I never choose higher bitrate releases. IDK why exactly. When you search for a movie and there's a half dozen releases, you choose the groups you know, and the number of seeders, and usually end up with a 2gb to 4gb release size. The bitrate doesn't really factor into my decision, partly I suppose because it's always "good enough", and partly because it's not a reliable indicator of image quality anyway.

Once I upgraded to a 4k tv I started pulling 4K HDR versions. It can be hard to know how good the quality will be between 5GB, 10GB, 25GB and 50GB movies, because there are many substandard releases out there. Especially true with older content. Newer stuff can make a difference, but let’s be realistic. It costs nothing to just download a few versions and see. :)
