I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
The newer AV1 codec has me very interested in HQ streaming. You need a monster machine to make the file, but then it’s 2GB for a high quality 1080p movie.
I find 4k streaming to be absolutely good enough for general tv streaming. It’s a bit better on some services than others. Amazon and Netflix do it the best, but it’s generally pretty good on all of the,.
The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).
For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.
Agreed I do pretty much the same.
