Downloading Videos: How can you determine if one is true streaming?
When viewing a video on a web page, how can you tell if the video is being stored on a file in the cache versus true steaming, is not getting stored as a file in the cache, and you need the tools described in <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=561681">Download FLV videos from any site using Opera!</a>Sometimes I have discovered that a video was apparently streaming when I didn't find it in the cache and had to download it again.
