Which do you prefer?
Livestream

Don't have to wait on DL time
Can be viewed pretty much instantly, however in usually lower quality.

Download

Download servers can be busy/full
Download servers can be incredibly slow
Have to wait for the download itself
Usually higher quality

DL for quality.(Mostly Perfer that)

Livestream if I don't feel like downloading specially a big file.

I download when the file is small (below 150mb)

Otherwise i live stream. I cbf'd waiting.

However, if the movie is known for its editing and overall quality, I will download.

If there is no livestream and the file is under 150MB I might be willing to DL if it has gotten good reviews or is something I KNOW i want to watch. Live stream isn't always that bad. That said, PLEASE STOP USING YouTube.com FOR LIVE STREAM! USE GOOGLE VIDEO! YouTube quality is THE worst possible. . .

Mostly, I stream... Unless it's a long, epic story-line, like the Tales of the Past series or the Rise of the Living Dead.

Too many people rate movies by the quality from the live stream.
And lower quality is a understatement.

DL queue if overloaded is best imo. Gives best result for everyone in the end.
