Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

    Waiting for seeders is definitely a thing, I once waited 8 months for a seeder to show up (and they did!)

      Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

      Thanks for the suggestion though!

      I’ll never stop being sad it got cancelled. I wear my Tree TV sweatshirt with pride.

    couple hours? oftentimes a torrent with zero seeders is as good as dead, and a seeder might show up in days or weeks, most times never. best to find another torrent. also, and this is just a personal preference it’s worth the download time to kick it up a notch to 1080.

      Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.

      I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.

        It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.

        If you’re using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar

        The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.

        Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you’re connected or firewalled.

        Some trackers don’t update seeder info on the web page. Another possible reason is you are behing cgnat and most (all) of the peers are behind it as well, so you just can’t connect with each other.
