3) More conducive manner to download thanks to you

I really don't see much of a difference between most 720p & 1080p videos in terms of video quality (when I can play 1080s), so this is just what the doctor ordered. On top of that, this will take a little over 4 minutes to download. Thank you again.
Who needs videos when thumbnails will do? I'm glad for you, but the video won't be playable in a year when you upgrade to 4K. 720p is 1/8th the size of a 4K monitor. Streaming sites offer a max of 720p (foreign ones mostly), so it's probably best to just check there are forget about files.
