Question. When deciding on which source to torrent, should I just go with whichever one has the most downloads, or seeds? Should I bother enlightening myself about the terminology that's used, or does it really just amount to minutiae?

I would prefer sources of a higher quality so that I can take high quality screenshots for reference, but I'm pretty ignorant about what exactly gets taken into consideration; I don't know what constitutes a high quality rip, I just know buzzwords like "encoding" and "codecs".

Also, provide charts pls and/or any recommendations for anime (and manga, though primarily anime). I forgot I was paying for a VPN for "a few" months, and now I want my money's worth in anime, manga and VNs.

Furthermore, now that Mangadex is dead, and the guy behind Comick fumbled his second site, what's the go-to source for downloading (translated) manga? I assume that Nyaa will suffice as well?
