How does this save bandwidth? Let's say I want to watch a 4gb 720p movie? If I use this, won't I just then be streaming that much data or losing quality? Torrenting generally is better for slow connections than streaming because you can torrent and then play offline instead of having to worry about buffering and a consistent connection.

- zmk_ 13y agoI thinke they meant that they are caching caching stuff on the backend so the downloads "finish" faster if they are other people on the service downloading the same files.
- craigmccaskill 13y agoIt saves bandwidth because a lot of ISPs track upload and download towards your bandwidth limit. This removes the upload component completely.
