      I have used years ago different download platforms, years before Torrent, in the time of Napster, Emule etc. but so far the official streaming service provide a good offer, without wasting time. I don’t think it worst the effort to download illegally ie comparing with price of Prime. I see now a tendency when the platform cost will increase and users should, in theory have 10 platforms, where i may understand the reason for people returning to illegal download. The streaming service companies should think carefully before increasing the price or creating new rules to share the cost.

        Sure, they provide a good offer but force you to use a Chromebook instead of a regular Linux distro… Sounds like a big constraint to me.

          I understand. In this case we should blame the streaming companies about it and if I need this function I have not much choice apart illegal download.

          Thanks. It’s interesting but I’m traveling a lot for business, and I need offline content. That’s one of reasons to use Chromebook for me .
