Hi guys,

Seen a couple similar threads but was wanting to open discussion/get people's thoughts on streaming vs. downloading torrents in 2025. I have been downloading & seeding torrents using Proton VPN and streaming them locally via Jellyfin for some time now and I am currently in the process of setting up a 24/7 server to host Jellyfin, the 'Arr stack and Tailscale. This seemed to me the best option for a premium torrenting experience.

Recently, my friend introduced me to Stremio with the Torrentio add-on and a debrid service (not sure which he was using) and I was amazed by how well it appeared to work for him.

People who have experience with both: what are your thoughts on the pros and cons of each method?
