I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

“I wanna watch X, let’s see if Netflix has it…”

*Opens webpage*

“Hmm… Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I’m just gonna say I’ll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let’s still confirm that Netflix doesn’t have X…”

Next thing you know, I’m watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point…

    Heh, that’s usually the plan - except I don’t wanna have to wait for it to finish. But then I go back the next day to get it running before I leave the house, and it’s finished before I can even get out the door!

      Set your client to download pieces sequentially. VLC will play it while it downloads in the background. Probably other players too.
