That's the power of usenet. My downloads are limited by disk speed, not my connection. Didn't believe it myself until I had it running. I used to use torrents which were slow af.
Exactly the damn problem; you have to look for, depend on, and trust some other service to have it available to stream when you want to stream it.
I just throw names at my server whenever I happen to hear of something interesting to watch (often while I am at work) and it finds it for me. I can then watch and share it with as many people as I like without involving anyone or anything else whenever I want to.
/edit: for the record, I'm not the one downvoting you.
