A bluray remux of a whole series can run in the hundreds or thousands of gigabytes. I want to be able to download and watch it the same day I decide to do so.
Blueray bitrate is lower than even 1gbps so even full remux is downloadable at a speed you could begin to watch it the same day while later episodes continue to download. You wouldn't need the full series downloaded up front.
This is true, but then I am running my FTP software all day downloading from my seedbox and having to deal with queueing episodes so it's still just not as ergonomic as downloading and being done with it
