Livestream or DL?

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

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. . .
