Personally, I prefer to download media to my hard disc when I can. I think it's because, no matter what happens to my internet connection, I'll be able to watch whatever shows I have downloaded. But there are times (especially with anime or music) where a show is just too long and I can't justify taking up the disc space. Generally, if it's more than 15-20GB, I'm gonna stream it. Sometimes I'll cave and download it, though. However, when it comes to western cartoons, movies, or TV dramas (western or otherwise), I tend to stream them more often than I download them. There are, of course, exceptions to this, like if I can't find a stream of something I'll end up downloading it. Sometimes if I really want to see an anime, I'll stream it while I'm downloading it, too. I download all the music I listen to my hard disc...I really just don't see the appeal of programs like Spotify, since I like to be able to take my music with me when I go out.
How about you, Insiders?
