It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

No, they don’t rely on the BitTorrent network, it’s just regular video streaming
That sounds like a very strange model comparing to how empowering and decentralized real torrenting is.
There even us btfs which allows to mount filesystems over bittorrent and access on demand.
And I am sure that bittorrent over Javascript on a Website would be possible.
Like Snowflake runs as a browser extension and people connect over WebRTC
Pirate websites like this usually rely on the shadier ad networks baked into these kinds of video streaming sites to make their money.
There’s no financial incentive to use BitTorrent based streaming, and if they did I feel the torrents would die rapidly just due to the amount of leechers with barely any seeders to offset the ratio disparity (Unless some kind of webseed was available ?)
It’s for noobs who can’t torrent
I mean it is likely also safer as it is encrypted?
Using a VPN service and installing qBittorrent is pretty easy though
If there’s one thing I’ve learned working in IT, it’s to not underestimate people’s inability to grasp even to most simple of technical tasks.
That is certainly true
You won’t get caught torrenting. This has nothing to do with encryption. You are at the mercy of the site owner, who has a lot of server bills and can make money by putting viruses on your computer.
Why wont you get caught torrenting then? If this hasnt got anything to do with encryption 😉
It is safe if you use DNSSEC and TLS-only connections.
Otherwise, your ISP could still see that traffic. When using custom DNS, that server could see it.
A danger would only occur when an adversary would host a honeypot site, which is likely illegal.
Was really interesting to understand why Torrenting is so easy to discover.
I2P for everyone then?
you won’t get caught torrenting because you aren’t torrenting, stupid
