Oh wow, a version of the meme that's the "right way around"

I think this every time I see the format. He’s literally squinting in the shot with the glasses on!

I wish…

Unfortunately I have to use direct downloads. I don’t have the money for a VPN.

The direct downloads maliciously limit the download speed to 50 kB/s 😭

Well my country doesn't care, but I'll keep this in mind.

I prefer a seed box to a VPN. The seedbox does all the torrenting traffic and I only ever download from the seedbox sftp server

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Also depends on how much they let you tinker with your host, the seedbox can also be a VPN.

A seedbox is basically just a server which is just a computer, the provider mostly just help you set it up and provide a URL and authentication system for you to access it.

But it also requires money like VPNs

Streaming seems to often be faster than direct downloads, for whatever reason.

[-] ErenOnizuka@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Streaming? Of course. It’s heavily compressed after all. But I‘m downloading to archive, preserve and re-watch when I have no internet connection.
