Haha, I always try to buy my stuff whenever I can, as well. xD;
I only resort to downloading when I'm completely flatout of money, and I won't be able to try it out until a few months, or so. This usually only relates to games.
But then, when I DO get the money, I go ahead and buy it eventually.
Back in the day, though...
I downloaded stuff nonstop. It was insane. o3o
