Hi! Ed,

In a message to Nicholas Boel you wrote:

I noticed this change recently too, Ed.  Before the change, there used to
be a right-click (on the video) option to stop a download (i.e. watching a
vid).  Now that has been removed.  So, since the change, if you pause a
playing video then you're effectively stopping the download as well. 
Personally, I liked it the old way.  OTOH, now to stop a download all we
have to do is pause it.  I'm afraid you lose on this one, this time.

You can beat their new system by installing a video downloader.  I use and
heartily recommend one called (Video) DownloadHelper, a freebie, currently
at version 4.9.21 (the version ought to help you identify it as well).

Cheers,
Paul.
