Why isn’t it fair? No reason you can’t just torrent a 10GB Blu-Ray rip of the movie. It’s free, easy and probably takes less time than going out and buying a DVD.
I would say that side-to-side the quality of Netflix-like streaming is A LOT better, at least when it comes to video. Audio is probably comparable since both DVD’s and streaming services usually use Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus.
But then it’s in DVD quality. Why not just pirate a full quality version?

What should I be using instead of (q)bittorrent?
QBitTorrent is fine. BitTorrent and its children are not.
I don’t think I we’ve used any of those actually.
fmhy.net will tell you.
Blurays exist and they’re pretty cheap from thrift stores (often just $3)
Piracy is free though
Ya but Blu-ray is a PITA to rip sometimes.

DVD isn’t very good quality. I don’t really care and I have a tiny TV, and DVDs still don’t look very good on it.

The video quality is shit and it’s extremely obvious in my opinion. Even the sound is inferior to a good torrent with Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD sound.
