Best tools for ripping content (lemm.ee)

While trying to find a torrent for a show, I became curious about how others are creating the torrents I know and love. Is ripping a video from a streaming service relatively easy? Are there tools y'all would recommend?

Usually the methods are not shared because streaming services would go out of their way to break them. Just like Youtube breaks yt-dlp every now and then. But Youtube is too big to implement any serious protection, so, downloaders usually win. I heard Crunchyroll is ripped via their mobile app, albeit modified. But specifics are better left in the dark.

Crunchyroll doesn't use DRM. You can use yt-dlp to download videos from it
