It has struck me with the rise of streaming video I still prefer to download them because I want to watch them more than once and maybe share them with other people. However, I realise some video files are high quality and therefore much larger than the average Youtube video of the same length.

My question to you guys is what is the difference in

1. Streaming a video of say 100MB
2. Downloading the same video file

Is the streaming more efficient and uses less bandwidth or does it work out the same?

Thanks
Ramon
