Hello,

I would please like to know the following:

1) Can FMS be used for progressive downloading?

2) Is limelight Networks just like flash media server in terms that you save the data on their server not yours?

3) is FMS (in theory) the same as windows server?

Tanks for you time and contribution! =D

3) FMS is much more than a tradition streamer server, it is a "communication" server. It is an "hub" for communications applications.

Yes, but why would you bother? A standard web server will let you do that.

The beauty of the Flash server is that is lets you stream live or reorded video and run actionscript applications like chat or video conferencing and more.

Streaming video from a flash server is instant on (like youtube) and lets you jump to any point in the video - something progressive download won't let you do.

1) Yes
2) No - FMS is a standalone product while limelight Networks is a company that provides various (streaming) services. I'm not sure if they themselves use FMS for anything.
3) Not even close.
