Stream is that, it plays at the rate that you view it. when you download it sucks it down as fast as it can to the end user unless its throttled on the server.

About that i have another question you could maybe answer me :P Stream is what you say, but for example, on some tube sites, when you play a clip, it starts streamming, if the connection is too slow, you could go back to part of the already streamed and keep playing from there while the rest of the stream keeps download forward where you are watching .... After configuring my streaming server ( Wowza ), if i go back on a playing stream ( seek ), it starts downloading again from where i seeked even when it was already downloaded!
How can i cache the already downloaded streamed content ? This feature should be configured on server or player? it sounds more likely that it would be on player, which players support this feature ?
