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 ?

That is not streaming, most sites use lighttpd with the flv plugin/module and just throttle/rate limit the download to look like its streaming. We've used wowza and adobe FMS neither cache/save to the desktop. This would defeat the purpose of streaming. Streaming is meant to stream and never leave the "whole" thing on the clients computer.
99% of our tube customers use wowza/fms few use lighttpd still.
