Some TV series aren't available everywhere. As an example, I'm currently watching "Dark", a wonderful 2017 German series (think about a grittier, darker, Stranger Things) that was dubbed in English but still doesn't seem to be available in other parts of Europe.

There are also other more legit usages of BitTorrent: I use it often to download Linux install images so that the network load is distributed among users and I do not tax excessively the servers.

I remember Dark having a pretty large mainstream following as it was getting released. I was under the impression that it was funded by Netflix and as such it would be available everywhere that Netflix is available (and by extension assumed Netflix was available everywhere in Europe).

Where in Europe is it not available on Netflix? Or is it the case of Netflix being unavailable?

Yeah, personally I use it to grab Path of Exile updates. The team release a torrent earlier so that people with bad internet connections can grab it early, it works great.
