how does it work?
Automatic fragmentation and parallel requests for up to 6x faster download speeds. Watch videos without interruptions by predownloading the video in the background.
Looks like it mostly just buffers the video more aggressively. If you have a good Internet connection it won't do anything useful other than peg the server's connection downloading the entire video file at gigabit speeds and make it worse for other viewers.
I would worry about getting rate-limited then, I've seen some content servers just be very picky about making too many requests (through jumping in the video too far too often).
"You're trying to be efficient and you use a computer too well, you must be a bot! You're banned."
My experience every time I try to use most ecommerce sites like amazon
It's more that abnormal traffic gets flagged, and you end up getting limited
I get that its abnormal for me to open twenty tabs for a bunch of products and a bunch of different queries simultaneously. That's just being good at computers, and it should be encouraged.
Don't ban people who are abnormal. Machine learning anomaly detection is making the internet unusable.
