Multiple people who have no idea how the internet works agreeing with each other doesn't make their assumptions correct. There exists confusion between "downloading" and "a download."

Look- you can't see or hear diddly squat from the internet till your computer DOWNLOADS it from a remote server to your computer. No web pages, pictures, audio or video. NOTHING. Temp files are called temp files for a simple reason- they're TEMPORARY. They're discarded and deleted on a regular basis. With streaming media this happens in a rapid succession- but saying the downloading isn't happening because you can't find the temp files is like saying the garbage you threw out last week never existed because you can't find it any more.

I realize it may be neccessary for people to try and split hairs so they can try and justify their actions, but it doesn't change the reality of the situation. Why bother? You're not fooling anyone. Own your behavior, as some here have done. Admit you don't care - at least it's more honest than people who try and say they can't see how they're doing anything wrong.
