Well - there is no big difference if you download 100 MB as one file or
stream it using HLS with smaller segments. In the end you will download
100 MB data. So only avoiding downloads completely *may* be better for
the environment. But on the other hand using data media like CD/DVD/BD
was also not ideal since these media had to be produced first.
