Download is usually higher quality, more customizable (subtitles, video player client, audio refinement, etc), and is more censorship proof model in the grand scheme.

I didn’t complain. And I don’t need to hoard anything that I’m not going to watch again.

I get all of what you’re describing with stremio/premiuimize. I watch 4K high bitrate HDR content flawlessly. All I do is open the app, select a stream and it plays.

Same, real debrid or premiumize on kodi makes downloading mostly unnecessary. Occasionally I get something a bit niche I need to hunt down on torrent or Usenet, very rarely.

Yeah been using real-debrid and kodi for almost a decade only thing I have issues with is foreign content. 99% of the time it's super practical vs maintaining a library or buying storage. I also always stream 4k bluray remuxes which is not what I would want to store anyway

What add on do you use on kodi out of interest. I've been on Ezra for a couple of years.

stremio is the perfect mix in my opinion. You can pick any torrent and it gets deleted after you finish watching
