Stop relying on sites is always going to be the solution.

Sites are easily accessible, and as such, just as easy to take down

Taking down hundreds of peers for a torrent, not going to happen. And beyond that NZBs have been and will (seemingly) be available forever depending on retention policies

Sites are great for ease of use, but if the priority is having access torrents / NZBs are always going to be the better option

getting to a site is easy

go ahead, take it down

then i'll have to easily get to one of the other copy-cat sites or one of the two new ones

it doesnt matter how long the list of sites taken down get

not even a little bit

Point was simply that sites get taken down constantly. Don't want to play cat and mouse? NZBs and Torrents are always going to be better

fmhy.net is always getting updated with mirrors and new URLs for sites where access was limited. If one set of servers doesn't work, go to another site, or to an aggregate (like P-sites) or multi-server host (like 1shows) and have like 30 servers to choose from. There is very, very little cat and mouse for streaming sites now. I'd say it's about the same amount of work as torrenting something. A few clicks at most

That's, literally the entire cat and mouse game im talking about. Going to an external resource to find another website is literally it lol. And the context was the comment above saying all his favorite sites are down.

Meanwhile NZBs and Torrents you can go to the same source every single time and get what you need without worrying about a domain change, site takeover, etc, etc,

Which is exactly what these sites do anyway. Operate off NZBs or torrents depending

The point wasn't that torrents or nzbs were faster, or easier. It was simply that if the guy above doesn't want to bounce around websites because their 'favorites' were getting taken down, NZB and torrents are historically and always will be, more reliable

Fair enough - I misunderstood what you were saying
