I'm a prospective user and have done a bit of research, but I have one main concern. Since everything is stored in pieces and rebuilt client-side, does that mean everything will be downloaded and stored to your machine's solid storage? Or is there an option to have it only temporarily stored to memory or cache and then wiped when you're done with it? Or even an option to only stream the content (which doesn't look like an option from what I've seen). My concern is the risk of downloading malicious files and the risk of physically possessing pirated content.
