Any clues on how to get regular mp4 anime torrents? Ion wana have to use my newer laptop cus the whole point of having the old one is to avoid battery wear and tear on the new one when my electricitys out ;-;

try ffmpeg or handbrake. It converts the video to another format after its downloaded. Also the process uses a lot of CPU time and I assume battery life. I don't know how reasonable that solution is for your situation but try it anyway.
