Youtube enables Video Caching


Folks at youtube have been working really hard to make youtube more efficient and wonderful. When you are just about to believe that Youtube is perfect...boom...they unpack a new feature. This time they have incorporated video caching.
General Scenario: You are watching a video, its halfway but streamed to its max, suddenly u hit ur refresh tab accidentally..oops...streaming again from beginning!
Now: You are watching a video, its halfway but streamed to its max, suddenly u hit ur refresh tab accidentally..OMG! no restreaming needed the video is already loaded..or cached!!
We found out it does have a time limit but cant confirm this now..can be our misinterpretation too!!
But anyways these feature is like cherry on top..Beautiful Youtube!! Keep em Coming!!
