    I don’t have infinity storage space, and if the intention is to erase after watching then why not just stream on stremio?

    I’m saying this as someone with 70TB usable storage in nas

      How are you complaining about having to delete with 70TB? I have 5 TB drive and I haven’t had to delete anything yet.

      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
