Youtube streams the file. No they don't, they use progressive download. This is very different from streaming.

- chrischen 17y agoYes I know, and you can retrieve the FLV file from your cache too. Sorry for using the wrong technical term but for the point at hand it is irrelevant. Actually it'd be more in YouTube's interest to control the playback experience since they use HTTP streaming, since the stream is less controllable by itself.
