Lol I can just add it to my phone's torrent client when I have a plan to watch something, then later begin download when I have wifi (or if you have unlimited high speed data, that also works... sort of...), usually like before bed when the phone is plugged in, then wake up and its done downloading.
You can pre-download the next thing you plan to watch before you finish your current thing. Same for TV Shows and movies.
If you don't use your phone for work, you can also just leave it charging and use their wifi (with VPN obviously) to torrent then come come and have it ready to watch, usually unless it has low seeders.
Watch using VLC.
(Afaik, there's no torrent client on iOS, so this is Android only... we'll see what happens with Android torrent clients after 2027... it works for now)
(That's the simplist thing to do. You can also remote into a computer,but that's a bit more complicated.)
