    Download vs. Streaming - Can't Decide

    93.25% of our content bandwidth goes to downloads. 6.85% to streaming.

    Maybe I could save a LOT of money if I stopped offering the content for download?

    Or maybe people join our sites specifically because they CAN download - and I would actually loose money if I stopped offering the content for download?

    Actually, I am not thinking of terminating downlads altogether - i HAVE TO have downloading for the iPod site we do. So I am thinking of ONLY allowing those downloads, and killing the Windows Media Downloads. What do you think: Would members be pissed if they only had the option to download Quicktime?

    I personally hate video streaming and I'd never join a site that has only streaming as an option.

            All surfers prefer downloads, but you might retain better if you only use streaming.

              A few very big programs only offer streaming. They seem to do ok.
              I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                    Yeah me too I hate streaming! I wouldnt signup for a site if they only had streaming. I would only signup for just that site if they had REALLY good content.

                      streaming isnt so bad when its long content... instant gratification to jump where u want instantly is the shit... esp w/ like preview thumbs timecoded, etc.

                              depends on how much content you have and how often you update.

                              the surfers prefer downloads, because they can turn on their machine in the morning, and click a bunch of vids to save to their HD and come home after work and wank.

                              now if you don't have much content or you don't update all the time you won't recur very well---if you do you will keep the surfer on the hook.
