    What baffles me is why anyone still uses torrents when we have Usenet and Debrid services. Why wait for seeds, when you can just get a direct download of the exact same content at your internet connection’s maximum download speed?

      I don’t think the vast majority of torrent users are waiting for seeds, they’re just grabbing current popular stuff with a zillion seeders that finishes downloading within a few minutes.
