The embedded video and the download link actually point to the same file, hosted on 3qd, so there shouldn't really be any difference.
(And thanks for the tip.)

On second thought, you're right. If you're streaming the file, you can skip forward to the point where the server gave up (or perhaps the video player does it automatically?), whereas a simple "save as" in the browser will just stop.
But I suspect the embed will only work for Windows (it doesn't work here), and simply using "wget" or some other downloading program can get around that problem anyway.
