In today’s fast paced world where people hardly find time to go out and enjoy, online movie streaming websites are a good source of entertainment. There are numerous websites that give you an option to download a movie or serial and then play it. The trend of downloading and watching movies became popular a few years back as it was quite economical as compared to going out and purchasing movie tickets or ordering a movie on your television sets. However, people soon lost interest in it as downloading movies was a very tedious and time-consuming task.
The time taken to download a movie is almost as long as the movie itself. This means that much before watching a movie you will have to turn on your PC and start the downloading process.

Apart from the unnecessary electricity consumption, there are other disadvantages attached to it too, for instance if there is a power failure, you’ll have to begin the entire downloading procedure again (though certain sites or systems give you the option of resuming it from where it was left; but most of them don’t). So basically the time involved is quite high. This is the reason why the service providers felt the need of creating online video-streaming.
