Yes true streaming requires that you set up say shoutcast, real server, or windows streaming media server. if they save as link, or let Real player "buffer" before they play, either way its downloading it in the same manor. a client sends a get request, and then subsequent get chunk requests via http. its all in the RFCs if you care to read them. I've had to write some custom download software, ah the joys of tcp/ip sockets ....
