I’ve stopped relying on offline downloads (on netflix) since upon crossing national boundaries, the offline content is deleted. As an expat who travels back to India once a blue moon (and has shitty internet back home), I now pirate any content I plan to see during my vacations.

Wow, that's terrible.

To paraphrase Chris Rock talking about OJ, "now I'm not saying you should have pirated... But I understand!"

I've hit this myself as well. I no longer purchase streaming media, but instead, I buy Bluray's or DVD's. I rip them to H.264 with Handbrake and use those for travel. Yes, it's a bit annoying, but much less annoying than the "convenience" of streaming video and offline downloads.
