Article notes this doesn’t account for VPNs.
Ha ha lol, so the article is worthless.
How is that relevant though? Are they only monitoring what’s occurring in Canada?
If it’s global, then it wouldn’t matter. BitTorrent traffic doesn’t care what IP it egresses out of.
It’s not just limited to Canada, it’s limited to a single ISP in Canada posting their traffic stats.
I still think it’s crazy that people prefer streaming to downloads.
I don’t have infinity storage space, and if the intention is to erase after watching then why not just stream on stremio?
I’m saying this as someone with 70TB usable storage in nas
How are you complaining about having to delete with 70TB? I have 5 TB drive and I haven’t had to delete anything yet.
Download is usually higher quality, more customizable (subtitles, video player client, audio refinement, etc), and is more censorship proof model in the grand scheme.
I didn’t complain. And I don’t need to hoard anything that I’m not going to watch again.
I get all of what you’re describing with stremio/premiuimize. I watch 4K high bitrate HDR content flawlessly. All I do is open the app, select a stream and it plays.
Same, real debrid or premiumize on kodi makes downloading mostly unnecessary. Occasionally I get something a bit niche I need to hunt down on torrent or Usenet, very rarely.
Yeah been using real-debrid and kodi for almost a decade only thing I have issues with is foreign content. 99% of the time it’s super practical vs maintaining a library or buying storage. I also always stream 4k bluray remuxes which is not what I would want to store anyway
What add on do you use on kodi out of interest. I’ve been on Ezra for a couple of years.
Seren, tried ezra before but still mainly just use seren
stremio is the perfect mix in my opinion. You can pick any torrent and it gets deleted after you finish watching

It seems my situation is different, sometimes I want to watch some movie. I know which. I spin up my external Harddrive and BAM! I AM watching MY movie. If I dont have a Movie or whatelse downloaded and it needs to be now not later, then its always very frantic, because, well streaming services are a bit crap.
I guess I don’t watch enough TV or movies to justify streaming/not downloading.
Well, it is more convenient, but do you know what is even more convenient? Using a service that has all the catalogue of all paid streaming sites together, with no ads whatsoever, I’m talking about Stremio or Kodi along with a debrid account.
In a nutshell Stremio turned the hoarding me into a streaming guy.
Jup, debrid is the way to go.
"New data published by Canadian broadband management company Sandvine reveals that cloud storage, YouTube, and other apps have taken over. "
Information wants to be fast and free. Corporations want information paywalled. It’s a fact that streaming is faster and more convenient than downloading and storing. Until we live in a society where anything is accessible to anyone at any time… both methods will need to exist, otherwise information will be lost.
On an unrelated note, I fucked up and used my limited 1.5 tb data for the month in 2 weeks because of torrent and buying extension packs for the rest of the month. At least it probably helped someone else out there.
When I moved into my otherwise shitty apartment, having Google Fiber was the selling point. Paying Comcast a monthly fee for unlimited bandwidth is something I vow never again to do.
