Depends on your hardware.
Streaming is more accessible, but you’re stuck at 720p usually.

I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
The newer AV1 codec has me very interested in HQ streaming. You need a monster machine to make the file, but then it’s 2GB for a high quality 1080p movie.
