2 ways to stream audio & video media on the internet:
HTTP streaming: hyperlink to file or embed code.
Downloading: When you download a file the entire file is saved on your computer (usually in a temporary folder), which you then open and view.
progressive download: the video clip is downloaded but begins playing as soon as a portion of the file has been received (simulates true streaming, but doesn't have all the advantages)
True Streaming: The end user can start watching the file almost as soon as it begins downloading (delivered from a specialized streaming server).

True Streaming Video Servers Can:
Handle large traffic loads.
Detect users' connection speeds and supply appropriate files automatically.
Broadcast live events.
