Convenience primarily. TorBox for example just has the torrents cached on their server most of the time, so it’s much faster + I don’t care to store it myself. Unlikely to rewatch things so often I need to keep them

I assume that’s direct tariff costs on them. The extra might be the increased costs of materials, etc. Just guessing though

Didn’t the original creator of these scripts recently pass away, or am I misremembering?

Edit: Yeah he did, but I guess others have been able to keep the project going https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/discussions/237
