Yes that's actually completely true. I recall now that some action scenes have suffered because of this. It's definitely a compromise for the convenience though, maybe I'd still torrent for watching something like 2001 A Space Odyssey to get those crisp effects but no way I'm gonna spend 2 hours downloading a movie on my trash internet when I could just stream it at like 15% worse quality.
I'd have to be a much more organized person to do that. Sometimes I'm just like "dang I kinda could go for a foreign movie right now" and by the time I'm out of the shower the impulse is gone. Different strokes for different folks though.
you can't download for offline use, because that isn't the point of it
it does seed as you watch the episodes
it's good for if it's a series or film you only want to watch once, or if you don't have the drive space for the full series, or if you don't want to wait to watch it

This is what i do. But my internet is really slow 100kbs on a good day. So i wait for a week or 2.
