Streaming typically uses less data than downloading a file entirely because it transmits content in real-time, allowing users to access it without storing the full file on their device. However, the amount of data used can vary based on the quality of the stream; higher resolutions consume more bytes. In contrast, downloading involves transferring the complete file at once, which can result in a larger data usage, especially for high-quality media. Overall, streaming can be more efficient for short-term access to content.

What site can you watch the waltons on without streaming or downloading?

That's simply not possible. The ability to do anything online requires downloading information. Every website you view to do anything is downloading the information you are seeing before displaying it. In the case of watching a video you will always be required to download it. Streaming is simply a variation of downloading where you watch the information while it is downloading and than the temporary files you were viewing are removed from your computer when you are done. If you are not streaming or downloading, you do not have an internet connection and can not do anything online.
