Once you have it set up right you can
Highly depends on the torrent. If it’s something obscure that’s on streaming but only has a couple of slow seeders as a torrent, you’re probably not going to be able to watch the latter as you download it.
It’s still cheaper, and still has a wider selection, but it is not always as convenient as streaming.
But for anything new and popular? Hoist the main sails!
I haven’t bothered with torrents since we cancelled all our streaming services. Usenet is so good right now. SABNZBD, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Overseerr for my family requests/Plex share users. Finding a few good providers/indexers was really cheap (Black Friday sales were great last year).
It definitely takes a lot of fucking around/learning initially, but once you’ve set it up right, it’s seamless.
Somewhat related - I hear real-debrid is a pretty slick way to basically stream torrents, if you don’t have access to a bunch of physical storage. Haven’t tried it myself, but people seem to dig it.
Who said torrent? There’s other ways to have it set up too, e.g join a Plex share
Unless you’re like me, no friends with plex servers to hop on to lol
