Not my best decision...

Finally watched Encanto! ...On a streaming site, rather than paying for Disney+ (ick), going to a theater (in a pandemic?!), or downloading it (DDL is sparse and I haven't torrented anything in a dog's age). This turned out to be a mistake, as I think the longest I managed to go without the site pausing to buffer was, uh. Five minutes-ish? And usually it was more like ten seconds. And at least ten second to buffer. The whole watching took closer to four hours than the 1hr 42min advertised.

Still, I've finally seen it, and I enjoyed it! I'll just be sure to buy the DVD before resorting to this streaming site again. (Though honestly, the fact that I was trying to watch on a Saturday evening between 7pm and 11pm probably didn't help much...)

Yeah, I definitely didn't have nearly as much trouble when I had a direct internet connection instead of wireless, but, well, only so many options at the moment.

Oh, I didn't necessarily mean legal downloads... 😇

Yeah, I know the feeling.

That DOES help with some of those concerns, haha, and tends to be my preference if I want a digital copy of something, lol. (Slightly sad commentary that piracy is an attractive option not just for monetary reasons... but just wanting to know you control your own files!)
