Isn't that what Flash does as well? I know that I will often start playing a Flash movie, then pause it and go do something else to give it the chance to completely download so I can watch it without worrying about it running out of buffer... > Note that the download buffer is not the same as the playback buffer. It's not clear to me that browsers make a distinction between the two at the moment. -Boris
