stream has its disadvantage. If the server has a lot of people downloading from, then you will have a very laggy video. And it will start and stop. Might as well don't watch.

Streaming suppose to be online, depending on what site and on your security settings (or lack of them), some being real nest of virus. Sites come and go over the years. With a downloaded video, no bad surprise, no virus, no need to be online, etc.

I prefer download. That way I don't have to worry about lag. I can put it on a device that does not have internet access. I can download it, keep it and watch it when ever I want because sometimes streaming sites go down.

Personally, I think it is always better to download and view media directly from your device. Rather than stream it.

Download. Dont have internet on my mobile smartphone or tablet. Its expensive in my region. So, Download - best way to watch movie anywhere.

Free wifi available many places here.. Even McDonalds..

many places are different, it is expensive here as well, even with a contract

and really would I risk coming to this site in MaccyD, there is enough spies going on let alone going to public places to get a fix

I saw a lot of WiFi hotspot in china outfield even in chinese McDonalds,but I only test a few and as WillEater said,it works,so I think we don't need to download it.
