    Streaming is essentially downloading, just not saving the file.
    So, if your ISP is charging you by the MB download, you're better off finding a download site so you can keep the file & watch when you want.
    Saying that, streaming a low quality file would be cheaper than downloading a HD version of the same file.

    It all depends on your ISP download limit. If unlimited, which it should be, I wouldn't worry, but if you are on a capped download, yes you will get cut off or charged for going over their limit.
