You can stream many torrents. That may be what the person you responded to meant but there’s also just straight up free streaming of sports events. sportsurge dot net is one that I use regularly when blackouts prevent me from watching stuff. It’s really more of a link aggregator than a streaming service but you can find the sites that work through it. Ad blockers are essential to this process as with most things these days.
Streaming a torrent, in this context, would mean to start downloading a torrent at the first block working your way to the end, and to start watching before the download is complete. It’s possible to do.
But steaming in the context you’re replying to means to broadcast a signal as it’s occuring. Sending the start before the end has even happened yet. As far as I know, there are no torrent-like systems that support uploading things before the file has ended. Torrents in particular need a list of all the blocks of a file, with their checksum for integrity checks, before they can be created, and so definitely can’t support streaming upload.
Torrents are an easy way to watch hockey.
Torrents are not a good medium for live streaming though. Who wants to wait until after the game is over to watch it?
I do. No commercials, 90 minutes of my day max. I absolutely love watchig the game that way compared to watching it for three hours.
I also don’t know anyone who likes hockey so it’s easy for me to do, since no one ever wants to talk about it with me.
