Default Question about streaming vids

If you watch a streaming vid does it count as downloading them?

I need to know because I have a download cap on my internet and I don't want to pass it.. Thanks

it coutns as download even when you are visiting a site you are downloading something.usualy streaming vids are small around 200megs for 90 minutes at 640*480.or at least this is what i now.they defenetly counts as download.

Download caps are just ridiculous in this day of broadband internet. If your ISP has no plans to get rid of, or atleast increase, download caps then you should just switch to another provider. Broadband is very cheap these days!

Download caps suck so bad... there are a lot of ISPs, just switch to one without a cap,
the amount of crap I download every month is ridiculous :P

I hope my ISP won't ban the highest-bandwith sucking person on their network :P
