ad nauseum, unless google plans on deleting youtube, they have the impossible task of letting people watch videos, but also preventing that. streaming is downloading by another name. once you download data into an other machines buffer, the only real obstacle to treating it like any other structure is, trust me bro, i wont copy it and concatenate it to a persistent file. | ||||||||||||||
