"Historydl.app is better still. You can stream when you want, and download when you want. The only addition this plugin makes is the fact that it can download non-safari filetypes. however, I don't see the point to downloading filetypes the iphone can't handle, since you'd have to transfer them to a computer, and it's easier to just save the link and download on the computer anyway.

However, as soon as this develops to the point where you can choose to download, and it does not prevent streaming, it will be good."
