| Both streaming and download.. |
   |
| Stream 100% I got caught a few years ago downloading a movie *ahh, before anime days* and if I get caught downloading anything ever again the only cable internet available where I live will ban us :'( Although the chances are so slim of getting caught for downloading, I'd prefer to watch bad quality to no anime at all any day. Oh also there's only 7 gbs left on my computer so it would barely hold anything anyway! |
| Both. Streams aren't that bad if you get the right site :] |
     |
| Download, this way I can store the anime. My HD's only 150GB so I convert all anime to DVD(XviD) and PC compatible and put it in a DVD+R. Currently I have almost 100 dvd discs in my collection. |
| this thread made me remember hard times when I watched everything I could get. sometimes even on VHS... yeah, Internet makes your life better =) now only download and than burn it on DVDs. my HD is also full. and no streaming. tried once but ended downloading that series.

I'm like 200 but half of them I have lent to my friend and to friends of my friends... hope they'll come back some time... |
 |
| I stream, since downloading does take up memory. |
 |
| I stream been trying to find some good non paying torrent sites. Anyone with some it would be nice if you could tell m |
| Download. |
| I don't want to have an eye cancer so i download |

Sylpheed said: Currently I have almost 100 dvd discs in my collection. great achievement! I'm like 200 but half of them I have lent to my friend and to friends of my friends... hope they'll come back some time... I'm still not a year old since I've been active in anime. I guess I can do 200 for the next year if there's still more to download ^^ I quite get the hang of it because I proposed this idea to my friend. We download different anime, convert then trade. Since I'm doing this, I put all anime I've downloaded On-Hold. Downloading and converting is faster than watching in my case. They're at 50+ now. I wonder when will I be able to watch all of them. It's nice to know you're also doing the same ^^ |
| I steam for some Previews or Trailers.. But basically i download it (: |
  [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/_Haru&sclick=1]  |
| Download 99% of the time. |
| Downloaded episodes has the best quality. Stream episodes are kinda hard to see. |
 |
| Usually, stream Downloading takes too long :( |
| When I first started watching... I sorta had a lot of series to watch so I streamed a lot of them, but I did download a fair amount. Now I download unless I can't find one, then its to streams. |

| Both. I stream shows I'm not much interested in, and download the other ones. |
 |
| i stream at first. if it's good then i'll download it. |
| I've always downloaded. I can't stand the quality of streaming and I like having the eps on my comp for easy access. |
| Download. Better quality |

It's nice to know you're also doing the same ^^ it's not my ultimate goal. just want to be able watch some titles again, because companies licensing anime sometimes manage to delete almost all sight of some anime has ever been fansubbed. as far as I'm not from North America, quite difficult to purchase a license DVD, so for me it's just the way to store almost all my anime. and I'm burning only watched titles, in case someone won't give them back =) |
| |
| I prefer downloading the anime because it's much better than streaming Streaming doesn't have good quality but downloading has awesome quality you just have to look for the better fansub group |
 |
| Usually stream. If I really like it and want to rewatch, I download :3 |
| Download unlicenced, buy licenced :) |
| I do a bunch of both. When I was still in school I only downloaded because of the fast university connection. But I do less of that now since I'm low on space and my internet is crap. I imagine that will shift yet again to only dl-ing now.. or at least once that harddrive I bought arrives in the mail ^^ |
| If I can't find a download for it or don't want to bother with a download I'll stream. I rarely download shorts though, something only a few minutes long I just stream. |
| Prefer download than streaming. Depend on the size and the quality of video. |

| I stream to preview & save space. I download if I really like it. Currently downloading: 00 Gundam, Soul Eater, Casshern Sins, Kannagi, Shippuuden,Bleach & Ga-Rei. Everything else is stream. I also don't download manga usually, I just view it online. |

| Question: what exactly is "streaming"? |
 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. - John 1:5 (KJV) |
Dewdropmon said: Question: what exactly is "streaming"? Are you being facetious, or are you serious? I mean, if its the latter, then streaming is when you go on YouTube/Veoh and play a file without letting it download all the way. If you're being facetious, suck. :D Anyway. I hate streaming, except in certain circumstances. Like when I'm at a friend's house and we're surfing the internet using his PS3--we'll stream a few eps of stuff there. Or if I'm using someone else's laptop or something and I'm on long enough to stream but not download. I'll stream then. But at my own house? Pfft. No streaming. Ever. I can't stand the drop in quality, plus some uploaders screw up and the timing's all f'ed. If I don't like a series or don't feel its worth downloading, I generally don't feel its worth watching. |

| I do a little bit of everything. I watch some stuff thru streaming sites, mostly Hulu. I also download some of my newer stuff that is airing right now. And then I buy what I like. |
     |
| I never stream, I keep all my anime plus streaming quality is horrid... |
| Download. Anime must be watched in the highest quality possible!!! |
| i mostly download but i may stream something to check if its even worth downloading |
| I download. I have been since I started because my old connection wasn't even enough for streams to work, even at the most crappy quality. Since then I've been a quality whore >> Usually, if people ask, i'll say "Even when you stream, you techniclaly still "download" it, and if you know how, you can get the video out of your browser's cache, right? |
| Stream or download, for holidays |
| download better quality. |

No, I wwas being quite serious. I'd heard the term streaming before, but I wasn't quite sure what it reffered to. Now that I know, I can't believe that I even had to ask. Thanks for answering my question though. For me, I prefer downloading. |

| Download. Streaming halves the fun... |
| I stream legal anime I download illegal anime, pretty simple. Downloads I only do fansubs but streams are from crunchyroll to funimation.com to hulu to the anime network online. I don't stream illegal anime(but I do upload old anime to youtube go figure) |
| My anime list |
| Download. Streaming makes me want to kill kittens. |
 |
| Can't stand the quality of streams, only high quality downloads for me, 720p preferred, 1080p if available, and I watch them all on my tv. |
| both of them...i watch anime on stream but download them for my friends:D |
 |
| Animes I can find a decent streaming site for all episodes = Stream Animes I can't find a streaming site for = Download |
 |
| Download. Can't stand crappy quality. |
| Download of course, anime on streaming site is often in a low ebb |
| I usually just get anime off my friend, but otherwise I download, irc ftw =) |
