If somebody is out surfing for porn on a friday night, he is not going to wait till the next day to get his movie. And then find a time to be alone to watch it.
Have Tubes and Torrents affected traffic? Sure. But, every day there is so much porn being produced. SOMEBODY is buying it. If everybody was getting porn for free, how do porn sites have the money to keep shooting fresh content? Nobody is working for free.

Most porn movie files are more like a couple hundred megs not gigs. And I can tell you how many of the big companies are still shooting fresh content...they do it the same way I still make money with them...RECURRING BILLING. But new sales? Not so much. And the rebills die away every day.
And I don't think that the hundreds of millions of people downloading from torrents are all that worried about download time. They are strictly in it for FREE stuff. If that was my goal, I wouldn't worry about download time. I'd just do what I did back 10 years ago on dial up....Start a download in the morning and walk away and do other things in life. Come back a few hours later and your download is there.
My plumber that I used as an example...He works all day long driving to people's houses and repairing the plumbing. He could start all his downloads at 6 a.m. when he leaves for work and have them all waiting for him that evening.
