Technically, anything acquired online is a download. I am reading this reply after the email has downloaded. Looking at a webpage is after the webpage has downloaded to your computers web browser
In relation to playing video, you can download the file, then after it has downloaded, the result is the file is on your computer. You can play it. That is not streaming
Streaming is playing the video AS it downloads. Depending on what application is used to download/play you may also have the file, but typically you won't.
YouTube is streaming, On Demand TV is streaming. Downloading 3 episodes of a TV series, then watching them a few days later is not streaming, you are merely playing a local file on your computer

I am sure I am not using the proper technical terms, but as Tony NZ states, I consider a "download" when I have to save the file to a file, then play it. I consider this to be streaming, but like I said, I may be using the incorrect technical term.

Im not the OP, I am Tony NZ
I gather he is streaming from a website rather than downloading a discrete file then playing that file. His "file" is being played while downloading, so unless the website has a save option, he wont have a discrete file on his computer
