<rant> ugh, another zipped movie file. Why do people do that? it saves maybe 2-5% of the size /w most video codecs... I guess most people don't realize it's compressed already... </rant>

Streaming or not you xfer the same amount of data... however it puts more of a load on the machine keeping the connection alive, and the streaming protocol data.
Kinda a moot point if you ask me.

I've designed/hosted a lot of files, and for serious, I had some idiot add an MP3 URL to a playlist and he left his computer running for a couple of days, which resulted in about 200 streams of a 3 meg MP3. 600 MB in two days, due to one file.
Had I zipped the file, that would never have happened. Plus, a few KB shaved off can't hurt (especially in applications where you're serving thousands per day).

But if your tolerance is 3% on needing to save bandwidth, I wouldn't host anything!

ya forcing them to save it might help. Hoping they reuse the download to view it again. I wonder how many people just delete after they are done though.
Really unless the same person viewed it over and over, doing a .zip won't help.
A smart person would turn off streaming on the webserver if they didn't want it
I have it shutoff on all of the stuff I host for gavriil.
anyway, enough off-topic about the video, it's still annoying...
