(2) Do you have any restrictions about stream-only vs. download or stream?

As a user I will plead for download. Streaming just doesn't work very well
with slow dialup or intermittent cable connections. I finally had to resort to
Total Recorder to make the BBC archive feeds listenable.
Of course many feel that streaming is mandatory for copyright protection,
which I don't understand from a technical viewpoint since it forces me to make a
copy to listen to! On my system (XP) if you click on a downloadable link,
Media Player plays it, but a copy appears only in the Temporary Internet File,
which most people don't know how to access anyway.
