As it continues to be a BW and quality loss problem, I don't see fansubbers switching to streaming as a main distro option. We can't deliver fansubs via streaming w/o taking a quality hit. Quality is too important for to many groups.
You also need to factor in when an episode is first released. If you ever been on irc, you would see that bots get lagged due to over-requesting and overuse of BW. I 'd expect streaming sites to feel the same kind of stress when an episode is first released, because they aren't designed to handle a rapid number of request per second during a release period.(assuming of course, we kept the quality the same)
This isn't a problem on youtube and other places atm, because they don't draw viewer traffic immediately during a release period. A viewer usually ul the episode a few hours after. At that point, there is minimal interest to see it streamed and at that quality.
