Downloading Versus Streaming, Which is Better?

Posted by Abildgaard Abel on March 19th, 2021

Gone are the days where we used to drive to the nearest movie rental store to rent 5 or more VCDs to watch on the weekend. Our kids will certainly enjoy a movie marathon, with popcorn, or may be an ice cream for a late night snack. But years before this is the fad of VHS, as well as betamax tapes, being rented by our parents for us. Should it be Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Back to the near future, or Land Before Time; we'll surely enjoy watching all of them night. Movie rental shops are perhaps one of the most in demand businesses during those times. Since not all people can watch the latest movies on theaters, what they often do is just to hold back till these movies are released in their VCD copies and just wish their luck that the copy will be available once they should come to visit the shop. But things have evolved, thanks to the presence of the web, which makes everything possible for us. Now, even our movie watching is made effortless, and driving to the nearest video store will not be suggested anymore. Online movie rental sites can be found already, which offers postal-service kind of delivering your rentals. You merely have to place your rentals on queue, and soon they will all be delivered at your door. But why wait for the films to reach? If things have made easy, they even managed to get easier, through the downloading services provided by some sites for excellent movie watching experience. Through these movie downloading services, either by rent or by buy, you will now gain access in your most awaited movie much faster compared to waiting for it to be delivered to you. Even though downloading period varies, and highly depends on your internet connection speed. The larger the file, the slower it is downloaded; the slower your connection, the additional time it will take that you should download the files. You can find even movies, with hi-def settings, that took days before you completely download it. And now here comes another resource- the web movie streaming. Another answer to our leisure, where you wouldn't need to await hours before watching a complete length movie. With movie streaming, it will be easy to watch the movie in just minutes, much faster in comparison to downloading it first. However, it has also its downside. If your internet connection speed isn't at its best, you may encounter chops and interruptions during your movie watching, that is very annoying; unlike in the event that you download it first, your movie watching will be smooth and continuous all through the entire end. People are still divided into which is really better- downloading or streaming? Both bring us great convenience, that those downloaded and streamed videos can be watched not only on our PCs, but also to other devices such as TiVo, IPod, and also our game consoles, and cellphones, which gives us portability and convenience on the go. But to decide which gives fmovies watching experience- the decision is still in the hands.
