Streaming vs Downloading
Which uses more bandwith - I assume downloadind. For example a webpage has an embedded windows media player to play an audio file. I can use a firefox plugin to download it to my desktop - is that using much more bandwith?

Re: Streaming vs Downloading
It really depends. If you're downloading the file, chances are you are getting it faster than the streaming speed, so that would consume more instantaneous bandwidth for a smaller length of time.
