I wasn't being rude, and i apologize if it appeared that way.
All i meant is for the op to google the answer to his or her question, after all they say google has the answer to almost everything.

He asked about streaming vs downloading and not 3gp vs mp4.....moreover they consume the same amount of data. The only difference is that streaming downloads and stores as a temporary video and also plays while downloading
