Rakly3 I'm trying to explain why users have this problem only on SLR. Downloading from a streaming server is different from downloading from a fileserver.
Rakly3 The point being, that people are downloading from a streaming server. And what the difference is, because the streaming service would not work if we would not use streaming optimized encodes.
when you say "streaming server" are you referring to a cdn (content delivery network) where the served files may not be fully cached?
Rakly3 You make it sound as if I said that it's the encoding itself that causes the issue. - Which I didn't.
not at all. im just not sure why you were even mentioning encoding in the first place. how a file is encoded is of no concern to a browser or download manager that is downloading the file. the encoding has no impact on downloading and cannot cause download issues.
