Haven't torrented in over a decade. I've finally managed to find some free time to watch some stuff. - eviltoast

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?

    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.
