Streaming vs Downloading

[The_Pumpkin_King]

seeing as i have a 3GB cap, would it be wiser for me to watch streaming media instead of downloading a 1hour episode?

how much bandwith would 1 episode consume vs +700MB for downloading?

It's always better to download a video rathr than streaming, if you can. Because you can always watch it over and over again. And if your connection is inerrupted somehow, then you can always resume your download with a download manager. If your connection get's interrupted while streaming, then you would have to start streaming from the beginning again. And that's just ridiculously annoying when you've watched about 30mins and you're half way through.

afaik the bandwidth you use should be the same.

yes downloading is better... and the resolution on the streaming videos is really crap.
