Hi, I'm trying to make an application which will get multiple links for download from another server, zip them up on my server and forward the zip to the client. So I have a few questions:1) how do these online YouTube/video downloaders work? Do they download all files for you and then serve a link for the file? If so, then how do they deal with storage space? Or do they directly stream the files? How does this process work?2) let's say I have a middle server which queries another server for the file links (via Ajax call), then gets the link. Now should i download all these files on my disk, zip then and then send to client? Or is there some way i zip the files on the fly and send a stream (i am not aware of how streams work) to the client?Thanks!
