Downloading is the process wherein some contents from a remote machine/website is copied to your desktop machine so that you can view or modify it.

Buffering is the process wherein some contents from a remove machine/website is temporarily copied on to your desktop so that you can view it. Once you finish viewing and close the browser or connection, this file/content would be erased from your machine.

Example: Youtube. Everything you view in YouTube would be buffered to your desktop but the moment you close the browser the contents are gone...
