    There are so many good sites now with a VPN, downloading is obsolete. Websites are just as good as Netflix, can skip intro, auto play, get subtitles, auto next, etc. I used to torrent but now I just watch on the sites online. No need to fill SSDs

      Aside from comparison of quality, running a streaming platform is very resource intensive, hence requires a lot of money.

      The burden of torrent download is instead spread among many peers.
