What makes y'all torrent instead of DDL? I read in the megathread that DDL is less likely to get you caught, but a lot of people on here seem to really enjoy torrenting and I must be completely clueless as to why. I'd like to have your insights

Just a smoother and faster experience. No dead links, no slow downloads, no files that are separated into multiple parts...
You get a VPN and you don't have to worry about "getting caught". Private trackers just further elevate that experience and get you access to better content.

    Also in this day and age getting a VPN and having it always on for general privacy enhancement, especially against snoopy governments (something which just keeps on getting worse), is also a good idea, plus it also lets you work around geographically restricted sites, so it ends up useful in multiple ways.
