Downloading or Streaming Netflix uses the same amount of data whether you download or stream.

Some People download the Netflix Movie to watch later offline but if you're at home and on WiFi connection streaming the movie would be a better option.

When you download the movie you have to wait until the entire video or movie is downloaded to your computer or device before watching it.

But with streaming the movie or video on Netflix you can start watching it immediately.

Either way it all uses the same amount of data to stream a movie or to download a movie.
