Some people’s internet and hard drives would be crippled by this. It’s to promote multitasking mostly. There are ways to download videos that I won’t get into, but it is possible if you desperately want to buffer the whole video. I do think it’s stupid to lock offline video downlaods behind a subscription paywall, but I am small fry and will do what I can.
Not at all. If your hard drive would get crippled by a few GBs then I don’t know what to tell you. When the playback is stopped, and the application closed, then the temporary files are discarded.
The argument about bandwidth usage is accurate though. I didn’t make sense to buffer the whole video when it might not be watched anyways.
It would buffer to a temp folder. Storing it all in RAM would be pointless.
