First it's about having it available when Netflix inevitably decides they're not going to license it anymore.. But for Netflix originals, it's so my extended family can enjoy the good stuff without having to pay Netflix their stupid rates... especially now that I'm not allowed to share my netflix password with family (which used to be encouraged)
I don't download directly from Netflix, though I understand it's possible, but I find stuff on Netflix I like and then go dig up the torrent... Someone else has always pre-done the heavy lifting for me. :)
