Why does Film & Sound Online offer downloading rather than streaming?
The JISC is still not convinced of the feasibility and efficiency of streaming large media files over the JANET network. Film & Sound Online is therefore required to deliver the films by progressive download rather than by streaming. This does not exclude the possibility, however, of an institution choosing to download films to its own server and then streaming them to authorised users over a local network.
