to each his own, but I can hardly justify a release that has worse quality than online streaming

I actually prefer the Jellyfin interface even when I have access to content through another service.
