It seems like it uses the same to be honest. I was very surprised when i started streaming regularly. My download limit was passed very quickly
It Depends on what you are downloading
It depends on what your doing. Streaming video like FaceTime could hog your 2 Gbs within 12 Hours. Downloading programs also absorbs data. Using sites like Facebook will not use many Megabytes.
That term is used when you receive data on the computer while you use it, as opposed to downloading a complete file and THEN using it. For example, when you listen to online radio, you don't need to download a complete MP3 (or similar) file first, to listen to it.
The iHeartRadio app is a radio station streaming app. The data stream is 64 kbps, which is about 225 MB per hour.
Yes
It's more or less exactly the same thing. Downloading it makes it into a file on your computer, streaming it has it arrive in a less tangible form, data in a buffer. But either way, if the movie is 80MB on the server side, you're still downloading 80MB of data whether you take a copy of the file, or stream it to a buffer. (Some buffering options offer lower quality versions which will involve a lower data transger).
No, unless you are streaming it from a site or app such as YouTube
The term "download" means to receive data. If you download a file, then some outside source (another computer, an external hard drive, a CD, etc.) is transferring the data contained in a file to your computer or storage device.
Downloading porn is far more common than streaming porn, because people like to keep their porn on their own computers. Downloading it enables them to keep the porn for later.
Downloading at flixdump is like downloading from youtube. Flixdump is a site that uses streaming videos. I suggest you use ant video downloader in getting the videos off your browser and saving it to your computer.
Applications like Milk Music and Pandora all will use the same amounts of data because they are all a type of streaming music service for your mobile phone. You can test it by downloading and trying out each service for small amount of time to see which one you feel works out best for you.
