Um, what? If you can stream 4K media in real time, by definition you are able to download the file in at least the media's run time.
That is: you're only spending ≤30 minutes to download a 4K TV show episode if you can also stream it.
- yefim 11y agoPretty sure that's what he or she meant by "too long." Not many people want to wait 30 minutes to watch something for 30 minutes.
- scott_karana 11y agoFor anyone currently downloading non-4K media, with pipes fast enough to stream live 4K, it's likely a non-issue. For people not currently downloading media, the discussion is irrelevant: > downloading 40GB takes too long; whereas streaming is popular. Streaming the media would take (at best) just as long as downloading it.
