streaming question

[arizark]

i am just wondering does streaming contribute as much to your download limit as say downloading the movie to your hard drive would? because i'm not sure if i should just download shows episodes to my computer instead of streaming them

The only difference between Streaming and Downloading (as far as I know) is that streaming downloads it while you watch, while downloading is just the file downloading for future use. Each works exactly the same; Streaming is just for more immediate watching.

 

 

 

You can use whichever you like at no harm to your download connection. Streaming is simply accessing the file while it is being downloaded as well.

Well to add to what darkblade said. If you have a hard cap on your download limit per month I would suggest downloading them if your going to watch them more than once. If not, you will need to re-download the video everytime, which will eat up your bandwidth.

Unless you're streaming it though Windows Media (For example), which can then let you go and click Save As and save the file once its downloaded.
