You can limit unnecessary download with progressive with two combined tools:
1. Bandwidth throttling.
2. MP4 seeking support (usually a server plugin, e.g. mod_h264_streaming or whatever).
This way you can use progressive download and still limit the user to a sane download speed.
- drawkbox 17y agoGood points. Throttling works well with a good infrastructure and haven't used seeking support but will look into it. Seems like there is overhead with streaming and seeking but maybe throttling is the way to go. Still you'd need to be able dynamically adjust it to the users connection and the data rate of the video, that is kinda what is nice about streaming which is on top.
