There are two ways to view media on the internet : Downloading and Streaming

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. This has some advantages (such as quicker access to different parts of the file) but has the big disadvantage of having to wait for the whole file to download before any of it can be viewed. 

Streaming

Streaming media works a bit differently, the end user can start watching the file almost as soon
as it begins downloading. In effect, the file is sent to the user in a constant stream, and the user watches it as it arrives. The obvious advantage with this method is that no waiting is involved.

Streaming media has additional advantages such as being able to broadcast live events (sometimes referred to as a webcast or netcast).
