GYAH!! I'll admit that lately it's had the "5-minutes of plot per 24 minute episode" problem that's plagued the Dragonballs, but once the month of flashbacks were over, it got a lot better very quickly, and I'm loving it.
Personally, I download them and copy them to my PDA to watch at my favorit bar. Today's selections include Naruto, Bleach, Trinity Blood, and I already watched the new Ah! My Goddess on the subway on the way to work.
I'm very impressed with the speed that they get translated, timed, encoded, and seeded. Even following RSS feeds from the fansubbing groups, once I get on, there's already another 20,000 peers already downloading the same episode, and it's frequently down in less time than it takes to watch.
Now the question becomes using BitTorrent to stream content like this, rather than downloading it and then watching it. I know that there's at least a plugin for MythTV that will search for torrents and then queue them up for download and make the content available once it's done, but howabout playback at the same time, prioritizing the beginning of the file to stream it as it comes down the pipe?
Could be cool. And no, I'm not gonna write it. I'm creative, but lazy.
