If you want to download hours of video for playing offline, you don't want to store that in a transient read-ahead buffer--you want to store it persistently on the disk, so it's not lost if a tab is closed, cache is cleared, etc. It sounds more like a FileAPI use case than a buffering parameters one. -- Glenn Maynard
