Don't download a 129MB file automatically

[franciscop]

Please don't auto-download a 129MB file automatically from the website. I'm on mobile and don't want to have my data spent just by visiting the website.

Agreed

I propose two alternatives:

• Download a 2-3MB file. However this is not so cool as you cannot see the video itself, but much better than using the user's data plan.
• Detect the device/screen and choose to download only on desktop. However this is probably error-phrone.

Another option:

• Add a "stop" button (or a "start" one) so the visitors can toggle the torrent download at will.
