I use Librewolf, alternatively, Floorp, so I wonder if there's anything I can use on them to download videos with.

And I plan on using them on sites similar to hianime, but I'm tired of like, finding one stream and it dies, then having to go find another .etc

I want to save my favorite series so I can have something to watch reliably than something that is operating on uncertainty.

Any ideas?

I'm not a fan of torrenting and haven't bothered with them in like, geez, I think 16 some odd years. I like DDLs and I like more convenient options. I don't want to bother being an easy target, I don't want to mess with protocols, timing and any other hassle just to torrent. I am done with those days.

Those streaming sites have dreadful image quality, sometimes even audio is fucked. They are useful to check bits of the first episode before you commit to download from a high quality source.

I mean, you do you, but anime is a much more pleasant experience if you download a decent encode.

I'm not even saying to download SubsPlease or Erai-Raws, just Judas, EMBER, ASW, Cloe, etc. Look pretty good and only take about 200 to 300 MB per episode.

I understand that you don't want to torrent, but, you're ruining your experience. Besides torrenting easier than what you're trying to do.

Just use nyaa. Download then stop seeding, if it's new-ish airing show it's probably have decent peers already.

If your ISP blocked the port then yeah understandable not wanting to mess with anything.

But if it doesn't, torrent is miles ahead more convenient these days compared to DDL.

I've never heard of these issues in my years of torrenting. I just find whatever I need and download. Do you mind helping me understand those issues?
