I’ve never been into torrenting stuff but usually just do streaming via the usual sites (I usually use any site that fmhy recommends). However, I’ve noticed that most pirate streaming sites have much slower load rates and need a long time to buffer than commercial streaming sites. This often means that I cannot watch an episode in full but have to pause to buffer… As you can tell, I’m a total noob. What can I do to have a nicer experience streaming pirated content?

(And sure, that’s probably why people get into torrenting. I already got a raspberry pi that I intent to use for this, but I couldn’t find the energy to set it all up yet.)
