and give NO adventages.

anyway - file that is available through FTP/HTTP or similar way you can 
stream too. just without any extra tools both under windoze and unix.

under windoze browsers can open movie and play, under unix you can give 
URL's to mplayer like files or define mplayer as player for .avi,.flv,.rm 
etc files.
