117. It seems to me like downloading is done more than streaming

The streaming I've seen was not very good and if the connections on either end are not good or if it is overloaded it is worthless. I'm curious when they are going to crack down on the other way. It seems like the only thing definitive that they are doing is going after the big websites.
