FWIW, I've only seen that behavior if the video being streamed is flash. I just paused an 8+ minute video in html5 the loading bar completed. A paused flash video stopped loading after about 55 seconds of video. The download extensions to chrome and firefox don't seem to be affected. So, I don't think the theory of making downloads harder holds true. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
