To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don’t look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it’s just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett’s manual search.
Today I learned that some torrent clients provide a built-in torrent search engine.
Limewire was like that. It was heavily abused and unsafe to find shit with but it was like living in the future.
